Former WWE Star and current ROH Star EC3 recently appeared on the Wrestling Inc. Daily podcast, where he talked about this Saturday night's Free The Narrative 2: The Monster In Us All Event and how there isn't really a main event and that this isn't really a show, but an experience.
EC3 said:
“It’s not really a main event.” “The Narrative doesn’t have main events. This is not a wrestling show, per se. This is an experience. It is the final fight on the Free The Narrative feature, for sure, but by no means is it a wrestling match, by no means is there a paid audience in an arena or a stadium, by no means is there a timekeeper or security, by no means is there any authority in the ring. There’s no referee. This is a fight, and the fight isn’t just between myself and Adam Scherr. The fight is between Adam Scherr and the monster within him.”
EC3 then talked about his opponent for this coming Saturday's event fellow former WWE Superstar Braun Strowman (Adam Scherr) and how Strowman is going through an awakening right now as he lost everything that has meant something to him like his job and his friends as well as his family and what Adam must do to eventually get past it and to move on with his life is to kill Braun Strowman and the monster.
EC3 said:
“Whether friend or foe, in The Narrative, you fight because again, the fight isn’t against an opponent in the ring. The fight is against the person inside you, and Adam Scherr is going through an awakening right now.” “He’s lost everything that has meant something to him. He’s not only lost his cushy job as being a star in a corporate wrestling world, but he’s also lost friends.”
“He’s lost family along the way, and the only person that’s accountable for that is himself. So in Free The Narrative: The Monster In Us All, Adam Scherr is going to have to confront him himself, the creation that he’s become. He’s not his own man. He was created. He was created in a sports entertainment lab by a mad scientist. He’s Victor Frankenstein’s monster, and to eventually get past that, to move forward with his life and his career, he has to kill what’s been created. He has to kill Braun Strowman. He has to kill the monster. I’m just happy to assist.”
EC3 then talked about how WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns is the top star in wrestling as well as the chosen talent in all of WWE and how Strowman looked up to Reigns, but it wasn’t reciprocated.
EC3 said:
“By no stretch of the imagination, the chosen son is Roman, the top star in wrestling and rightfully so.” “He’s extremely talented, has all the tools, all the intangibles and the work ethic to be that top star, and I know Adam very well and I know that he looked up to his creator as a father figure, but I also know that the father figure probably looked at him as the the step son more so than the actual son, so to speak. So to light a fire under his ass, I kind of hit him where it would the most, and that’s the emotional aspects. He’s a monster, yes, but he has emotions. He seeks acceptance. He seeks the love of others, and perhaps, it wasn’t reciprocated on the end of the person that he looked up to so much, his father figure.”
