5 TNA stars whose departure could kill Impact Wrestling

#1 Ethan Carter III (EC3)

EC3 has the confidence needed to lead a company!

I often wonder what this guy would have accomplished, had he not been released from his WWE contract. While cuts are a part of the business, which will always exist, it’s always difficult for a company to cut someone, then watch them move on to become one of the top stars in the world, which is exactly what happened in this situation.

EC3 left WWE and quickly became THE guy in Impact Wrestling. Everything about EC3 screams “money!” This guy has the look, the presence, the confidence and all the other tools needed to become one of the best in the business, which is exactly what happened when Ethan Carter III was created.

EC3 is the cornerstone of TNA Wrestling. He is someone who is also capable of carrying an entire company on his shoulders. Of all the talent on the Impact roster, EC3 is the man among men and without question, Carter is the franchise player for TNA and needs to be treated as such.
