When some wrestlers get released from WWE they see it as the death of their career. Lucky for us fans EC3 is not one of those wrestlers. He recently spoke to the Chad Dukes Wrestling Show and revealed that getting released made him look at that “Stone Cold mentality” and it motivated him.
“I always look at that Stone Cold mentality. Steve Austin, Stunning Steve over in WCW was always a good hand, but he just never breaks through, whether it was on him or was on to someone not seeing it in him. He kind of had a rough deal on his exit. Wasn’t he fired via FedEx or something just ridiculous like that while he was injured? Kind of a similar mindset that I had and experienced. You take that motivation, even though he was a guy that’s probably incredibly motivated as it was, much like I was, to come out there and be like, ‘you know what, the only thing left to do is shove it up their ass and show you what I can do.’”
