Thought this deserved its own thread. EC3 and Adam Scherr are launching a new wrestling company.

https://wrestlingnews.co/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/IMG_9833-2-1024x1024.jpeg



“Now that I have your attention, here’s the truth.” – ec3⁣⁣

The “Control Your Narrative” concept has manifested itself from an idea, to a movement, to a live touring/televised wrestling company.⁣⁣

“We, collectively as wrestlers, can no longer wait. We can not wait on companies that answer only to shareholders. Companies where billionaires collect talent as “toys.” Companies that fire their entire roster for the mistakes their office made. Companies that are complacent in presentation. ⁣⁣

To create true change, you have to be bold. You have to bet on yourself. With CYN, talent bet on themselves.” -ec3⁣⁣

What has started as a self produced concept focused on character development/wrestling through a “cinematic lens,” CYN content was created by ec3 and his partner Jedediah Koszewski in April of 2020. ⁣⁣

“The world was changing and everyone felt fear and anxiety. The best therapy is to create.” – Koszewski⁣⁣

“The talent that has reached out, wanting to create with us has been humbling. It’s an honor to help tell their story.”⁣⁣

One of these is former #BraunStrowman, Adam Scherr.⁣⁣

“I was so impressed with what CYN was creating that I told ec3 and JC how much it inspired. How I would like to create with them one day.⁣⁣

The next day I was released. Things happen for a reason.⁣

This is what’s next.” – Scherr⁣⁣

All talent featured in CYN asked to be a part of the project.

On 3/31 CYN: Dallas, debut of Killer Kross takes place.⁣⁣

“If you want to Control Your Narrative, all you have to do is knock.” – ec3⁣⁣

At CYN there is no corporate hierarchy. There are no investors wanting to use the sport just to profit. There are no contracts, agendas. There is only passion to create.⁣⁣

“This company will be bigger than one person. I promise my undying effort to create a platform for wrestlers to do what they love and freedom they crave. For fans to have an unforgettable LIVE experience with an engaging TV presentation. ⁣⁣

CYN is my purpose.” – ec3⁣⁣

https://wrestlingheadlines.com/freddie-prinze-jr-wants-to-launch-a-wrestling-company-under-the-screen-actors-guild-union-so-his-talent-can-have-insurance/

On the latest edition of his Wrestling With Freddie podcast actor and former WWE writer Freddie Prinze Jr. speaks on his desire to launch his own wrestling promotion, which Prinze would run through the Screen Actors Guild so his talent could be covered under the union’s insurance. Check out his full thoughts on the subject below.

How wrestling has always been a passion of his:

“Wrestling has always been a passion of mine and I’ve always tried to find opportunities throughout my career to try and bring wrestling to mainstream Hollywood. It has always been like running into a brick wall. The disdain that this business has for it, I get it, but I don’t understand it. I get everyone has their taste, but we can talk about documented things like before the CW was the CW it was known as the WB. They had an executive there named Jamie Kellner, who I knew because he was the main executive on a little show called Buffy the Vampire Slayer. He also happens to be the executive that hated professional wrestling when he went to TNT, and basically got rid of it. His perspective on the business was very, just sort of universally accepted than anyone else’s that I’ve seen, at least in a position of power.”

How he’s recommended wrestlers for TV roles because TV contracts are better than WWE contracts:


“So a lot of times when I’ve even mentioned wrestlers for ‘Hey, you need to meet wrestler X, Y, or Z just for a general casting meeting because they can really act and here’s some clips.’ I’ve done this for wrestlers in the past. I’ve literally gotten hit back with ‘Yeah, but they work for WWE.’ I’m like, ‘So what? They’ll quit.’ A TV contract is better than a WWE contract, I assure you, and SAG is better insurance than having to go in there with your own.”

How he’s tried to pitch networks his own wrestling show:

“I tried to pitch two wrestling shows last year to friendly faces only, no strangers. One of them I pitched to three networks, and the other one I pitched to four. Again, friendly faces and people that I’ve known over a decade, who I said ‘Listen, I know you guys aren’t necessarily looking for this, but here’s something different. One was sort of around the world of women’s wrestling, and one was in the world of comedy wrestling, or more theatrical wrestling. So both times in all seven rooms, four for one, three for the other, every single question was, ‘How do we sell this?’ I’m like, ‘Like any other show. What are you talking about?’ They said, ‘You know people know it’s fake?’ I said, ‘Yeah, but people know that Green Arrow is fake, that no one can shoot an arrow that nice in real life. Like, what are we talking about here?’ and everything was always about that.”

What he would want his wrestling show to be:


“Then a lot of times they talked about the level of acting, the quality of acting, or the lack thereof that they found. That was an argument that I wasn’t always able to match, because not every great wrestler is great on the mic because they don’t have to be. You’re not there to watch acting and a match. You’re there to watch wrestling. If someone can talk, you want to get them either fired up with you or fired up against you. That’s a wrestling show. I know it’s evolved and changed over the years, but in the heart of a wrestling show, that’s what it is. So not everyone has to talk. By the way, not every actor on every network is a great actor, okay. I look at the movies I did when I first started compared to when I stopped. My work got a lot better near the end than it was at the beginning. So maybe that’s where their argument falls flat, but it’s their perspective, so it’s not going to change with me just saying, ‘No, you’re wrong, and here’s why.’ Nobody’s trying to hear that.”

Says he’d love to have a smaller SAG show so all the wrestlers are protected by the SAG union:

“I don’t want to compete with WWE or AEW. I just want to kind of have my own thing and have it on smaller channels, smaller networks, have it be a SAG show, so that they’re all Screen Actors Guild. That’s what SAG stands for. Then they can have some insurance for as long as that union lasts. I’m sure there’s some scheme to bust that one up if it’s still there. I went back to work. I’m excited for it. I’m putting together my little wrestling piggy bank. I’m putting some money in there for the next year and a half, a little over a year and a half, and then I’m going in on my indie wrestling brand.”

look out for the TK fit over this one, xrod!

If anything, *I* should be throwing a fit over this.

I've been saying the "toy collecting" thing for years, except it was initially more a dig at WWE for just signing up all the indy talent with any buzz whatsoever to developmental contracts even if they had no intention on ever calling them up for TV... they have to have them so nobody else could. They still did it to a pont right up until this whole "we don't want trained wrestlers anymore" shit.

Essentially, WWE is the collector who leaves shit in boxes, and doesn't even display them: just stick all the limited editions in a stack in the garage corner with all the other collectables they sniped from eBay bids. Tony rips everything open immediately, plays with it, and then it gets lost under the bed for about six months when he gets a new, shiny one to play with.

CYN is for control your narrative? really?

womp

EC3 has been on that as a gimmick for the last couple of years now. He came across almost cult-leader-ish without the Bray Wyatt spooky or Truth Comission hokey. More like Scott from Higher Learning, but without the white supremacy. Only thing that took away from it is the trend of any gathering/stable being a cult of some kind around the same time: Decay, The Rightous, etc.

Admittedly, seems a better fit for the name of a stable - which is what it looked like it was gearing up to be - than the name of a company, but it could have been far worse.

And who knows, maybe Rollermacka will show up there, and we will actually get a Titan vs. Titan match!

One, I think Aries already was. Would make sense if that's part of the reason why he's on this train.

And Ryback makes sense for this venture... but also seems like it would be a point of contention if he were involved. Skippy vs Healy strike me as a thing that might be too much oil and water even though they're of similar mindsets. Like, it seems similar to what I imagnied would have happened in WWE if Kenny Omega went there from Japan instead of doing the AEW exectutive thing (remembering this is pre-pandemic and when Vince was as hands-off as he was going to be to focus on XFL2.0), where he would be both a perfect fit for the company look, hype, and gimmick wise, but too much like HHH in his prime for them to get along.

Interested to see how this all fits together. With personalities like Aries involved I can’t see how the guys just work it out for themselves.

it just reads like an angry child who didn't get their way. the way things work in the industry aren't big secrets.

I see it like this: if it corrals all the shitheads together, neat. One stop shop of shit not to invest in watching. If it then implodes under its own weight of bullshit, would anyone really be surprised?

In any case, I'm becoming less interested the more I find out about this venture, and I officially recind my joke about our friendly neighborhood half of the "Pillars of Destiny" squaring off against Adam Sherr in this envoronment.

Is that Braun Strowman? If so, he looks like shit. If it’s not, they somehow found a guy who somehow looks like him from the neck up and Trevor Murdoch from the neck down.

Also SOMEONE DESIGNED THAT GRAPHIC. I swear, my friend’s 4 yr old could legitimately do a better job. I’m not exaggerating.
