I agree that calling him EC3 would be silly too just because A) Who gives a fuck about his TNA name and B) It's a reference to Dixie Carter, which is weird. But If they DID go with EC3, more people would probably recognize him as that than as Derrick Bateman.
No, but the show was exposed to so many people, and it left the network with 1 million viewers. I'm sure not everyone jumped over, but I think everyone is underestimating the reach of the WWE and overestimating TNA's. I think people are conflating his push in TNA with being at the bottom of the hierarchy in WWE. But more people are aware of who Heath Slater is than have ever seen Kenny Omega.

The only reason he was signed by TNA was because he was a WWE reject anyway. It was "Hey, look at what they're getting Derrick Bateman to do in TNA." I agree with your reasoning in both A and B.
