Former ICW Champion and Pure X Crown Champion competes on WWE RAW from Tampa, FL. The man formerly known as Lil’ E tagged with Florida local Nick Nero to take on the Enzo Amore & Colin Cassidy. Ernest R. Alexander III was a integral part of ICW up until its closing in 2012. Congratulations are in order for ERA!
From rapper to upperclassmen, this former boy band singer has gotten closer to achieving his dream of one day wrestling in the big leagues.
ERA can be seen regularly competing for Afa the Wild Samoan’s WXW out of Minneola, FL.
ICW President and founder Jorge Portuondo had this to say: “I have had my share of favorite characters or wrestlers in ICW, but by far ERA III has always made, any spot given, pure gold. We always gave him hell for his ego, but “You Girlfriend’s Favorite Wrestler, the Upperclassman of Wrestling” always proved that he was the top of the company every time he competed. The rivalry between ERA and Joker from 2005 to 2012 was poetry being played out in front of a live audience. I for one cannot wait to see him back in an ICW ring on August 12th!”
Ernest R. Alexander III returns to ICW on Friday Night, August 12th at the Thunder Rumble, he will go one on one with Mike Monroe for the ICW Championship.
Social Media went crazy when ERA showed up on television…
