EC3 Talks His Most Memorable Opponent, Offers His Thoughts on the TNA Knockouts Division, The Current Success of NXT and More

December 5, 2015

ec3 TNA Star Ethan Carter III recently spoke with Robert Krupar from ArtofWrestling.com and below are some interview highlights:

On his most memorable opponent:

EC3: I’ve been fortunate to share the ring with great wrestlers of legendary status, and those that will fill their boots in the future. It wouldn’t be fair to list names without feeling as though I missed someone, but I can say that my favorite opponent has been Kurt Angle. Kurt was one of the reasons I fell in love with wrestling, and one the reason I decided to pursue it as a career.

On the current state of women’s wrestling and the TNA Knockouts division:

EC3: I’m very much a fan of women’s wrestling and the effort our knockouts and women throughout wrestling have put forth in changing it’s previous perception. They are very skilled athletes who deserve recognition for that fact. As far as my favorite, I don’t play favorites (Gail Kim).

On the current success of WWE NXT:

EC3: It’s far different from the incarnation I was on and that is obviously for the better. They have a very good show and I’m happy to see the success of the people who are there.
