EC3 Shares Story About Dark Match With Brodie Lee And Drake Maverick That Got All Three In Trouble

Posted: May 27th 2021 By: Cassidy Haynes - Bodyslam.net

Former WWE Superstar EC3 was released from the company on April 15th, 2020, and has since signed with Ring of Honor.

EC3 recently spoke with Wrestling Inc, during the interview he talked about his time with WWE. EC3 shared an interesting story about working a dark match with Drake Maverick against Brodie Lee, known at the time as Luke Harper, who was just returning from injury, that ultimately landed all three of them in trouble.

“I thought about writing about it, but I mean, in a brief sense, Drake and I worked hard to pitch ourselves as a unit because we have undeniable chemistry. We shot our own vignettes and stuff like that, and we were pitching them and everyone loved them, but they weren’t going anywhere. Then after WrestleMania, I think we asked to do the dark match, and Brodie, who was coming back from whatever he was coming back from the time, who also had a great run there but still never properly utilized, never able to control his narrative and be who he should be.”

“He just wanted to wrestle, so his son can see him wrestle because it was after WrestleMania. He just wanted to do a match, so his son can see him wrestle. So then they paired us together in this match, so it’s kind of emotional, and then, we did everything we were told. I thought we knocked it out of the park. Somebody didn’t like something. Somebody probably said, ‘I didn’t tell him to do that.’ They told us to do that.”

“Whatever, that’s the business, but Jon was a great man, very fortunate to have worked with him in that sense. I always hold on to that memory. When I got fired, he actually texted me. He said, ‘Hey man, remember when they told us to do all this stuff, and you and Drake did really good at your job and then we all got in trouble?’ And I said, ‘Yep.’ He’s like, ‘Well, hopefully see you around,’ and I did not get to see him since. That’s unfortunate, but that’s the story.”
