EC3 Back in WWE Eventually?

[Crappler El 0 M]

They'd take him back if he breaks out and starts generating a lot of buzz and starts being recognized as an elite performer outside of WWE. I don't think he fits this bill yet.

As I said in the other thread about EC3 a few weeks ago, there's a certain... puffiness that you tend to get almost exclusively with roid users that you don't really see with people training naturally. The "10 lbs of muscle in an 8 lb sausage casing" from a few posts up is pretty spot on.

That and ridiculous amounts of acne breakouts from someone in their 30s that also happens to have a lot of muscle mass is damn near pathognomonic for steroid use.

Nobody's proving anything, but I still argue that Ethan Carter is one of the very rare cases where "Just LOOK AT HIM" is a valid defense.

Those who watch Impact on a regular basis know that EC3 is on some the best juice this side of Muscle Beach or TNA needs to use Stridex pads to clean the ring mats. Way too many times he had bance outbreaks or pimples on his chest. Plus he has that 10 lbs of muscle stuffed in a 8 lbs sausage casing look. I guess y'all probably think Brian Cage got his mass all natural also.

All natural brother

Nothing but horse meat and kelp shakes like Overeem.

So do TNA publicly state that they don't test for steroids?

(I'm not arguing here, genuine question).

[froggyfrog]

He'll get a look for sure once TNA inevitably goes out of business. He really raised his profile since leaving

Idk about this, he does have a lot of supporters in the IWC and in the business (f.e.old FCW/NXT pal Rollins), so I believe there is a buzz around him, not too big, but he's getting his props no doubt

Randy Orton's "water weight" of his younger years.

It is something where we don't know for certain, and "just look at him" doesn't always work (such as with Funaki!)

But there's a real lot of circumstantial suspicion here.

And, worse, he really really doesn't need to be so bulked up either. It's not an aid to his ring work and his body looked fine in the WWE anyway.

Well he wouldn't be EC3...

since that gimmick sorta requires Dixie Carter to make any sense... and hell no to giving Dixie a job

VM3? Trouble Trouble Trouble

Males actually reach peak strength and mass around early mid to late mid 30's. If you watch powerlifters make personal and world records or world strongest man competitions, most of them are 34-41 years old. Hell if you watch hockey, the biggest defensemen and enforcers and power forwards reach peak mass and strength around early to late 30's. Hell even body building competitions the average winner age is somewhere around 33 with many Mr. Olympians winning in late 30's and some in their 40's. It's just harder to recover from an injury when you get older or make newbie gains and cut fat when you're older if you start working out or keep trimmed. But there is a reason why it's called freaky old man strength for a reason.

With that being said I'm sure he's on roids.

I think he's juiced but I remember the "just look at him!" arguments being used about Cena at a point in time and he was shown to be some intense workout schedule that got him bulked up (which I think EC3 shares) so you never know.

[ilggant]

I think it's a given that he'll end up being back at some point, especially after the importance he was given by TNA.

Just not now. This is definitely not the era to (re)debut in if you're not one of the world's best.

[Deleted]

If he does, he'll come in as Vince's cousin's son, Dillweed McMahon, who is a white trash hillbilly.

Because WWE.

[sonofblaine]

I'd love it. Bring him and Spud in (the only things I really liked the couple of months I watched TNA). Let Fandango be creepy Johnny Curtis again and let them work together.

Yeah there's no massive difference. A haircut and baby oil works wonders. Wasn't he one of Cena's workout buddies too? He has much more time off now so it's easier to get his workouts in than it was on the road with WWE.

He MIGHT be on roids but there's no evidence either way.

That picture on the left is from like late 2013/early 2014 though. 



now he's big as a house

[benstudd]

Should have used him when they had him. I don't see TNA ever letting him go. It's like Austin when he was Stone Cold, I don't think he ever would have accepted going back to WCW with any amount of money.

Yeah. He's probably legit salty that WWE thought he was shit, and he's willing to succeed anywhere but there just to prove them wrong.

Someone do a side by side comparison of his nutsack from WWE to TNA
