Trick Williams berättar om hur han 'följde The Rock' in i brottningskarriären

WWE-brottaren Trick Williams berättade hur en pastors predikan om att 'följa klippan' (the rock) övertygade honom om att satsa på professionell brottning. Historien kom fram i samband med reflektioner kring att fans ropade hans slagord 'Whoop That Trick' under The Rocks framträdande i ringen i Memphis inför WrestleMania 40. Williams är planerad att utmana Sami Zayn om WWE United States Title vid WrestleMania 42.

Trick Williams beskrev en vändpunkt i sitt liv under ett framträdande i podcasten The Pivot. Vid den tiden arbetade han som tränare för barn och som vikarierande lärare efter en uttagning till fotbollslaget Philadelphia Eagles. Han hade aldrig brottats tidigare och satt i kyrkan och grubblade över sin framtid när pastorn talade om vatten som kom ur klippan och gav rådet: 'Följ klippan'. Två veckor senare flyttade Williams till Philadelphia för att träna brottning, och lämnade bakom sig en 20-årig fotbollskarriär, vilket förbryllade en del följare som bara kände honom som den underhållande 'Sweet Daddy' Trick på nätet.
