EC3 Admits He Nearly Quit Wrestling After WWE Release Before Turning Career Around

TLDR

EC3 revealed on the Crazy Train Podcast that he nearly quit wrestling after being released from WWE in 2013, following four years in developmental, an injury, and company restructuring of the developmental system. He admitted to considering finishing school and living a "normal life," but advice from trainer Dr. Tom Prichard to "never take yourself out the game" changed his mindset and motivated him to prove WWE wrong. This turning point ultimately fueled his later success in TNA and helped him continue his wrestling career.
