During a recent interview with Shakiel Mahjouri for SHAK Wrestling, WWE Superstar Carmelo Hayes commented on the barber he recommended to Lexis King, and more.
For those who may not recall, King revealed several months ago that Hayes talked him into seeing his barber in the Orlando area.
You can check out some highlights from the interview below:
On the barber he recommended to Lexis King: “Yeah, well, he’s not my barber. It’s funny, I’ve been getting heat for that. He hit me up when he was coming in. He’s like, ‘Hey, I need a barber.’ I said, ‘Hey, here’s a guy.’ You need to put respect on this barber’s name because he owns a lot of shops in Orlando. He’s a very renowned barber, so he gets a lot of flak for that. I mean, that was a choice. That beard is a choice. But I did hook him up. But Trick, myself, we’ve all gone to this guy. He’s never done any of us dirty like he did Lexis [laughs]”
On King’s overall look: “I mean, I respected it. I respected the commitment. I think it was kind of outrageous, but like I said, he committed to the look, and you can’t knock him for that. It’s working for him, and people hate it, and that’s kind of what you want, right?”
During a recent interview with the Toronto Sun, WWE NXT World Champion Trick Williams commented on the odds being stacked against him in the Fatal 4-Way match that will be taking place at this Sunday night’s WWE NXT: Heatwave pay-per-view event.
You can check out some highlights from the interview below:
On learning Steve Austin’s catchphrase when he was three years old: “I was three years old and being a big fan of ‘Stone Cold’ Steve Austin, some of my first words apparently were opening a can of whoop ass. That got me in trouble and my parents have to turn off wrestling a little bit because I was learning some language that shouldn’t be said. That’s one of my first memories of wrestling.”
On his agent getting him a tryout for WWE NXT: “He sent my information there (and) the next day, I got an email from WWE saying ‘Hey, are you interested in coming to a tryout?’ At that time, I just never had thought about (becoming a) WWE superstar. I didn’t know anybody who’d taken the indies route.”
On his four opponents this weekend: “I can understand that hunger just as well as anybody, when you just want to prove yourself and make a name for yourself and you’re willing to put your body on the line to do so. can understand where Je’Von is, and I can understand that Ethan Page and Shawn Spears are coming home. The odds are stacked against me, but this is when I shine, this is when I show up the most, when it’s time for me to show who I really am. I’m the type of guy who’s not going to stop, who’s not going to quit until I get the job done.”
