Trick Williams discussed Indiana Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton’s WWE run and said he’s impressed with him.
Halliburton has been one of the many celebrities to appear in WWE in recent years, and in a recent interview, “SLAM!The former NXT champion, who represented both Williams and Halliburton, praised his friend’s natural ability.
“I mean, my son is a natural. You know, you can tell he’s researching the product. He watches for a very, very long time. Because when the lights are on, he doesn’t drown,” Williams began. “It’s great to see him in his element. And, you know, he also has a history in the Garden. So that was pretty cool too. But, yeah, man, I’m proud of him.”
The NBA star appreciated Williams’ compliment and recalled his history in WWE and how Williams was one of the first with whom he collaborated in WWE. Halliburton was nervous but excited to get involved.
“My first time on WWE TV, or actually my second time on WWE TV, was with Trick and Ethan Page in NXT, which was a lot of fun for me. I was alone in the ring and said: You just have to figure it out. And it was fun for me. And Trick and I have been good ever since. So yeah, every time I do something on WWE TV, it’s fun,” Halliburton said. “It’s weird, me and Jay Brunson (Jalen Brunson) talk about this all the time. When you look like a celebrity, half the fans are excited and half the fans are sure you’re there.”
Halliburton said he wanted to be involved with WWE not to promote anything, but simply because he’s a pro wrestling fan. The Indiana Pacers star also addressed himself appearing in Saturday night’s main eventreiterating that as a celebrity, he wanted to contribute to the product, not take away from it.
