Summary

Trick Williams explained how his entrance theme came together, saying he originally asked for a sound inspired by “Family Ties” from Baby Keem and Kendrick Lamar. He said he specifically wanted horns, bass, and 808 drums to create a feeling of hip hop royalty.

Williams said the instrumental he received immediately felt right, and he did not expect fans to start chanting “Whoop That Trick” from day one.

Trick Williams entrance identity and crowd connection

Trick Williams tying his theme to a specific hip hop influence reinforces that his entrance presentation is intentional, and that gives his character a clearer identity every time he walks out.

The immediate “Whoop That Trick” crowd chant also shows the song is doing more than background work, because it actively drives fan participation before the match even starts.

Quote from Trick Williams

“The original pitch that I gave the music guy was, ‘I love Family Ties by Kendrick Lamar and Baby Keem.’ I love the horns at the beginning. I like the horns, the bass, the 808 drums on it. It feels like royalty. Hip hop royalty walking into the room. That’s how I saw myself, just representing the hip hop culture and those horns make you feel like such a big deal. They came back with the theme that I have now. ‘This is perfect.’ Mind you, the theme is an instrumental. I didn’t know people would be chanting. Since day one people have been chanting ‘Whoop That Trick.’ It’s better than I could have imagined it. The theme itself, I loved it right away,”
