Pro-wrestling superstar EC3 released a cryptic statement on his Twitter account earlier today addressing recent rival Moose, who EC3 battled at Bound For Glory in a cinematic showdown. The former world champion says that his return to IMPACT in 2020 was done so he could push Moose to find his true potential, and reminds him of the importance of controlling his own narrative ahead of tonight’s Hard To Kill pay per view.
In 2020 I returned to @impactwrestling for two reasons:
• To destroy a past that I’d forever be linked to.
As long as I existed, no matter the form, the #toponepercent would haunt me unless I left it for dead.
Sacrificed for a higher purpose.
• To find someone with potential to carry a lost aspect of this industry forward.
An athlete, a man, an entity, someone powerful, terrifying. Someone LEGITIMATE. One worth my sacrifice. The man I chose was @TheMooseNation All the tools. All the promise. Lost on instincts. No guidance. I returned to push him. To punish him. To torture him. To berate him. To inspire him. To guide him. To teach him. In a company where management has now become infatuated with the #serotonin release of using someone else’s “star” Moose once again has found himself unwanted. Abandoned. This makes him very dangerous. Now, as fate intervened (as it often does) Moose has found himself in the #HardToKill main event. I have done everything I can to push him in body, mind, and spirit. But now the choice is his. Only Moose can stand for himself. Fight for himself Only Moose can stand for himself. Fight for himself. Become who he is supposed to be. @TheMooseNation You #ControlYourNarrative. #FreeEC3
