Trick Williams had mixed feelings about WWE Unreal season 3: “You know, the funny thing is I definitely had to think about it when they brought it to me. What is there to be scared of?’ My name is Trick Williams. Trick is an extension of my original name. My birth name is Matrick. If you add the ‘M-A’ to Trick, you get Trick Williams. So as you leave the cameras on a little bit longer, when you hit that red button and you dive into who Trick Williams really is, you will get a piece of Matrick. But luckily for me, Matrick and Trick Williams are the same person. Matrick just gives you a little bit more detail of how Trick Williams became Trick Williams, and that’s what you’re gonna get when you tune into Unreal. How Trick Williams became Trick Williams. Let’s talk about it.”
Speaking of Matrick, he and Laredo Kid will wrestle on the SNME pre-show tonight.
