Ethan Carter III recently appeared on Busted Open
Radio, here are
the highlights…
On his upcoming match with Bully Ray & how
important Slammiversary is to TNA: “This is pretty important. This is
12 years the company’s been around. Granted I’ve only been here 9 months, but I
intend to be here for the next 400 years. They’re gonna have to freeze me like
Walt Disney. This is a huge moment. I’ve had a lot of opportunity to go into the
ring with TNA legends. This match with Bully Ray: He’s 100%, I’m 100%. This is a
grudge match, and it’s in Texas. I wouldn’t be surprised to have this match have
a Texas stipulation added to it. It’s gonna be a match, and it’s gonna be in
Texas, and Bully wants to put me to death. This is gonna be a fight. This is
gonna be a match I leave it all out there. This is my opportunity to show the
world what I got.”
On how big this match is versus how big his
match with Sting was: “I think with Sting that was, well, it’s Sting!
No matter what stage of his career he’s at, it’s still Sting, and that’s epic. I
think what’s gonna separate this match with Bully vs. Sting is it’s gonna be on
PPV. It’s gonna be one on one. We’re gonna go the distance and we’re gonna have
a lot of time to tell a story in the ring. A lot of times with TV tapings you
don’t have enough time to get to where you want. On PPV you have 3 hours
dedicated to just wrestling.”
On upcoming TNA shows in New
York’s Manhattan Center & New York fans: “Oh man. I can’t wait.
I’ve been a wrestling fan since I first saw it. I love New York fans. They
always say what’s on their minds. They’re gonna have some creative things they
want to say to the Carter family and it’s gonna be exciting. I don’t know what
chants I’m gonna get, but I’d love to get a ‘E-C-Fn-3′ chants, I’d be happy. I’m
a fan, so how bout this? ‘Ethan Carter the turd’. If you wanna bring it back to
the old ECW, ‘you suck *&^%’ or whatever, have it it. Whatever it is good or
bad I’ll take it.”
Bully Ray jumps on the phone!: “You
know something, kid? You better hope you fight better than you talk on the
radio. Shut your mouth. I got a table for you and I got a table for your piece
of crap aunt. You and your family have been screwing me, but most of all you
people have been screwing the wrestling fans over for months. Your aunt pulling
me off of House Of Hardcore just to send me out to California to do something
for Spike TV screwed everybody over. I can’t wait to get my hands on you in
Dallas. I’m gonna chop you until you bleed. I’m gonna take a cheese grater and
wrap it across your face. I’m gonna do things to your pretty little body and
pretty little face that you couldn’t imagine in your worst
nightmare.”
After Bully hangs up, EC3 responds to
Bully: “First off on behalf of the entire Carter family I’d just like
to thank you for going out to California. I didn’t even get to mention I
apologize he didn’t get to spend Friday night playing with his friends and
instead doing work. The threats have been made countless times to my aunt.
Threats have been made to do physical harm to my temple of a body. We’re gonna
just have to play the game this Sunday, and what does a cheese grater have to do
with professional wrestling?”
After being invited to jump Bully
Ray’s interview next Wednesday: “Well I just might. I’ll have a good
2-3 day bender after my victory at Slammiversary. I will call in and discuss
with Bully Ray about the match and how the cheese grater was used, how he didn’t
put Aunt Dixie through a table, how he didn’t defeat me, and the crowning
achievement of Ethan Carters wrestling career. Ha! And he says I’m not good on
the radio? What a jokester!”
