Ethan Carter III (EC3) makes his ACW debut at Aftershock on March 14 at the MJN Center in Poughkeepsie, NY.
EC3 is one of the most accomplished and commanding figures of the modern era. Rising to prominence in Impact Wrestling, he built a legendary 1,000+ day undefeated streak and captured the TNA World Heavyweight Championship, establishing himself as a true main-event force. Known for elite promo ability, a dominant presence, and unwavering self-belief, EC3 has continually reinvented himself, becoming NWA World’s Heavyweight Champion, co-founding Control Your Narrative, and earning his reputation as “The Top 1%.” Wherever EC3 goes, power follows, and ACW is no exception.
Aftershock marks more than EC3’s first appearance in ACW– it signals a shift in the landscape. “The Top 1%” isn’t empty rhetoric, and EC3’s career is proof: it’s a reminder of his championship pedigree, a warning to the entire ACW locker room, and a promise to the fans.
March 14 will deliver high-stakes action, unforgettable moments, and the arrival of a competitor who changes the tone the second he steps through the curtain. For EC3, this isn’t about nostalgia or name recognition, it’s about power. For fans, it’s a night you cannot afford to miss.
The Top 1% is coming. Once EC3 arrives, ACW will never look the same.Tickets for Aftershock are on sale now and moving fast. Secure yours today or risk missing a legendary night of professional wrestling in Poughkeepsie.
