Shawn Michaels believes that Ethan Page will push Trick Williams to the limit during their NXT Championship match at the upcoming WWE NXT Halloween Havoc pay-per-view event, which takes place on Sunday night.
While appearing on a recent edition of the “Busted Open Radio” podcast, The Heartbreak Kid spoke with Bully Ray about the match and Ray’s belief that Williams is “missing one thing.”
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
Shawn Michaels on Bully Ray believing Williams is ‘missing one thing’: “[Bully Ray & I] can have a little bit of a difference of opinion when ‘he’s missing that one thing.’ I don’t know if he’s missing one thing, but this Devil’s Playground match he’s going to have with Ethan Page, Ethan has been doing this a long time. Yes, Trick has been in a cage match and a last man standing match, but not with guys the likes of Ethan Page. Ethan is going to push him in a way that the other two have not.”
On how Page will push Williams at Halloween Havoc: “It’s sometimes hard to help the viewer understand, I’m not talking ECW hardcore, but sometimes there is a limit you have to be able to push a talent to from a hardcore, ‘How rough and rugged are you? How much are you willing to put your body on the line out of love and passion for this job?’ That’s something, for me, that is going to get tested at Halloween Havoc. There are some things you can’t help and that is time and reps. That is something Trick has no control over. He’s getting a lot of variety in his three years. He’s done a lot of things. To do a lot of things once or twice is okay, but until you’ve learned to master all of them, there are going to sometimes feel like there are things missing.”
