On a recent episode of their “E&C Pod Of Awesomeness”, Edge and Christian discussed the recent announcement of NXT call-ups. They had high praise for Lacey Evans and ECIII. Edge went as far as to say that ECIII reminds him of John Cena. Here are the highlights:
Christian On ECIII Being Better Suited For The Main Roster Than NXT:
I think that it’s cool. They obviously did this with the McMahons coming back and saying they’re shaking things up and kind of doing away with the GM roles and that sort of thing, which I think is good for a little while. I think ew saw guys come out and guy and girls we haven’t seen for a long time, they’re going to get a chance here to jump in and kind of prove their worth. And also, some fresh faces is never a bad thing. Usually we kind of see this [number] come in until after WrestleMania, so I mean it’s good timing and we already saw Lars Sullivan. I think the sky’s the limit for him. He’s a really talented guy. He really is a freak. And I think EC3, I don’t want to say it, but he’s kind of better suited for the main roster than he is for NXT and we’ve seen that happen, same with Elias. He was the same type of guy and EC3 reminds me a lot of him in that respect, that that’s better suited for him.
On Edge Comparing ECIII To Cena:
I think EC3 reminds me of Cena as well, and Elias. And I think if you were to put Cena on the NXT roster starting out, I don’t know how great it would’ve gone, but you put him on the main roster and you see what happened. I think that’s very similar with EC3, and his skillset, and where he’s at. And I think, not that he didn’t do great in NXT, I just don’t think it’s the best place for a guy like him. I think he’s really kind of going to flourish coming to one of those two shows.
Edge On Comparing Lacey Evans To Beth Phoenix:
And do you know who else is very different is Lacey Evans. There’s a bit of Michelle McCool; there’s a bit of Beth. She [has] got some really cool kind of pinup things, and I like the punch. It’s pretty simple, but it’s cool.
Christian On Evans:
And I like that she’s a lady, but then she’ll kind of snap a little bit. I like that.
