The dude yelling on the street about EC3 was Percy Watson. I also had to rack the f*** out of my brain trying to figure out who it was, cause it was like...okay Scorpio Sky bone structure but clearly not Scorpio Sky...who the hell... Percy "Totally Not Scorpio Sky" Watson Percy "I Play Video Games, But It's Candy Crush" Watson.

You know, maybe Vince didn't make a mistake when he didn't really try with EC3 on the main roster. He made a mistake with not even trying.
Just because EC3 on his own is currently shitting the bed, doesn't absolve WWE of getting it wrong with EC3, as Braun being involved in this lets WWE off the hook for making Strowman the biggest choke artist in wrestling history.
Same story with Damien Sandow. Just because he had an absolutely wretched TNA run doesn't mean WWE didn't drop the ball with him.
Plus it's not like WWE would give EC3 a mic and tell him to "go wild." He'd be just as overly scripted as everyone else. So this weird stuff would never hit air time. But I just don't know how anyone can take a guy who's obvious strong point is their speaking ability, and turn them into a mute. It's cutting off your nose to spite your own face.

I feel like it'd be more accurate to say that having "better ideas than Vince McMahon" and having "actual good ideas" are not necessarily the same thing.

What the hell is this. EC3 just yelled out “Toxic chemicals made in China to poison our kids!!!” Why. What’s happening ...I may have to watch this

It’s like if someone tried to make a wrestling promotion in the style of the weird batshit nonsense of the Ultimate Warrior’s 1996 comic. Keyword: “tried”.

I've been waiting all my life for the man I am inside
In an effort to decipher his own oracle of Delphi, EC3 just couldn't understand how he'd wait for the man that is himself who happens to be inside, when he never was outside or if there's a period missing after "man", so he'd wait for "the" man (Ric Flair and Becky Lynch confirmed) while being inside. It drove the poor guy insane.

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. I did feel bad for EC3 when he was on the main roster, but guy just never did it for me, even back in the NXT days.

This entire thread and the entire philosophy behind this promotion, just makes me think of every time there's been a reasonably well-known video game creator who's just departed or been fired from Capcom/Konami/etc and has gotten carte blanche via Kickstarter or some other indy fundraiser to Do Their Thing (TM) without the pesky big AAA publisher holding them down, and then the game they actually make has an awesome trailer but then the game itself plays about as well as CYN makes sense.

I'd consider following this shit for the lols if they get nZo or Shane McMahon. Maybe.

So what you're saying is CYN is wrestling's Balan Wonderworld. That all really adds up, to be honest.

Mighty no. 9 would have been a more enjoyable experience if its main character also spoke like the lead character of Cancel Culture: The Musical

This is what that RAW underground should have been, except not serious

I'm going to embed the above post to make sure everyone sees how dire these straights are. This further enforces that it's not parody.

Yeah, EC3 was absolutely done dirty... everyone has always mentioned that mic work was his best quality and then they refused to let him speak? I don't know if I'd even say Braun got too much of a raw end of the deal as he was still massively over as the monsterous mountain of a man... them kicking him to the curb cause he was too expensive is a bullshit move since they thought they could throw Azeez or Omos out there and have the same response. and yeah, for Sandow the two things you can say for him from his TNA run are... 1. WWE scripting all his promos was probably a good thing and 2. The WWE were right to veto the terrible Liberace gimmick... they weren't right to ignore that he was over and job him out... or to basically give the Miz vs. Mizdow stuff no pay off...

This thing's roster is coming off like some kind of wrestling equivalent of the Legion of Doom (not the Road Warriors, shut up). I half expect their first big signing to be Black Manta.

Does the MyPillow guy show up at any point? Seems like his kinda party. Yeah this is who his match is against Video package set to something from the 04 Punisher soundtrack (perhaps IF U WANNA STEP UP (STEP UP) U GET KNOCKED DOWN) building up to Papa John vs. EC3 at CYN: Judgment Day
