Surprising WWE Star Is World Champion Material
A WWE superstar known for being a tag team wrestler believes he is World Champion material.
During his entire WWE career, which started nearly a decade ago, Montez Ford has been part of the Street Profits tag team with Angelo Dawkins. Both men are tremendous athletes who know how to put on a show while also earning the respect of the fans.
While The Street Profits have had a lot of success as a team as NXT, Raw, and Smackdown Tag Team Champions, they also haven’t held any titles in over four years.
On WWE Smackdown in Brooklyn, The Street Profits beat Pretty Deadly in a tag team match while the announcers wondered if they could be a championship team again.
Montez Ford spoke to the Daily Star about his current spot in WWE, which has led to some frustrations for Ford based on his current spot.
“Been the same tag team, we’ve been doing the same things. Have the same passion, actually upped my training to be in the best shape of my life and still no success so now all these questions are popping up in my head like, ‘What I need to get rid of? What I need to add? What do I need to subtract? What am I doing wrong? What do I need to change?’
And that’s where I’m at now, because I’m not old, but I’m also not young either and these are all the things that are going through my head right now where I’m so fixated on anything in life that I put so much work into it. I don’t see results, I shift. Because insanity is doing the same thing and expecting results. I’m not insane. I’m crazy, but I ain’t insane. So I think that’s the main thing.”
As he continued, Montez Ford made it clear that he believes he has what it takes to be a World Champion in WWE.
“Right now, just looking at where do I need to be at? And where I need to go and getting rid of the excess fat that is hindering me from being the person I know I can be which is a World Heavyweight Champion, which is a World Champion.
I know that, I can say that. Now, there’s no doubt, there’s no unconfidence in that. I know that I’m a World Champion, I’m a World Champion, I know I’m World Heavyweight Champion-material and nobody can take that away from me. But, that time is when I feel — and like I said, it could be on the cusp of that right now. But my frustration has reached its fulfillment or I feel like I’ve closed this chapter where I feel like there’s nothing else to do in this chapter because I’ve tried for every single thing for this to continue to be successful.”
Would Montez Ford Be Willing To Move On Without Angelo Dawkins In WWE?
Regarding The Street Profits team, Montez Ford is still focused on Angelo Dawkins, but he has made it clear he’s willing to go on his own.
“I think one (rumor I’ve seen about myself that I’d like to shut down) is — oh yeah, I did see this one recently… And I think back to what you was asking earlier. They were saying, ‘Montez Ford doesn’t really wanna go solo because he’s afraid of leaving his partner.’ Now, I’m not afraid of anything. I’m not afraid of leaving my partner or anything like that.
This is what I’ve been put to do since I’ve been here. I’ve been trying to make the best of this situation, just like anyone in life. What I’m doing in the WWE is no different from what anyone does in life. Whatever cards you’re dealt, you make the best of it.
But once you get comfortable, you get success in a certain area, you get confident and you start trying and you want to protrude out and go into other areas that you could possibly be successful in. But I think one thing I’d like to debunk is me being nervous or scared to leave Dawks. It’s not the case.”
Montez Ford also said recently that while working for WWE is his dream job, it is also frustrating as well.
