Ugliest Trident Ever?

So this came from Guy Guidry who called it the "Ugliest Trident Ever"! I think that might have been a little melodramatic, what do you think.
It needs all new branches, of course. I hope to experiment on it and give it a little more of a naturalistic image. I nice rounded canopy and in the future a much nicer pot. The round is really more of a training pot for this tree.
You can see in the first photo why you should not put your plastic training pots on the ground. It obviously grew quite vigorously... right out of it's pot!
The roots were trimmed without mercy, most everything was pruned and then some very basic wire was put on.
With a great deal of time, this could turn into a very nice tree.
