Two-time WWE Hall of Famer Booker T recently took to an episode of his “Hall Of Fame” podcast, where he talked about a number of topics including NXT star Trick Williams using his catchphrases.
Booker T said, “I wanna see that kid shine, man.” “I wanna see Trick go to the next level. I wanna see him win. He even used, ‘Tell me he didn’t just say that.” “Roll with it. Whatever I could do to help you get to the next level. I’m not gonna be one of these old wrestlers bitter about somebody using something that I used back in the day. I’m just not. I talk to Trick on a regular basis. He’s like one of my pupils. I’m definitely gonna guide him hopefully all the way to that end zone. First time I saw Trick I thought he was talent. Even before he ever got in the ring I said, ‘Man there’s something about this guy that passes the airport test.’ When you see that guy walking through the airport, you say who is that guy? The ladies turning, they looking. The guys looking…It’s one of those type of things. He checks off all of those boxes.”
“It’s not about wrestling. It’s just about going in the ring and performing. If you can do that and do it very very well, you’re gonna win every single time. That’s what he does and he does it very very well. For Trick, ah yeah man. He just took it all the way man. Like I said in the adlibs, I like it!”
He also jokingly talked about R-Truth stealing all of his moves.
“I endorsed it. I endorsed all of it. My spinning forearm, everything! I endorsed it because I want to see that brother win every time.”
