Ethan Carter III, better known to wrestling fans as EC3, will headline the NWA 75th Anniversary Show on Sunday, August 27th, with a highly anticipated Bullrope match. But it's not so much the kind of match that's most important, but rather his opponent, as he'll be facing World Heavyweight Champion Tyrus, with whom his professional wrestling story is tightly connected as both friends and foes.
In the lead-up to his main event match of the two-night supershow from the historic Chase Park Plaza in St. Louis, Missouri, I chatted with EC3 in an intense conversation that touched upon everything from the former NWA National Heavyweight Champion’s decision to relinquish his title for a shot at the big belt to what his future holds, win or lose come Sunday. One topic that understandably came up multiple times was his personal history with fellow NXT and Impact Wrestling vet Tyrus, who’s agreed to retire if he drops his championship.
