A. No one watches Main Event. B. Apollo was the hometown guy so it was a rare hometown win in WWE. C. No one will remember this in a week. Shut your pie hole lol

i mean EC3 is not good at anything really, not sure why he’s even on the roster.

He was booked so overwhelmingly strong in TNA, kicking out of everyone's finishers multiple times, beating legends like Sting and Angle, etc. It made some people think he was better than he really is. EC3 goes into my category of "He's the kind of guy you push when that's what you've got to push."

It's Main Event. The only person it matters to me is for my records and I don't even watch it. I just see the order of it and that's it. So, does it really matter if no one is going to see it any way?

After reading this thread I wonder if Im the only EC3 fan.
Not sure why they called him up. I personally want him and Miz to form faction. (I used to create a faction of EC3, Miz and Portia Perez on TEW)

Crews has a much bigger upside I... Really don't see it. Apollo's better in the ring certainly but at least EC3's, like, demonstrated the existence of a personality and the ability to make people care that he exists.

Aside from one brief period in TNA when the stars aligned, he's done nothing memorable or impressive in or out of the ring. Crews can at least put a spotfest on.

You really need more teams/stables with a roster so bloated. Then, crazy thought, start caring about the tag division and actually feature them.
I can think of a few organic pairings off the top of my head:
EC3 and Jinder Mahal: Rich pricks. Let them look amazing in suits and flaunt their wealth.
Ricochet and Apollo: Two dudes who can do things in the ring so f***ing ridiculous that their subpar mic skills wouldn't really matter. Think The Eliminators, but with 50 times more flips.
Mojo, Roode, Jinder and Gable as a midcard Varsity Club type stable. Singh brothers as towel managers!
Slater, Rhyno, and that Buge guy (I hate him so much, but it'd work) as the new 3MB.
Eric Young, Alexander Wolfe, and Killian Dain as a group of unhinged anarchists. Wait what?

I have Ted DiBiase managing him in my Universe right now. That's all I have to add at the moment.

Just let him and Stephanie McMahon have an affair. Triple H vs EC3 at Summerslam!
Let him be a douche WWE, he's begging you.

EC3 goes into my category of "He's the kind of guy you push when that's what you've got to push." It's not that he come off as better cause the way he was pushed, he was never a great wrestler to begin with. That was always his character that made him over. The guy has personality coming out of his ears and he is pretty good at promos, he delivered nice ones in TNA. He is a natural at that element of wrestling. And you push someone like that. It's television, you need personalities, esp. as far as generating interest in storylines. It cannot be "look i'm a good wrestler, you're a good wrestler, let's fight for the title, bro". In many ways EC3 is made for the WWE but they have him come and don't say a word. It's obvious to me that this hiring was a rib. After that the WWE wonder why we want competition. Well it's because of stuff like this, of decades of screwing with wrestlers' careers. Just because they can.

They should've never even brought him up to begin with. A complete waste of time. Even though Main Event doesn't mean f*** all... when you're losing to the likes of Apollo Crews on that show, especially with the spotlight firmly on the new NXT call-ups, that is cause for concern if you're a fan of EC3.

Even just NJPW style loose stables would be a great thing to give some purpose and direction the the lower card. No reason Titus Worldwide shouldn't have stuck around just with loose affiliated guys. Lio Rush could manage more than Bobby Lashley.

Apollo needs some kind of victory for his supposed highlight reel.

Crews lacks personality but at least he's still pretty fun to watch in ring so I'm glad he beat this jabroni
