I know everyone is waiting to hear my response to my release from WWE but after 16 years I’m going to need a little more than a few hours to really digest all my thoughts and emotions. For now, thank you all for all of your kind words and support during this time.

Refusing to accept that as a reality, ec3 has become dedicated to a new cause.
Achieving self-actualization.
Finding PURPOSE.
Destroying a moniker he felt never had an opportunity to live up to its potential, “The Top 1 Percent,”— essential character III (@therealec3) April 15, 2020
Purified by the pain of regret and driven by a primal purpose, ec3 finds fuel in his repressed masculinity.
ec3 becomes the manifestation of a violent nihilism.— essential character III (@therealec3) April 15, 2020
With wit, machismo, and blatant rage ec3 lashes out against all things relevant to the wrestling world.
Social Media, advertising, mass consumerism, celebrity, the “smiles on people’s faces” and most glaring, the corporate culture.

Some in the WWE Universe (the wrestling world) would find empathy for ec3. Knowing how it feels to be “unwanted” or “cast aside” the audience would find ec3’s opposition to the modern product and the corporate culture alluring.

Regardless of perception, after a real and tangible story of loss, regret, and sacrifice ec3 embraces and important question
“Would you rather be the Universe’s enemy or nothing at all?”#FREEec3— essential character III (@therealec3) April 15, 2020

A true soldier of our business. His body of work is unmatched and in my opinion, he's the greatest to ever wear the stripes. Thank you for everything Mike. Love you brother 🙏#GOAT pic.twitter.com/6a9UgkFy2v

Also, not the time for “hot takes” or smartass comments.
My “block button” finger is itchy today. I’m not in the mood.

Today is a tough day for all of us in and who love this business.
When this hardship is over, I hope we’re all reunited working together to make some magic in front of the fans who make it all worthwhile.
