Eric Bischoff: Trick Willams Has Barely Begun To Scratch The Surface Of His Potential

Eric Bischoff has high praise for the NXT roster, especially Trick Williams.

Eric Bischoff was recently on the December 3 episode of WWE NXT and hosted a segment that featured a confrontation between Trick Williams and Ridge Holland.

Eric Bischoff is now reflecting on his NXT appearance, saying during the most recent episode of his 83 Weeks that he was impressed with the women of NXT, Ridge Holland, and Trick Williams. Specifically, Bischoff said that Williams hasn’t even begun to scratch the surface of his potential.

“I was really impressed, and I think we’re going to be seeing — so the training facility, I think it had to be like 50/50 in terms of men and women. The pool of talent is so impressive that I think for years to come we’re going to be seeing a lot of great women’s action in both NXT and on either Raw or SmackDown, so get ready for that. Very, very impressed with the women’s division,” he said. “Trick, What a classy guy. Such a pleasure to work with, as well as Ridge. Ridge is a tough son of a gun, man. Twelve years, professional rugby player. That’s a tough human being.

“These guys are tough and I’m really impressed with both of them, but Trick Williams is just an amazing young man that has barely begun to scratch the surface of his potential, and he will get there,” said Eric Bischoff. “He’s a lot bigger than he looks, too. Once I stood next to him, it was like, ‘Oh my God, this guy’s huge.’ He’s got long arms, long legs, but a classy, classy guy, and he’s going to go far. I’m sure of it.”

Trick Williams defeated Ridge Holland for the WWE NXT Championship at NXT Deadline. Check out the full coverage for that event here.
