Quote from Trick Williams

"I study all the greats. I mean, if I was gonna do this, when I decided I'm gonna be a WWE superstar, I looked at the greats who made me want to get into this business in the first place, talking about Stone Cold, I was three years old i opened a can of whoop ass my mom said I gotta stop watching wrestling. The Rock, I love how he can cut a promo and just capture the attendance, I'm sorry, the attention of everybody. Everybody was dialed in on what the rock had to say he had the swag he had the presence he had the aura you know i mean he just felt like a superstar. Booker T, you know, a lot of people say, don't meet your heroes and you're gonna be disappointed. Meeting Booker T was the exact opposite. From the jump, he took me under his wing and said, 'hey, I love what you got. Let's brush it up here. Let's polish this. This is how you hit that move. When you hit that, make sure you flex your biceps because the people want to see how strong you are.' Different stuff like that. Those three guys is what really drove me to this business. If I'm going to do it, it has to feel something like this. I'm not going to take the swag. I'm going to put my own swag on it."
