During an edition of Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer of F4WOnline.com was critical of WWE NXT star Trick Williams when he made the following comments…

“Trick isn’t that good, that’s the reality. He’s got incredible charisma, but you put him in a main event match… Granted he did look really good against Ilja [Draganov], but Ilja is one of those people that gives you a false perception of the ability of the other person, it’s like wrestling Ric Flair or a tag team wrestling the Young Bucks, you always look better…”

Via Twitter/X, Meltzer clarified his remarks. Meltzer said Williams is “actually said super charismatic and a great talker, but not at Ilja’s level inside the ring.”

WWE star Baron Corbin issued a response to what Meltzer said…

“Trick is dope and gets better every time he steps in the ring! Charisma connects you to the people, the people buy your merch and tune in to see you. They don’t give a shit if you’re the best technical wrestler ever. Trick will be extremely successful.”
