Is this a fever dream?

Find yourself someone who loves you as much as EC3 loves this "narrative" gimmick/name. He's been trying for 2 years to make that happen and still has little in the way of hype.
Good luck to them though. Even if it only reaches ROH/MLW level another place to work can only be a good thing.

Cody shows up on the inaugural show like "I'm here to control this narrative. Literally. I have creative control."

The Control Your Narrative show I watched (the EC3 vs. Strowman one) was both so boring I couldn't finish it and something I couldn't get enough of. It's like those really weird 2000s church wrestling shows but with a distinct absence of God and a whole lot more of EC3. Seriously the way dudes talk about him on this show is like Jeff Jarrett and Jesus combined it's hilarious.
If you've ever wanted to watch Jervis Cottonbelly get mauled by a bear man while a narrator ponders what it means to wear a mask, this show is for you.

Gotta laugh at them seemingly taking a dig at AEW when they're using AEW contracted talent.....not the brightest idea

That's a terrible name.
I can't see this being a success.

A friend asked me if I saw 'the EC3 shit' and I didn't even jump to some cynical question of if he did a racism, I asked if it was about Control Your Narrative first, and oh my god is this the absolute best news. Nothing could make me happier than the idea of seeing this thing get a TV deal and an episode commitment. Control Your Narrative is like if someone took the dreams you have when you lie in bed sick and too drunk for your own good off of absinthe and weaving in and out of consciousness and threading disparate thoughts together into lucid dreams, and then they made a cheap student arthouse film out of those dreams.

I hope EC3 sent a nice gift basket to Impact for letting them use a whole lot of their talent, including the current World Champion.

The first paragraph sounds absolutely awful The second paragraph has me intrigued

so EC3 is really convinced this Control Your Narrative stuff is solid gold then huh?
I mean... good luck to him if this actually takes off but... I don't see it happening.

I met Adam Scherr at WrestleCade and he hinted at EC3 and him doing it... good to know they've got it going! I miss all these guys on TV

I feel like he's a dude who, in his head, already has his wrestling matches being narrated by some guy giving deep character motivations for every move he does, CYN just gives him an opportunity to not be 'that guy who keeps muttering to himself about how much of a dark badass he is during matches'.

Once upon a time, folks on this very forum ragged on me for having the gall to think Derrick Bateman wasn't going to be a breakout megastar.

So he's the next one to give the ole...lets try to replicate LU's style a try huh wrestling through a cinematic lense.
And there are no contracts....idk EC3 handshakes and head knods seem like a bad idea to try and retain talents.

Never looked into his gimmick. From the first promos, he looked like a Punisher wannabe from the manosphere, ready to prove people wrong who never thought ill of him and - as a result - now everybody thinks ill of him. Not a single good vibe I get from it and Strowman is in it, too, who's exactly the type of guy who gets his life guidance from a wrestling dude living his gimmick.
