Trick Williams joined the WWE main roster a few months ago and he’s quickly taking the world by storm. People have taken notice of the former NXT Champion’s charisma, and some have compared him to The Rock.
While talking about the comparisons during an interview with The Sun, Trick Williams admitted that The Rock was one of the people who made him want to get into the professional wrestling business. However, he explained that he’s not trying to be the next Rock, he’s trying to be the one and only Trick Williams.
“I used to watch his promos and how he could control the crowd with his voice, and I thought it was the most amazing thing ever. Even more so than a wrestler, just how he was so charismatic, so stoic that the people were just captivated with everything that he said.”
“So when I actually decided I’m gonna pursue this business, I’m gonna become a WWE superstar. He was one of the reasons that I was really studying and watching the things that he did, not to become the Rock, not to be just like the Rock, but so the crowd scream as soon as they heard the first bit of your music.”
“I wanted to know what it felt like to just come out flying and just sit there and let the people feel your presence. So, there’s a lot of things that The Rock did that influenced me as a performer, but by no means do I want to be the next Rock. I got to be the new Trick Williams, the one and only Trick Williams, because what The Rock has done has already been done. So I gotta find a way to do it.”
