Retro Red Posted January 28, 2018 Posted January 28, 2018 The graphic said EC 3, but the youtube interview he did on WWE's channel afterwards listed him as EC3. Until he debuts on a taping we don't actually know if he'll use the name going forward anyway.
dopper Posted January 28, 2018 Posted January 28, 2018 I think you are all reading way to much into what happened last night. Here's how Asuka was first announced in the crowd at a Takeover event. KENTA was shown on the Titantron when Hideo Itami debuted, Prince Devitt/Finn Balor was the same. Possibly Uhaa Nation/Apollo Crews also. They might not call him EC3.
Snitsky's back acne Posted January 28, 2018 Posted January 28, 2018 Even if they did call him Ethan carter III, the name Carter means nothing to the WWE audience. He could reference he has a rich aunt and be the rich arrogant arsehole character without needing a name change but, yeah, likely they will change it.
Paid Members Supremo Posted January 28, 2018 Paid Members Posted January 28, 2018 That main event was incredible. Definitely an early candidate for match of the year. Gargano is the best babyface in the business. It’s impossible not to root for him. I haven’t cared about the result of a match that much in years. Some of those near falls were a thing of beauty. Velveteen Dream continues to be the most exciting prospect on the roster. The way he nails all the small details is fantastic for someone so green. Fuck Ohno though. This need to be a wake up call for the fat fuck. It’s all well and good relying on your ability, but when your dog shit physique is negatively affecting your matches it’s time to stop eating the donuts. Both blown spots in their match were because he’s a fat wreck. Imagine having the gym facilities and nutritionists at his disposal, but still looking like that. It’s inexcusable. I’m warming to the Undisputed Era, but it still feels like they’re missing something. I can’t figure out what it is though. There’s just something really phoney about them, O'Reilly in particular. Overal, another good show. It’s going to suck when the day comes for Gargano to have shit, unimportant matches on 205 Live.
TildeGuy~! Posted January 28, 2018 Posted January 28, 2018 Ohno’s offence is just elbows and the occasional big boot. Thats 2 takeovers in a row now where all he’s done is Elbows, Get rid

WWE send out cease and desists the second one of their gimmicks is being infringed upon, even gimmicks they didn’t even create. But here they are, benefitting from a TNA/Impact creation. Key difference is WWE know what they are doing, and TNA have let wrestler’s contract expire without noticing. If TNA don’t own the rights to the name EC3 that’s their own fault. Besides, TNA have relied pretty heavily on WWE stars over the years
Sichadelic Posted January 28, 2018 Posted January 28, 2018 What a great show. Really good warm up for tonight.

Paid Members BomberPat Posted January 28, 2018 Paid Members Posted January 28, 2018 The thing that annoys me most about Ohno's offence being all elbows and strikes is that they call him a Knock-Out Artist. When all of his offence is striking, and he's never once won a match by knock-out using any of those strikes, by what measure is he a "Knock-Out Artist"?. See also, "submission specialist Kyle O'Reilly". Main event was stellar, easy candidate for Match of the Year, beautiful finishing stretch. Didn't think much of the rest of the show, but wasn't bad by any means.
Philjax Posted January 28, 2018 Posted January 28, 2018 I think this went pretty much how I expected it to. One really good but far too long match and one more incredible performance. The rest was just average to expected. Doesn't look like Ciampa is quite ready to go yet. I don't think I agree with EC3 going to NXT. I hope this is a swerve because he's so main roster ready it's untrue and Smackdown is crying out for him. Wins Rumble haha!
UK Kat Von D Posted January 28, 2018 Posted January 28, 2018 Unless they have a name, gimmick and music already set in stone he isn’t main roster ready. NXT is its own brand that need star power as well. If they are doing some call ups soon they might need him down there for a while
Philjax Posted January 28, 2018 Posted January 28, 2018 I just don't want a re-tread of the Bobby Roode gimmick already and that's essentially what he is.
Paid Members ColinBollocks Posted January 28, 2018 Paid Members Posted January 28, 2018 I don't think Ohno is a bad worker at all (although it was a bit of an off night, last night), but I find the cellulite on his legs to be unbelievably distracting. He could be caving a skull in, but I'm wincing at his legs like John McCririck just dropped his trousers, bent over and opened his cheeks. Shorts or tights, please.

Paid Members Supremo Posted January 28, 2018 Paid Members Posted January 28, 2018 Johnny Gargano’s, “my brain’s fucked, lads,” selling is almost too good. It makes me uncomfortable to watch sometimes.
