Maybe just maybe it’s better to keep Trick in NXT until after Mania. Big nose is hopelessAight so lets talk about Trick Williams not being in the Royal Rumble. I won't speak on anything else because his NXT title run, while not the greatest was solid enough. NXT had 5 women in the Rumble and 0 men
How does WWE not capitalize on a future big star with charisma out the ass? Trick was popular enough to be in the rumble last year and they didn't have him. They let him grow even more popular and improve as a wrestler over the next 365 days and choose not to have him again. "Whoop That Trick" can easily become YEET level if they let this man cook.
Meanwhile Tye Dillinger was allowed to be number 10 in the rumble 2 years in a row. Tonight we had Joe Hendry TNA champ get tossed out like a sack of trash by Roman Reigns. He was literally only in the match for the shock factor and the "moment" his gimmick provides.
Trick could've came in and Hit a few Trick Shots which is not far ferched because the move can come out of nowhere. He could've also hit some of those high roundhouse kicks and a bookend or two. Just show us that you are thinking about the future. Having Booker be a guest commentator with the amount of NXT talent in the rumble would've been the perfect set up for him to be there to hit the adlibs for Trick.
They really had Otis with a jacket that says "blue collar babe" and had a singlet with a fukcing collar on it (that was green and not blue) Otis was in the match to do the fukking Worm. Another "pop/crowd participation" moment.
I Understand the speed shyt because he brings viewers and it they tryna tap into his fan base so whatever. Can't talk about Tozowa because Speed took his shyt.
But anyway you cant tell me Trick Williams wouldn't have had the building jumping. You can't tell me Whoop That Trick wouldn't have been a bigger moment than Otis doing the Worm. You cant tell me Trick wouldn't have at least gotten better offense in than Joe Hendry before getting eliminated. Lets not forget Trick could've switched to a "Hot Tag" style offensive moveset that would've ignited the crowd.
Idk what the plans are with Trick going forward will he be in the main roster after the draft? I can't believe this was Roxanne's 3rd rumble in a row as an NXT roster member but Trick can't even get one? They are failing to showcase their future stars. Y'all wanted to use the "Melo is two small" excuse but Trick is 6'4 why not let him in the ring with these guys?
