There’s a lot of buzz surrounding Control Your Narrative. The new wrestling promotion is the brainchild of EC3 and so far involves longtime friends Adam Scherr (fka Braun Strowman) and Killer Kross (fka Karrion Kross). Former Impact Wrestling star Austin Aries has also signed up for the promotion.
They have already announced touring events in Orlando and Dallas for the promotion and are set to acquire a television deal. VIP members will get access to a rant room where they will be able to berate their least favorite wrestlers for three minutes, per EC3.
Scherr is now sharing more details about the upcoming venture. He explained what sets Control Your Narrative apart from other wrestling promotions. It is worth mentioning that Scherr has ventured into different opportunities ever since he was released from the WWE in the summer of 2021.
“Now we’re working on, Control Your Narrative is going to be the first wrestling promotion in the metaverse and stuff with NFT characters that you can buy, play in the video games, stuff like that. We’re hitting this with everything we got. This is our one chance to do something different, kind of change the industry a little bit.
“It’s putting a lot of power in the talents hands, cutting the middleman out. You hear these stories of guys and girls who have to travel around and pay their dues. Pay your dues is going out there and working, you should get paid for that. I’m so (sick) of hearing these stories of people driving four or five hours, setting up a ring, putting their body on the line, and getting a handshake and driving back home.
“People coming to two who are going to work for me and EC3, they’re going to get paid. That’s what this about it. It’s a business. We’re here to make money. If the business is making money, the talent is making money, the owners are making money, everyone is having fun, we’re happy, and that’s how you create change.”
