Man, Trick has had a meteoric rise. It's one thing about the wrestling, it's subjective to the person that's watching it. I never really look at that side of it, because I really wasn't that great of a wrestler myself -- I just act like I was a good wrestler [laughs]. But Trick Williams, he's done something so captivating and that's be able to connect with that crowd. That crowd wants to see Trick win. They want to see him come up. Just because that charisma that he displays on a weekly basis. He's a good dude as well.
His wrestling? That's going to come. I talk to Trick Williams all the time myself about that aspect of his game, and that's not something that happens overnight. Trick Williams has had -- literally you can count just about on both hands how many matches Trick Williams has had actually in the ring on television. So for me, Trick is a diamond in the rough. But trust me, once we polish him up man, he's going to shine and he's going to shine like new money.
And right now, he's doing a hell of a job as far as creating his aura in NXT. By the time he gets to that next level -- I can honestly say this: is Trick Williams ready for the main roster right now? Me personally, I don't think so. But that's what NXT is for -- to get these young guys ready for that next level, just like Carmelo Hayes. Carmelo's been grinding in NXT for about the last two years, he's been grinding. Give Trick Williams that same amount of time and see how this young man develops. He is truly going to be a generational talent in this business that hasn't come along in a long time.
