Already a world-traveled superstar, EC3 captured “The Ten Pounds of Gold” in August 2023 at NWA 75. However, the reigning World’s Heavyweight champion makes his AJPW debut against Honda at Super Power Series 2024.
“I plan to do great things, have great honor, have great respect for the fans of Japan,” said a “happy, gleeful, excited” EC3 of the defense, “Because ‘The Overman’ is over in Japan.”
