WWE Hall of Famer Booker T is a big fan of Trick Williams’ work on the WWE NXT brand, and he’s been there to aid him along the way as he grows into one of the company’s most popular wrestlers.
Booker noted on the Hall of Fame podcast that he liked the notion of WWE paying for the rights to the song “Whoop That Trick” from the film “Hustle and Flow.”
“That’s not a bad idea,” Booker said. I think they can purchase it. I don’t think it’s out of the realm. I would have to add lips to it to make it work (he laughs). I’m looking forward to Trick getting the championship back, but it’s going to be an uphill climb. Right now, we’ve got so many people in line chomping at the bit wanting a shot at that championship, so Trick is going to have to put in some work.”
On Ethan Page in NXT:
“I got to give Ego some props because he stepped into NXT and he’s done a hell of a job. He’s filled a lot of those holes in places that NXT needed just because the NXT roster got depleted. A lot of guys left and we were wondering who’s going to come in and make an impact and really stir the pot up just a little bit. Ego has been one of those guys. I’m backing Ego.”
