#5 The Hardcore American Icon

EC3 and Sting

EC3 has a handful of nicknames, but the most interesting one from the lot is: The Hardcore American Icon. It might sound like a random nickname in the first go, but there is a big story behind it. The parts of the nickname indicate the major superstars that EC3 has beaten during his TNA career. He first defeated Sting in a solid match, so EC3 became the Icon.

He then went on to defeat Kurt Angle and since Angle is considered to be the greatest American in the wrestling business, EC3 also became an ‘American’. The hardcore part came when he defeated Bubba Ray Dudley, who at the time was having a singles run in TNA. Now, imagine what will happen if he comes to WWE and defeats The Undertaker.
