Simple math tells you that he isn’t just good but great<\/span>. While 99% of those that have come and gone from OVW,<\/span> FCW<\/span>, and NXT<\/span> in its early days may have faded away. One has returned, and clearly what he accomplished while away from the company contributed to his being brought him back. During his time in TNA\/IMPACT Wrestling<\/strong><\/a>, he competed as Ethan Carter III<\/strong>, a wealthy relative of owner Dixie Carter<\/strong> and member of the upper class. He became the promotion’s most talked about character during his time there. He displayed a swagger and a confidence that he always knew he had but others<\/span> hadn’t seen. It was his time to shine, and without question, he did just that.<\/p>\n

However, before we can identify why he was so sought after, it is important to recognize where he was before achieving that success. Many may or may not know that Carter competed in NXT<\/span> several years ago under the name of Derrick <\/strong>Bateman<\/strong>.<\/span> During his time there he only scratched the surface of what he could do. The character didn’t really have an opportunity to build steam and during his time in developmental. He often underwent changes, from using his actual name of Mike Hutter<\/span><\/strong> to Agent D<\/strong>, and then back to Derrick Bateman.<\/span> How can fans truly get a sense of someone if they don’t consistently see them?<\/p>\n
