Throughout the course of its history, TNA has been known to sign ex-WWE Superstars and make them the face of the company. With well-established names such as Kurt Angle and Jeff Hardy, it was an easy task.

However, the fact that they took Derrick Bateman from WWE (an enhancement talent) and made him one of the company's most charismatic and successful Superstars is beyond imaginable. He was renamed EC3 and right from the get-go, he was put in prominent story-lines. He remained unpinned for multiple months and easily became one of the most credible heels of that time. He is also a former 2-time TNA World Champion.

He resigned with WWE last year and so far, things haven't been going well for the Top One Percenter. His NXT run was quite forgettable, and after a lackluster feud with Dean Ambrose earlier this year, WWE seemingly gave up on him. He is now a prominent part of the 24/7 Title hunt squad and also managed to get one short-lived reign under his belt.

Ali's love for pro wrestling dates back to when Randy Orton won a Battle Royal to become the #1 Contender for the World Heavyweight Championship at SummerSlam 2004. His current favorite wrestler is Cody Rhodes because he's the ultimate throwback babyface. He believes Rhodes has the Surfer Sting's passion, Bret Hart's prop-gifting schtick, a catchy theme like Hogan's, and a kid-friendly demeanor akin to John Cena's.

When he is not doing research for his articles on Google or catching up with the latest in pro wrestling, Ali can be found honing his Data Science and AI skills as he strives to get back into tech in the near future.
