EC3 Announces His Time With The NWA Has Come To An End
EC3 announced that his time with the National Wrestling Alliance is over.
EC3 is a former NWA Worlds Heavyweight Champion, holding the title for 370 days.
MY TIME WITH THE NATIONAL WRESTLING
ALLIANCE HAS COME TO AN END. I’m grateful for the opportunities I was given
and the people
I shared the work with.
The Top 1% was never a “gimmick.”
It is a standard.
Future actions will reflect that.

LEGACY BECOMING IS SELF-OVERCOMING… MAN THE #overMAN YEAR AS NWA WORLDS
CHAMPION MATTERED TO ME
Over 80 defenses, across four continents.
Initiating collaborations, building momentum, opening doors.
Work done. Responsibility carried. Asses kicked.
THERE WERE MOMENTS I’M ESPECIALLY PROUD OF:
SAMHAIN, in my home base of Cleveland, Ohio against Latimer.
The ULTIMATE MATCH or DEATH against Cardona.
Defending the championship in my first (and only) match against Jax Dane.
And yes, I retired Tyrus. You’re welcome.
That run came with wear.
It came with cost.
It came with people showing up.
Being champion isn’t just about
“holding gold” and performing. It’s about carrying weight when no one’s
watching.
I treated the NWA Worlds Heavyweight Championship with respect; for its history, its legacy,
and what it’s meant to represent.
LEGACY REQUIRES A STANDARD.
I’M PROUD OF THE WORK

PROOF ALONGSIDE PERFORMING, I HELPED ESTABLISH
EXODUS PRO AS THE NA’S FIRST TERRITORY. BUILT ON STANDARDS, SELF-DIRECTED CREATIVITY,
AND LEGITIMATE TALENT DEVELOPMENT. Multiple wrestlers who came through our system
went on to appear on the NWA main roster.
That wasn’t by accident.
That was culture producing results.
I’m proud of them. They know. Leadership in wrestling is rarely discussed,
and even rarer to see practiced. It means taking the calls,
answering the questions, and holding space. Being available in ways that never
show up on a card or a poster.
It isn’t something you’re asked to do. It’s something you step into
when the role demands it. That’s how you show
respect for the work.
Building the future matters to me.
That work continues.
