Booker T Backs WWE Getting Rights to ‘Whoop That Trick’ from Hustle & Flow

WWE Hall of Famer Booker T has been a vocal supporter of WWE NXT star Trick Williams, and he’s been there to offer guidance as Williams continues his rise in the company.

During his Hall of Fame podcast, Booker T expressed his admiration for Trick and even suggested an idea that could elevate his persona further.

Booker mentioned that he likes the idea of WWE acquiring the rights to the song “Whoop That Trick,” famously featured in the movie Hustle & Flow, for Trick Williams’ entrance music. “That’s not a bad idea,”

Booker said. “I think they can purchase it. I don’t think it’s out of the realm. I would have to add lips to it to make it work,” he added with a laugh.

Booker T also acknowledged the challenges ahead for Trick Williams, especially in his pursuit of regaining a championship. “I’m looking forward to Trick getting the championship back, but it’s going to be an uphill climb,”

Booker noted. “Right now, we’ve got so many people in line chomping at the bit wanting a shot at that championship, so Trick is going to have to put in some work.”

With Booker’s continued support and guidance, Trick Williams’ journey in WWE NXT is one to watch.
