For those who don’t know, TNA World Heavyweight Champion Drew Galloway faced Johnny Gargano in the main event of EVOLVE 61 iPPV.
During the match, former TNA World Heavyweight Champion Ethan Carter III ended up making a surprise appearance and attacked Gargano.
After the match, EC3 ended up delivering a promo in which he ripped Triple H & NXT. Below is what he said:
“Galloway became a world champion on his own. I became a world champion on my own. So the way I look at it, you know who kinda blew it? The 203. Stamford, CT. Up north. The ‘King of Kings’, that’s who blew it.
You wanna take that next step? You wanna get to the show everybody loves? ‘Oh we have great matches, compelling characters, great storylines, NXT, NXT, yay! You know what makes a star? Surviving. Try surviving obstacle courses. Getting slimmed. Wheelbarrow races. Six-minute TV matches where you can’t do any of your cool moves. And Redemption Points! Here we stand, a true success story of independence. Independence is not to the machine; independence is succeeding despite it.
I’m not finished! We are the last bastion of the independents here. We are two men – we weren’t failed football projects. We weren’t models. We weren’t body builders pulled out of a gym. We sure as hell weren’t anyone’s kids! We are two men who love this industry, who breath this industry. To us this isn’t a game – this is our god damn lives.”
