EC3 believes that WWE takes concussions very seriously but made an exception when it came to a time that EC3 himself suffered a concussion.
On a recent edition of the “WrestleBinge” podcast, EC3 addressed WWE’s handling of concussions and his own personal experience. He said,
“I will say to WWE’s credit, at the apex of the business they are, they take concussions very seriously, and they have the impact tests, and you have to go through tests and check with doctors, and even if you were cleared and you didn’t feel right, they’ll never rush you back.
“Except that one time they called me up with a concussion once, but that’s a different story. Maybe it’s just the aspect of competition vs intense performance… If there was anybody who had any issues in WWE, they would hold you out and not make you go out there like the days of the past.
“They’re very conscious of concussions. But there’s no scheduled time off. You could be getting kicked countless times and not notice it until the big one happens. We understand that going into it, though.”
EC3 was among those released on April 15, 2020. He is currently in his first reign as NWA Worlds Heavyweight Champion after defeating fellow WWE alum Tyrus last year.
