Since debuting on WWE’s main roster, Trick Williams has been one of the must-see superstars.

Judging by public sentiment, he has left an unprecedented impact on viewers to the point that a retired wrestling veteran recently claimed that he makes them want to wrestle again.

Mark Henry revealed his impression of the former NXT Champion during a recent appearance on Busted Open Radio.

The World’s Strongest Man was in conversation with former WWE employee Jonathan Coachman, who appeared stunned by the reception Williams received during a SmackDown taping in Europe.

To this, Henry said that the 31-year-old makes him want to return to wrestling.

It’s been a long time since I felt like coming back to wrestling. This dude walking to the ring gets me fired up he makes me want to wrestle again. That’s the effect that Trick had on me.

It’s the energy and the smugness, the dude’s got it. He talks the talk, he walks the walk, he’s got the look. [H/T: WrestleTalk.com]

Mark Henry last competed at the Greatest Royal Rumble in Saudi Arabia in 2018.

Trick Williams Gets Take Out On WWE SmackDown

Last week’s SmackDown taping in London, England, ended with Trick Williams standing tall over Sami Zayn.

The January 23 episode, however, ended with Williams staring at the lights, courtesy of Randy Orton.

In the main event, Trick faced Damian Priest in a singles match. The two superstars exchanged offense throughout the match.

The closing minutes of the bout saw Williams throw Priest into Zayn, who was by the ringside.

After they went into the ring, Zayn followed them and attacked Williams, resulting in him winning by disqualification.

An irate Priest confonted Zayn as a fight broke out between the two. Trick capitalized by hitting the Trick Shot on Priest.

As he celebrated, Randy Orton slithered into the ring and hit him with an RKO before taking out Zayn, too, to end the show.

The four men will compete in a fatal four-way match at Saturday Night’s Main Event on January 24 to determine the #1 Contender for Drew McIntyre’s WWE Championship.
