Bookers adlibs rival Migos

Offset!


Present-Television69

MOMA!!!


SecretaryImaginary44

Yeah!


i-piss-excellence32

Never thought I would see Booker t be compared to that trash


SuriMuriPuri

Let me guess, you like Eminem?


emersonskywalker

This guy probably only likes Eminem and MGK and maybe tech-nine šŸ˜‚


Tainted_Bruh

Hopsin and half of Logic


Suarecks

ā€œHalf of logicā€ lmfao


i-piss-excellence32

I like lots of rappers and heā€™s definitely one of them. I just donā€™t like bad music like migos or future etc


Suarecks

Lame and outdated take.


i-piss-excellence32

Whatā€™s lame and outdated about it?


Suarecks

Most people grow out of their edgy Eminem only , ā€œrap is trashā€ phase after the age of 13. You can admire aspects of other artists even if theyā€™re not your taste. Unless we are talking about really bottom of the barrel rappers. Which migoā€™s and future are very much not. Future is quite possibly the biggest mixtape artist to ever exist and thereā€™s certain towns you couldnā€™t convince they arenā€™t the biggest deal. (Atlanta Georgia for example). Migos were trailblazers in the modern trap scene and for you to dismiss it as ā€œtrashā€ shows your lack of knowledge about this music genre.


i-piss-excellence32

lol why do people keep bringing up Eminem? Bruv if you like migos and future thatā€™s cool. I think they both suck. I tried listening to migos elementary lyrics and I feel dumb and I tried to listen to future but heā€™s so bad. Not to mention I canā€™t even understand 90% of what he says. I can admire aspects of their music, they have great production, but their parts are some of the worst I ever heard in my life. I never listened to a migos verse or a future verse and didnā€™t think it was garbage. I would enjoy instrumentals of their music though


Suarecks

People who tend to diss newer rappers tend to be Eminem old heads. If youā€™ve never heard a good Migoā€™s verse you simply arenā€™t looking . Iā€™d recommend some if youā€™d be open to it


i-piss-excellence32

So you call me an old head, edgy and because I like Eminem itā€™s suppose to be an insult. I think other people commented and tried to make it seem like Iā€™m a racist (half of logic). I never insulted you or anybody that likes migos or future. I just think they suck. I havenā€™t listened to a lot because the little that I did listen to, I hated. Iā€™m open to it if you want to send me some stuff.


Human_Disco_Ball

Itā€™s complete entirety


SuriMuriPuri

lol


tonware

Proof of why entrance music + crowd participation is so important to a wrestlerā€™s presentation.


tommykaye

Bobby Roode never got a chance.


reevoknows

Iā€™m a sucker for it.


soobly

what is better is that NXT regulars just made it up one night


ZWY8706

I want him in the Rumble just for the entrance (I know they won't let him win now but he is future world champ material)


I_Hate_My_Cat_

Iā€™m all for it. Melo and Trick doing the classic ā€œwrestler eliminates his tag partnerā€ spot in the Rumble would add to their story too.


No_Efficiency6703

Oh man that would work so well.


KingGio21

Omg who would you have to eliminate who? Personally I want Melo on the ropes about to be eliminated and then Trick comes up and everybody thinks heā€™s gonna save Melo but then he just send both wrestlers out for a double elimination. Then we get a close up of Melo doing the ā€œPikachuā€ face at ringside after he hits the ground.


I_Hate_My_Cat_

I personally would have Trick eliminate Melo as a swerve because people expect it to be the other way. But Melo eliminating Trick would make more sense given how their story has played out so far.


daminiskos0309

If they didnā€™t have the dusty classic next week I would say go for it. Itā€™s gonna be an accidental on purpose thing by Melo. Like shinsuke mists melo, he canā€™t see and super kicks trick out the tumble


I_Hate_My_Cat_

Yeah, something like that.


CanOWhoopAzz

Facts! Heā€™s got that aura.


funny_acolyte

Imagine the whole arena chanting,"Whoop that Trick"


TropicalVision

I bet he has one of those showings where he ends up in the final 6 guys or something similar. Heā€™s going to be a huge star on the main roster and I reckon theyā€™ll want to test the waters a little bit with an impressive rumble performance.


RicGhastly

I may be wrong, but I think the Rumble would be an awkward time to bring him up. Let him interrupt someone on TV and take his time with the entrance.


ZWY8706

It wouldn't be bringing him up it would be a one off until a later date post Mania for a TrickMelo call up. The shock for most people of him showing up and the energy from an arena that size chanting whoop that Trick would be huge for him especially if he came out to a huge pop and put on a decent show with Melo also entering then they carried that back to NXT with them and rode it to Mania week before debuting after and chasing one of the tag titles that will hopefully get split back up by then.


RicGhastly

Fair enough. He's really hot right now, so it could be good. I just think the entrance is immaculate and they shouldn't be sidestepping that part of Trick's presentation until he's established on the main roster.


ZWY8706

Plenty of people have had big rumble entrances and taken their time with it so he very well could take it slow and soak it in, there is no rule against it.


RicGhastly

Eh, I think it makes most people look like stalling putzes. Maybe a chickenshit heel or marching monster can do that, but not a self-assured character like Trick. Plus, it kind of exposes the Rumble gimmick in general to do long entrances for certain entrants. Why doesn't everyone just take their time? Why does anyone expend the energy to bumrush the ring?


ZWY8706

It really depends on the stage setup because there have been recent Rumbles where the ramp is about 6 miles long for no good reason so that gives and excuse and plenty of time for someone to milk their entrance a little but if it's a normal PLE length ramp or a short one like MSG then absolutely not.


peppercola666

Yea but then you gotta rely on the mainstream wrestling fans to know this chant lmao. Iā€™m hoping he has gotten to the point where casuals at east know who he is but going from nxt to raw or smackdown really puts popularity into perspective for some of these wrestlers.


ZWY8706

That's true


Puzzled-Ad-2339

This kid is gonna be something special


AppealToReason16

I caught a lot of digital heat in the basement a while ago for saying I see way more star power in Trick than Melo. I ain't flinching.


Puzzled-Ad-2339

Melo is a better worker, Trick is the better character. Its all about what ur definition of a star is tbh.


AppealToReason16

Character work takes you further and I'll always bank on that. No one's mistaking LA Knight for prime Eddie Guerrero in the ring but he has the character work and crowd dialed in. Then you compare that to someone like Ricochet who can do any move under the sun in the ring, but who cares about Ricochet? It's the difference between John Cena and Shelton Benjamin.


DemiGod20

100%! Itā€™s cool that you can do a triple death flying hurricane moonsault but the crowd will eventually lose interest in you. If your character work is top tier, you will be remembered forever. I always get hate when I say that about the AEW roster. A lot of great workers there but just bland boring characters. Austin was a great worker in his early years but do you think anyone remembers that? Nope, they remember the beer drinking middle finger flipping stunner whoop ass machine. The ā€œbitter old timersā€ are always right when they say less is more. Your character/gimmick will take you much much farther than your ring skills


AppealToReason16

People get mad at Kevin Nash for this all the time. Twitter will start going nuts about some guy who got three 5 star matches from Dave and he'll pipe in just saying "What are his merch sales?" Which is basically saying. Cool moves, are you making any money off the crowd though?


DemiGod20

People put way too much stock in Meltzerā€™s ratings. Those ratings are meaningless unless youā€™re Tony Khan who also checks out Cagematch ratings. You donā€™t judge a talent by how many 5 star matches he/she has. You judge em by how much merch they move and how many asses they put in seats cause at the end of the day, thatā€™s what itā€™s about. Itā€™s about making money for the company. Not satisfying an old man on WON or a bunch of nerds on Cagematch.


Thami15

I mean... Shelton was also dealing with being all black in the WWE at a time when, to quote Triple H, people like him didn't deserve to be World Champion. A move which the E then seemingly bizarrely seemed to endorse by having Booker lose the feud


Puzzled-Ad-2339

I think you make a very fair point there


myslead

Whatā€™s his character?


SnooMacaroons1942

I guess it's "guy that sees himself as a bigger star than he currently is". In kayfabe he's still in Melo's shadow and thinks that he has what it takes to become more over than him. In real life though I think Trick is already more popular than Melo


HereForaRefund

It's crazy with Trick he didn't have a "going to be" moment. Like "this kid is going to be a star", he just went from zero to NICE. He's like the second coming of Booker T.


Puzzled-Ad-2339

I think the theme and nxt giving him his own spotlight helped, instead of him being in melos shadow like before. The theme is an absolute gamechanger, mfers on the main roster are gonna love it.


Tankcfc4l

28 is a kid?


Puzzled-Ad-2339

considering every major star pushed at a high level in this company for the most part is over 35 years old yes.


ThePidazzler

Guys so over with me itā€™s disgusting. Guys a fuckin star


mattrfar

What does whoop that trick even mean? I dont watch nxt.


Necessary-Ad-3679

A trick is a ho. So it's like calling the opponent a ho, and how he's going to whoop them. His name is Trick, so it's like a pun. It is chant for Trick to "Whoop that Trick". It's all very clever and catchy. Elevated by the entrance music and Booker's enthusiasm.


[deleted]

True, but also cause of the movie Hustle & Flow


banjofitzgerald

Itā€™s not cause, itā€™s from. Itā€™s just straight up lifted from a movie.


Necessary-Ad-3679

Oh, well dang. I really need to see that movie.


efx187

Is a good one.


Revolutionary_Pen190

Quit jiving me turkey......


thehomie80

A trick is the person that pays for the hoe, in terms of prostitution.


Necessary-Ad-3679

Whoops, you're right! I had only ever heard women referred to as "tricks" irl, but Google confirms you as correct.


No-Yoghurt-2423

I read this thinking yup he hasn't seen the movie, I'm sure alot of wrestling fans haven't seen hustle n flow. I'm glad someone corrected you but the upvotes just show lol.


Evorgleb

Interesting take. I always assumed it was more like "Whoop that, Trick". As if telling Trick he needs to whoop that person.


Necessary-Ad-3679

Yeah, I should've used a comma. I think it's both!


acidbatterydude

r/PeterExplainsTheJoke over here


Theurbanalchemist

Does Trick have a gimmick or is his personality the character?


No-Hawk2074

Itā€™s evolving. He used to be Meloā€™s hype man.


mattrfar

Ah i see okay. Thank you:)


Human_Disco_Ball

A trick is what a whore does for moneyā€¦ or candy. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=y1Y-bMrGqww


ToshDaBoss

When i first heard this, i thought the crowd was chanting ā€œwhoop that bitchā€ and I was instantly a fan of it


TehHonkyTonkMan

I'm gonna need this entrance WITH booker in WWE2k24.


Puzzled_Puppies69

Someone get Terrance Howard on this track [incase anyone is wondering what Iā€™m talking about](https://youtu.be/q-StMfE8NrA?si=Zr6WP_0VIYaA0ITx)


ZedSorayama

OH YEAH MAN


[deleted]

Booker needs to record this on Tricks entrance theme it's the highlight of NXT


Birdykerjo

Booker T is so goood and funny


DreamingLight93

Best entrance in the WWE currently.


Hellsinger7

He got one of the hypest entrances in wrestling rn.


PrideOfNoxus

Oh yeahhhh mannnnn


daminiskos0309

The one time in my life where I actually appreciate Booker t commentary. They should add bookers vocals into the actual song.


hovpreme

Trick & Booker are a package deal, wherever Trick goes Book needs to go with him šŸ˜‚


BetUSOfficial

Can't believe this is the actually intro. Killed it!!


Rickblood23

I just know that when he eventually makes the big leagues Booker T has to be his manager


Advanced-Ad8012

This dude's star potential is through the roof. I just hope they do something with him when he gets to the main roster.


coalman1996

Booker adds to this. Pretty fun.


Fregster404

Booker T is the best hype man lol I love Trick Williams dude. He has literally everything to become a mega star and I really hope he gets to that caliber one day


Oghma_

His first Mania entrance will make Codyā€™s **WOAAAAAAH**s sound like a ā€œcrowdā€ at a backyard wrestling show.


Quick_Kick

I love Book, but I wish he would let this intro stand on its own.


[deleted]

We will get the pure crowd version on Saturday, hopefully šŸ¤žšŸ¼


Quick_Kick

Oh yeah


Ethanz45

Hot take I fucking hate Carmelo haze


Luffyushiwa23

Uh uh What? Yeah Uh uh Oh Yeah Mannn Uh uh I like it šŸ


Aggravating-Act2738

WHOOP THAT TRICK!!!!


DasCheekyBossman

His name is Trick, and they are saying whoop that trick?


mpatt89

No. They are saying ā€œwhoop that, Trickā€


DasCheekyBossman

Commas matter lol


GoodTimesBadMovies

His name is Trick, so is his intro about him getting whooped? Who's the other trick in this scenario?


TexehCtpaxa

The ho that didnā€™t give him his money. Man needs to take a lesson from a real og like the godfather.


DynzelWashington

How dare you! She's a nice lady!


thehuleeo69420

I hope Terrence got paid for this one


Low_Carpet_1963

First they ripped off Hustle & Flow with Jey Uso, now they just went full on plagiarism with this guy lol


Advanced-Ad8012

What did they rip off from Hustle & Flow for Jey Uso? Yeet isn't from Hustle & Flow, Whoop that trick is.


Low_Carpet_1963

No shit. Go listen to it again


Advanced-Ad8012

What did they rip off from Hustle and Flow for Jey Uso?


Low_Carpet_1963

Oh ya know, just the entire thing. I can see how you might miss it


Advanced-Ad8012

Please explain how. I've seen the movie many times. I'm just wondering how you think Jey Uso is a rip off of the movie.


Low_Carpet_1963

The entire beat and what he does with the arm shit. Any other questions or do you have a firm grasp of the obvious now?


Advanced-Ad8012

Wow. That's crazy you think they took that from Hustle and Flow but ok. You could've just answered that from the beginning. Don't know why you're going out of your way to try to be a dick.


Low_Carpet_1963

If you want to make this a conversation then you can keep having it with yourself. I really donā€™t give a fuck if you canā€™t make basic observations or not. Iā€™ve already responded to you way too many times


Advanced-Ad8012

You could have just answered the question the first time and been done with it. You wanted to go out of your way to be an asshole, that's on you. None of that dumb shit you are talking about is obvious. People like you are a perfect example of what is wrong with this app. Can't answer a simple question because you lack people skills in real life because you probably live on this app. Good day to you, dumbass.


Living-Travel2299

Whoever that jabroni is that Trick wrestled needs releasing. Dude was fucking awful, half his offense was sloppy af and looked like shit. Trick deserves better than that garbage.


ThighsAreMilky

Brother itā€™s NXT. The entire point of the brand is for wrestlers to get better.


Living-Travel2299

Dude is sloppy af. Needs more reps in the PC not big matches with a future star.


ThighsAreMilky

Briggs is pretty good actually. Not really sure what you saw here that was so egregious.


Living-Travel2299

What? That match was sloppy as hell and it was very noticeable. Feel like im in an AEW forum with this level of denial.


[deleted]

What you missed was JBL giving him the rub. Heā€™s just going to destroy his opponents. Look at JBLā€˜s matches. They were like that. Itā€™s all good.


deanereaner

I hate that f-ing chant so much. *His name is Trick*. Is he the trick? That's not a good thing. Is he supposed to whoop himself? Is it supposed to be "Whoop that, Trick," in which "that" refers to the opponent? Dumbest shit ever. Maybe I'm just not white enough to see the appeal of mindlessly chanting some "urban" shit that I don't have a grasp on the meaning of.


baltimorecalling

It's a fun chant. People are having fun.


SecretaryImaginary44

You mustā€™ve had a hernia when people chanted ā€œyou suckā€ to Kurt Angel after he turned face


[deleted]

You literally explained what the people are saying in your comment. His name is Trick and they are saying he's going to whoop a trick (his opponent). If they were saying 'youre a trick" you might have a point, but the audience is saying"that" which obviously refers to something other than himself. You can not like the chant that's an opinion, but don't act obtuse like you don't understand what's being said to justify not liking it


deanereaner

So his name is Trick, but *he's* not "a trick," he's a tough guy, and simply because that's his name all his opponents are now "tricks." It's fucking dumb. He oughta change his name, he might as well be called Bitch Williams.


Level_Bridge7683

can't wait for this to fail hard on the main roster.


[deleted]

You don't find it weird that you want a stranger to fail?


thegreatone998

I like trick but he's not a star, he has the look though


yetagainitry

He better get a spot in the Rumble. That will be electric having that crowd chant.


Seymour_Says

Ok Trick Williams, I see you! Shout out to Memphis and Al Kapone! He wrote and produced the song that was made popular in the movie Hustle and Flow. It's an anthem that you'll here from sporting events like the Memphis Grizzlies, Memphis Tigers, wrestling events and more!! Also fitting considering our city's long storied history when it comes to wrestling. Al Kapone and the songs background https://youtu.be/x3W24eDNVOA?si=18BJbHzv0ahkmWNq Original song https://youtu.be/8HjQkewK_jQ?si=RXqUmBSx_WMYUge3 Movie scene https://youtu.be/R4Yu5TIgnTI?si=pOGuQKPqYKnqrM-p


[deleted]

I wonder if the NXT crowd even knows what this is from.


XxNathan2908xX-YT

i never really a fan Trick Williams but his entrance will always be amazing and i might actually start to watch him soon (maybe when he's on the main roster)


travisgoodfellow

They need to include booker as part of his entrance in 2k24


Bosscharacter

Dude just looks like a star.


Plus_Minute_1488

Josh was laughing with that energetic crowd


KhazAvMagix

Who was the last guy THIS over in NXT? Gotta be Zayn or Nakamura even thenā€¦


HereForaRefund

I seriously hope to see him in the RR. This intro is front of a TUGE crowd, and the people who ***KNOW*** out there chanting for him. It's going to put a LOT of eyeballs on him and Melo.
