In an interview with WGN News (via Fightful), Trick Williams spoke about how close his onscreen character is to who he is in his actual life.
He said: “Man, honestly, I feel like, the best thing you can be yourself. Like every single time I get on TV, every single time in that ring, I make sure I turn it up some. But man, everything you see is who I’ve been my whole life. So I think that’s just luckily it connects with the audience. But I never tried to force the audience to do anything. I just let people who I am.“
