Pivot Family! hit the button to SUBSCRIBE HERE: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUnxiP7q4RDDyeioZFZLnXA?sub_confirmation=1 “I had to go through the fire to be exactly who I’m supposed to be.”- Trick Williams In this special pre-WrestleMania episode of The Pivot Podcast, WWE Superstar Trick Williams pulls up in his lemon pepper steppers showing out for Ryan, Channing and Fred in a powerful, wide-ranging conversation that goes far beyond the ring, giving a rare glimpse of the same flair and energy that has captivated million around the world. Trick shocks us all sharing a full circle moment, from when he was a young boy having a run-in with Fred to sitting across from him now and how that impacted him forever. He opens up about his journey from the football field—where he played under legendary coach Steve Spurrier—to finding his true calling in professional wrestling, and how that athletic foundation shaped his mindset and work ethic in WWE. Trick dives into the importance of bringing culture, authenticity, and charisma to sports entertainment, explaining how he’s helping redefine what it means to be a modern superstar. He breaks down how his signature chant, “Whoop That Trick,” organically caught fire with fans and evolved into a full-blown WWE phenomenon—turning arenas electric, call-and-response moments that showcase his undeniable connection with the crowd. He even reflects on a surreal co-sign moment with Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson —an unforgettable stamp of respect that signaled Trick’s arrival on the big stage. As he reflects on his upbringing and the deep influence of his family, especially his mother, Trick attributes his mom's strength and guidance key into molding him into the man he is today. The conversation also touches on love and partnership, as Trick shares insight into his relationship with his fiancée, who’s also a wrestler, and how they balance ambition, support, and the grind of the business together. With WrestleMania this week, Trick speaks candidly about the biggest matches of his career ahead, the pressure, the opportunity, and the legacy he’s determined to build. The true epitome of the word Pivot, Trick's compelling story is a lesson to all, that even when one door closes, never be afraid to kick another one down, because doing the unimaginable might end up being your true calling all along.

Got to meet trick and lash legend 2 weeks ago at the airport in Orlando when TSA lines were a disaster. I asked for a picture and he said I could take one with them right after they got through TSA. Him and his Lash Legend waited for me to get through TSA and did take the picture. They could have just dipped but they waited and I really appreciated that. They are really nice people and I’m grateful to have met them both.
