Ent
2-time TNA Champ EC3!

This will forever be one of those prospects that WWE officials let get away. Michael Hutter is someone who got noticed by WWE talent scouts early on in his career and was eventually sent through what was then the WWE developmental system known back then as "Florida Championship Wrestling."

After spending a few years bouncing around in WWE's developmental system, EC3 was released from his WWE contract in 2013. Soon after being released from WWE, Hutter was signed by TNA and the prodigy was born....Ethan Carter III.

EC3 has since been one of Impact Wrestlings top stars on a consistent basis. Carter is a 2-time TNA Heavyweight Champion and is currently the Impact Grand Champion.

At 34 years of age, there is still a possibility that EC3 could land back in WWE, but that's if he even wants to do so. As of now, it appears he is doing just fine and enjoying the creative freedom this situation gives him.
