Now here are some pics David took of Derrick Bateman (as he was called then) from 2012. Except for the hair, he hasn't really changed all that much, has he?

Get Carter
Remember what Ethan Carter III looked like before signing up with TNA? If you don't, longtime contributor to this blog David has some photos he took back in 2012 to remind you. But first, here are a few pics David took of EC3 last weekend at an EVOLVE show.

A wonderful body. He's one of those men who effortlessly radiates sex-appeal. I preferred him with short hair; the Tarzan look does not appeal.
ReplyDeleteI discovered him when he started TNA and had short hair so that's the look that first got my attention. Longer hair has always been a bit of a turn off for me. For some reason, despite getting my attention, EC3 for me is starting to fall into the bucket of "too hot to be attractive" like Godderz.
ReplyDeleteAt the same time, I look at pic 4/8, and I think wow at certain angles, those wrestling trunks could almost be an Andrew Christian-type sexy underwear. I personally love the leopard prints.
Amazing how just his shaggy hair (awful, IMO) can affect the appearance. He also had a "flabby" period, around the time he dropped out of FCW, I think, but has pulled it all together since. I remember him as the "Deviant," wrestling in PWO, AIW, and Firestorm Pro Wrestling, wearing very nice, brief black trunks. This vid is from a whole set of PWO shows (ca. 2008) someone put up. (Chris Cronus is another favorite of mine, check out the other shows, too) Anon.

Two of the best glutes in pro wrestling!
ReplyDeleteTNA has been really good for him. He has become one of wrestling's greatest talents. Great look. Great body. Great on mic. Good in-ring skills. Love watching him every time.
ReplyDeleteAgree on the Tarzan hair. Not for me.
ReplyDeleteOmg, (Chris) Cronus is one of those beefcakes who I had heretofore only managed to find like, one video of. And that was way back when. Every so often I would search his name on YouTube to no avail. So this is a pleasant surprise. Thanks for sharing, Anon!
Welcome. Anon.
DeleteI read on some message board that he had left wrestling (years ago), literally dropping out of some show at the last minute and leaving a promotor high and dry. A shame.
Do you have this one, my favorite match of his, vs Jabari, a guy who sometimes wrestles in drag as "Super Oprah":

Yeah, that's the one video I meant. For the longest time I thought that was all I was ever going to see of Cronus. I wonder what else is out there... I see he wrestled Hutter/Ethan Carter back then too but no video of that.
DeleteI love drag queens but I've never come across Jabari's drag wrestler before! The name Super Oprah already has me in stitches, lol. A few years ago, NPR ran an article on the similarities between drag and wrestling.
Love that NPR article you linked! Interesting how similar the two are.
DeleteThere's also Space Monkey, popular in Ontario, who wears an astronaut flight suit. He could be a she! :-)
DeleteThere are a couple of Cronus tag matches around too, usally against the team Faith 'n Nothing (I think). If you don't have those I can check for the actual title.
It is always the spelling issue with him. Cronus, Chronos, Chronus, Kronus, Kronos, and then, with or without Chris. Anon.
What the heck, they were easy to find. Anon.
