EC3 recently appeared as a guest on INSIGHT with Chris Van Vliet for an in-depth interview covering all things pro wrestling. During the discussion, EC3 commented on still keeping in touch with Dixie Carter
“Yeah, I text her once a month. We have a little exchange. It was pulling teeth to get her on that OVW guest spot we did. Al Snow and I were helping her produce it because she was filming it at home. It was just like old times. We were micro-managing and analyzing things that don’t matter. Like, all you have to do is just show up and say hi and just have fun with it. She said, ‘I don’t know if this is the right tone.’ I said, ‘Just have fun.’ That’s what this sh*t is supposed to be and I think that’s what she never really got to experience because she jumps into the business in the deep end to like, you know, the competitive, shark filled waters of the professional wrestling world where a lot of people are utilizing her and probably manipulating her and trying to get money and this and that. I don’t know if she ever just got to have fun. You gotta have fun. This is the reason we do this.”
If he would go back to WWE:
“I’m so thoroughly content with building what we’re building right now and I’m very on board. I feel very much I could be a gear in the strongest machine possible, or I can sink or swim being a catalyst to build something for the future. How much are they paying? (he laughs) No. I believe in what we’re doing, I believe in WPC. They put me in a great position, not just as champion, but sort of like, I don’t know, I guess I’m a locker room leader and things like that. Being able to help cultivate the future intrigues me greatly, especially because I’m still in my prime and I could beat everybody.”
