Half-Year Review: EC3 Six Months as NWA World’s Champion

NWA SAMHAIN
No Limits Match
October 28, 2023
The bad blood between EC3 and Thom Latimer extends back to the now-World’s champion’s NWA debut. From his arrival, EC3 appeared borderline obsessed with “The King of All Evil.”
The ensuing showdowns between the two led to no obvious advantage for either, but the stakes were higher than ever when they met in Cleveland. Latimer had already given up everything, cashing in his “Lucky 7” and trading the NWA World’s Television title for a mere chance at “The Ten Pounds of Gold.”
Though both men gave their all, with Latimer nearly picking up a signature victory and the belt, a ghost from the title’s past became the deciding factor. Former NWA World’s champion Matt Cardona made a surprise appearance, costing Latimer his opportunity and extending EC3’s time atop the NWA.
NWA RETURN TO ROBARTS
World’s Title Defense
November 18, 2023
The “Ten Pounds of Gold” was on the line in the main event of NWA’s historic return to Sarasota, FL. EC3 defended his title against former champion Jax Dane, the most decorated competitor on the NWA roster.
“The Dane Event” had plenty to prove! Though he’s never far from title contention, it was his first shot at the World’s title since the Lightning One Era began.
Dane frequently overpowered the EC3 in the early goings. However, the wily champion rallied, picking up an impressive win in just under eight minutes.
