Back when EC3 was the MJF of TNA.

[@BoodyAnto]

It should be the other way around cos it happened earlier

[@XxrandomexexX]

@@BoodyAnto hew not saying mjf was before ec3 he's just saying that this is when ec3 was just like mjf instead of the lower midcarder chasing the shity version of the hardcore Championship

[@hafizsyednomanali6868]

No. MJF is the EC3 of AEW

[@janreyabuan970]

EC3 > MJF

[@saykuku2]

MJF is is TNA's EC3 of AEW

[@manun8115]

Rockstar spud > Drake Maverick.

[@isaacvargas2575]

Emmanuel nguwo I don’t know man I really enjoy seeing him in the tournament

[@marcuszhi]

Drake Maverick > Rockstar spud

[@kvothe2793]

They were so damn entertaining in TNA...and in wwe we got EC3 -who is a monster on the mic and a great worker - getting a mute gimmick and not being used, Kurt freaking Angle getting retired by corbin, tyrus with the dancing gimmick and rockstar spud barely wrestling and "wetting himself". And i'm just naming the people in this video. Don't get me started on Eric Young, Bobby's Sisters, Austin Aries or Matt... Long live TNA , hope I'll get to see you rise again and that it's only a matter of time until TNA is kino again.

[@MrAnonymous389]

Kvothe 27 I don’t get how wwe mistreated those individuals

[@danielavalos611]

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 well said

[@frankzavala7139]

Crazy Kurt was wrestling like this 5 years ago

[@DH.91]

Just imagine if they brought him back to WWE at this stage, as opposed to when they did. Rusev has had the US title for 20months...he has been on a tirade against America their athletes etc...he issues an open challenge at summerslam to any american athlete on the planet...then boom we hear Medal and out marches the wrestling machine

[@mr.justicethelegend]

Sure it was buddy

[@levichance]

Ikr so true. Even his match in 2017 with el Patron was like a prime level match. Search it up if you havent seen it.

[@UltimateShadow10]

That's because Kurt rarely ever had a bad match. JBL used to like calling himself a "Wrestling God" but, Kurt Angle actually was one.

[@ericphilbeck7858]

Rockstar Spud & EC3 were a joke. Especially Magnus or Nick Adis whatever his name is was TNA world champ. Bad for business. Dixie didn't care about the company goes down to the shitter.

[@michaelphoenix3231]

i didn't realize how long josh Matthews has been in impact for.

[@TheBlackNostalgiaNerd]

He came in 2015

[@maverick6343]

He's pretty much the Michael Cole of impact

[@mayisaythatsasmashingblous5876]

It doesn't feel as long as it's actually been, does it? 🙃

[@keanucora4606]

He’s been there for 5 years now.

[@AmRealityInc]

I was going to say the same thing. I thought they dubbed him in

[@mayisaythatsasmashingblous5876]

Any chance we could get Spud and EC3's hair vs. hair match from 2015 while you're at it? 👀

[@mayisaythatsasmashingblous5876]

This has more likes than I thought it would get, I'm glad people remember that match 😃

[@georgeapollo3569]

I’d love to see Kurt Angle back in Impact Wtestling in some capacity.

[@Nasrin_Begum]

Impact doesn't have the budget anymore

[@superrobz]

It pisses me off how WWE treated EC3 & Rockstar Spud... good for them getting out of the WWE

[@shirleygreen9648]

Rob Picken I agree with you EC3 has everything to be a champion

[@superrobz]

Shirley Green so does Spud in my opinion

[@keanucora4606]

EC3 might be going back to impact.

[@shirleygreen9648]

Keanu Cora I hope so that man went from being the biggest superstar to chasing the 24/7 championship

[@jeramyamogler5220]

Rockstar Spud got a NXT contract so not leaving WWE

[@brandosciandra3500]

IMPACT should bring this stage set back for a PPV or a set of tapings

[@GlassesnMouthplates]

What a fantastic match. If this was Dave Maverick vs Kurt Angle in WWE, chances that it would be a 2 minutes squash match unless they let good ol' Angle doing it his own way.

[@toastedroast]

Now this is how you use EC3 and Spud, I admit I stopped watching Impact when Hogan and Bischoff were at the helm, Still haven't watched since, But looking at these clips it looks like there has been a lot of great moments missed out on. Damn spud can sure go.

[@TheBlackNostalgiaNerd]

Oh yea you missed some great stuff honestly After hogan left Impact was doing well tv wise just Dixie carter was making more piss poor decisions

[@toastedroast]

@@TheBlackNostalgiaNerd I missed out on the broken hardy's too! Caught up a bit on KZbin though, For me though Impact still feels tainted from those mistaken days! But hear they're pretty good right now under the new owners

[@retromirzie4697]

[toastedroast] lashleys 2nd to last run with the title was nice too and decay was great

[@retromirzie4697]

[toastedroast] also wolves vs hardys vs team 3d

[@toastedroast]

@@retromirzie4697 might look into getting Impact+ see if all this is on there.

[@hamadhumaid1984]

2:55 "Because if you do, I promise I will snap your friggin' ankle in two" imagine if Kurt Angle breaks Ethan's ankle he better have his health insurance card ready

[@alifnajmi1997]

I'm still don't know why some of the fans booing Kurt Angle and cheered for Rockstar and EC3

[@therealdsd]

I miss TNA😢

[@TheBlackNostalgiaNerd]

This wasn't TNA this was impact

[@therealdsd]

@@TheBlackNostalgiaNerd It was TNA Impact Wrestling

[@rohitattri3950]

This old TNAIMPACT championship was amazing

[@Cameron_611]

Two of them released (EC3 and Kurt Angle) and the other one is about to be released if he doesn’t win the WWE Cruiserweight Championship (Rockstar Spud/Drake Maverick).

[@jaym-gb7mz]

Cameron Nyedhuff Drake is already released. WWE are just allowing him to compete in the Cruiserweight tournament. If he wins, he’ll obviously be rehired.

[@piratezulzi9019]

Jaylen Mondon If he is released then obviously they won’t make him win the tournament

[@jaym-gb7mz]

Zulzi Gaming Well yeah, I don’t believe he’s winning.

[@wilfredobinuya4498]

Well Drake is 1-1 so he is way way far behind from winning

[@DragONheart27X]

Kurt was released from his Producer role (probably furloughed) but I am pretty sure he still has a Legends contract. I hope Drake wins and for God's sake I hope EC3 goes bck to Impact. He'll get lost in the shuffle in AEW. Either Impact or NWA.

[@saykuku2]

Good match. TNA uses talent much better than WWE

[@dreammatchmania07]

@TJ P haters like this dude unfortunately can not understand that

[@TheReneDorion]

TNA tried to compete on that level and they failed sadly

[@datemasamune2904]

If they were actually any better they’d be known throughout the entire world by now.

[@datemasamune2904]

@@dreammatchmania07 If they actually used stars better, TNA would have a more global and recognized presence.

I see what you're doing Impact...…...and I love it.

Thought it was Christian in the Thumbnail. 🤣🤣🤣

[@josehidalgo3289]

When EC3 use to talk

[@darkVman]

That transition to the finish was great. Spud trying to roll out from the Anglelock again , but Angle seeing it coming and counter into a grapevine.

[@psirensongs]

Josh Matthews hella channeling Jim Ross when Spud goes for the Underdog lol. Great match!

Vince fired him

[@gearsfan159]

It's Impact Wrestling

[@dalechannel]

Impact Wrestling AKA TNA 2002-2016 was better than WWE currently is and has been for over a decade.

[@mayisaythatsasmashingblous5876]

I was thinking about this match a few days ago. How timely 😅

[@vonVile]

I can't believe Jeremy claimed Rockstar Spud weighed 248 pounds. More like 204.

[@thecheapestpop2447]

vonVile 200 and 4 or 8 pounds 😂

[@DerHitman]

He said 148 pounds

[@starcade90]

EC3 and Spud buried their careers going to WWE!

[@TheBlackNostalgiaNerd]

They went to where the money was thinking that Vince would booked them like that was booked in Impact honestly people need to give impact more respect

[@laquintinbelser8342]

The Black Nostalgia Nerd facts I agree...I Kno wwe is every wrestler dream but Vince not going to push everyone that's just the reality behind the money he throws at u

[@DH.91]

I hold Kurt up there with the GOATS think about how good he was and how quick he became that good. He could brawl with Stone Cold put on technical master classes with Benoit he pulled of the dork gimmick, wrestling machine gimmick kiss arse suck up super heel faction leader he really is up there

[@jessehall1879]

Bring back TNA already bring Eric young back and ec3 and spud

[@janetchambers5284]

rock star spudd did the dudley dog spike dudleys move

[@thearyaputra]

Why every wrestlers that has been released by TNA and then wrestled in WWE, being the dumbed down version of themselves? I feel bad for EC3, Kurt, and Drake.

[@TheBlackNostalgiaNerd]

Cause wwe is the dumb down version of pro wrestling been that way since the hogan era

[@thearyaputra]

@@TheBlackNostalgiaNerd at TNA, Kurt was the definition of a wrestling machine. When he returned to WWE, he just became.. Meh. I understand, that maybe due to his age. But EC3? Wow, that was a crime to use him like that bro.

[@unlimitedkuudere2381]

This was a surprisingly good match

[@AcornSmokes420]

I remember this and it was a great match between both I mean damn spud almost beat Kurt and if that happen I would have gone marked out lol

[@ShootItALBY]

No way this was 5 years ago

[@frankzavala7139]

Ikr he was still good in the ring then and now can't turn his neck all the way. 2017 was his last good year in the ring in my opinion

[@rodneywhite3651]

Appropriate that they’re releasing this match after Drake Maverick (Rockstar Spud) was recently released from his WWE contract. He was a badass when he was Rockstar Spud though. I wish WWE would’ve used that character themselves but they didn’t. This was an incredible match. I wanted to see Spud beat him, but Spud couldn’t get the cover immediately off the Underdog. That’s why he lost.

[@jalenwalker5667]

We will see what happens, because Impact has brought back the TNA World Heavyweight Title... I love that Moose is champ, but u know Impact will try to get Angle, Spud, EC3, Eric Young & Rusev. All 5 are going to end up with AEW or Impact.

[@thecheapestpop2447]

Alfredo Collum I could see Rusev heading to NJPW. EC3 to NWA. Angle MAYBE to AEW as a producer. Spud and EY should come home to Impact though! Impact only has so much money to spend these days, they’ve gotta spend wisely.

[@DerHitman]

@@thecheapestpop2447 EC3 to NWA? What? Why?

It’s like Bret Hart vs 123 Kid in 1994 also all 4 opponents 15 years apart...Bret born in 57 & 123 kid in 72 also Angle born in 68 & Spud in 83...Wow both team Babyfaces, also EC3 & Tyrus = Owen Hart & Jim Neidhart.
