During a recent edition of the “Busted Open After Dark” podcast, WWE NXT World Champion Trick Williams commented on being tired of being disrespected, people not respecting his journey, and more.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On being tired of the disrespect: “I’m sick of being disrespected. I came into the business and they tell me to shake everybody’s hand. They tell me, ‘Pay your dues. Show respect.’ The minute you shake everybody’s hand, the minute you’re nice and have a smile on your face, they think you’re soft and they can walk straight over you.”
On people not respecting his journey: “Don’t get it twisted. I’m a grown-ass man and I’ve been through a lot to get here. People don’t respect my journey and I don’t understand that, but I have no problem lining up against any man and showing them what I’m about. Win, lose, or draw, it’s not about that. I’m going to stand up for what I believe.”
During a recent edition of his “Lex Expressed” podcast, former WWE and WCW wrestler Lex Luger commented on taking part in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in 1994.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On being part of the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in 1994: “To be a part of that. Oh my gosh, yeah, one of my greatest memories, we did this through the draw. It was freezing cold and the wind that day was mind-boggling. I was Mr. Buffalo, a New York guy. They offered me little warmers, like gloves [you could put] in your shoes. I’m like, ‘I’m from Buffalo.’ But, man, when you go through those streets, the wind howls through those buildings, by the time you’re in the float, and you get from the back to right in front of the Macy’s, you’ve been out and exposed for hours I don’t know if I’ve ever been so cold,” he recalled. “I grew up in Buffalo, New York my entire life. I couldn’t feel my feet from the mid-shin down where I was frozen in ice blocks. I thought I might have had frostbite.”
On fearing Undertaker injured himself on the float: “It was all worth it. One camera shot of us coming down. People send that to me all the time on Thanksgiving, that shot of me on the float with the guys. Funny little side note. We were goofing around. Everybody wanted to get the best camera shot on the float. Undertaker went to climb up higher than the rest of us, like he needed to, he’s so tall anyway. He started climbing up on the float, and what he was climbing on broke, and he fell down, and I thought he maybe injured himself. We were laughing. We made the best of it. Great memories. We had a great time.”
