Booker T has been a active advocate for Trick Williams throughout his time on “WWE NXT,” which has seen him contribute some of the most memorable adlibs that he has made to Williams his entrance music. This has led to comparisons between Williams and Booker T from people who follow the show, something Williams admits to hearing frequently and believes an excellent complement.
“Booker T, you know he is great, was great, so I am honored by that,” Williams stated in “Under the Ring.” “I talk to Booker all the time; we check in weekly. I might watch some film with him or just pick his brain or just talk business and he’s definitely been a guy whose been very helpful to me and my career.”
The two-time Hall of Famers has not only offered advice to Williams during “NXT” tapings but has also invited the former football player into his own event, Reality of Wrestling, giving him more chances to develop and improve about himself as a performer. But this doesn’t mean Booker T wants Williams to just ride on his coattails.
“He’s adamant on me doing it myself though. He’s like, ‘Hey, don’t do it like I did it, I don’t want you to come up off my name. Go out there and get it yourself.’ That’s the way I want it,” Williams declared. “He’s been very helpful from a mentor standpoint, but I definitely want to still be Trick Williams and not remind people of Booker T, if that makes sense?”
