Top TNA star Ethan Carter III rushed the ring at tonight’s Evolve 61 IPPV event and, along with Drew Galloway, attacked Johnny Gargano ending the show’s main event. EC3 then cut a scathing promo on NXT, Triple H, independent wrestlers and more.

Featured below is a full transcript of the promo, edited for clarity.

“[Galloway] became a world champion on his own. I became a world champion on my own. So the way I look at it, you know who kinda blew it? The 203. Stamford, CT. Up north. The ‘King of Kings’, that’s who blew it.”

EC3 and Galloway then fight off multiple referees and wrestlers trying to interfere, as EC3 continues his shoot, now addressing the talent that tried to chase him off.

“No, no, I get it. I get it guys, you wanna make the next step. You want to be good soldiers. But take it from us – you know what they do to good soldiers? They put them on the front line and make them take the bullet.”

EC3 then emulates urinating on the Evolve turnbuckle and dropping an “EC2” on the canvas.

“You wanna take that next step? You wanna get to the show everybody loves? ‘Oh we have great matches, compelling characters, great storylines, NXT, NXT, yay! You know what makes a star? Surviving. Try surviving obstacle courses. Getting slimmed. Wheelbarrow races. Six-minute TV matches where you can’t do any of your cool moves. And Redemption Points! Here we stand, a true success story of independence. Independence is not [ ] to the machine; independence is succeeding despite it.”

Carter was of course referring to his time in WWE, where he actual competed in the original NXT concept when the program was a reality competition. Drew Gulak then rushes the ring and is met with the same fate as the others before him.

“Nice boots Gulak. Do you know what this is? This is a microphone. This is how you create box office. This is how you put asses in seats. No flips and false-finishes. This man (points to Galloway) was ‘chosen’ as a reason. If I can be humble for a second – I have been endorsed by the best, only to be destroyed by the worst. So I’m gonna shoot with you real fast, buddy. By endorsed I mean Hall of Famers, world champions, that kind of thing. But when it comes to being destroyed, I can only think of one obese sociopath who’s best known for being [ ]. So hey Bill, guess what – I won!”

At this point, TJ Perkins rushes the ring and is also taken out by both men, finished off with a powerbomb by Galloway. Carter continues…

“I’m not finished! We are the last bastion of the independents here. We are two men – we weren’t failed football projects. We weren’t models. We weren’t body builders pulled out of a gym. We sure as hell weren’t anyone’s kids! We are two men who love this industry, who breath this industry. To us this isn’t a game – this is our god damn lives.”

It was at this point that Ethan Page rushed the ring with a steel chair and the Evolve talent was all able to run off the invading TNA force. The two sides had a staredown and traded promos for a bit before EC3 and Galloway ended up leaving.

This entire angle was to set up a tag team match featuring Gargano and TJP taking on EC3 and Galloway at the next Evolve show on June 10th.

we weren’t failed football projects (TNA had Pacman Jones, Tito Ortiz and other big sports names to gain interest).

We weren’t models (Nope. But they had Jersey Shore personel involved and Tracy Brooks posing in Playboy).

We weren’t body builders pulled out of a gym (Jersey Shore again or Rob Terry-ble).

We sure as hell weren’t anyone’s kids (True. They got recruited because they were free agents with some sort of WWE fame)!

We are two men who love this industry, who breath this industry. To us this isn’t a game – this is our god damn lives.”

Probably true. But bashing WWE while representing TNA makes that statement very hollow
 
Meh. Its in the delivery. I need to hear it. Reading it might not do it justice.

I do think its stupid to play heel in one promotion while being a face in another. I don't understand that about the indies.
 
WWE has moved most of Ryback’s merchandise to the “sale” section on WWEShop.com. We reported last week that Ryback left RAW after a contract dispute with the company.

It’s looking more and more unlikely that a deal between both sides will be reached
 


Ryback merchandise has been discounted, which is being taken to mean he could be released soon. It's entirely possible, however, WWE simply waits for his contract to run out.

While there have been plenty of rumors surrounding Finn Balor getting called up to the main roster, apparently the date to look out for is the May 23 episode of Raw.

To the surprise of no one, Vince McMahon is apparently high on Big Cass.

 
That's dope that Vince is feeling Cass nh but he needs to be kept as far away as possible from him as far as creative goes. Its no secret that Cass still needs some work and im hoping Him and Enzo will be a long running tag team. They need to let them get a few tag title reigns and establish themselves as one of the new tag teams of this new era before they pull the trigger and try to give him a singles push.
