What is 'the smoke' and why do Street Profits always want it?
It's a question on the minds of many and it's a question Montez Ford answered in an interview with Tony Maglio of The Wrap.
"Of course you do, man," said Ford when asked if he [Maglio] wanted 'the smoke.' "So the thing about wanting the smoke is it’s a way of life. It’s a terminology that is, like, pretty much when I start my day, it’s a brand-new day. I’m blessed that it’s a brand-new day that I haven’t seen before. And we want the smoke is pretty much asking, whatever happens that day, whether you got to pay a bill, whether you got to go to work, whether you got a really hard CrossFit workout, whether it’s a deadline you gotta meet, whether it’s a board you have to go on, or a competition, or anything you have to do in which you have to excel, we want to smoke it like, alright just bring it. It’s another way of saying bring whatever has coming to me. You know?"
Life has brought The Street Profits many things over the past few weeks on WWE television including golf, bowling, and ax-throwing. The Raw Tag Team Champions have engaged with The Viking Raiders in a game of "anything you can do, we can do better" to prove who is the superior team.
On the subject of teaming with Angelo Dawkins, Ford was asked about the right time to potentially split a team.
He replied, "When is the right time for a tag team… I think when one of the individuals starts feeling themselves. I think when one of them starts feeling themselves and the other individual is going like, ‘You know what? I’m better than this guy. I’m way better than this guy. I’m sick of this guy. He’s late. He doesn’t try to do anything. He doesn’t work. He’s not trying to be No. 1. He’s not trying to be champion. He’s not trying to be on TV Guide, TheWrap. He’s not trying to have interviews at 2:30 in the afternoon. He’s not trying to be No. 1 in the press. He’s not trying to be God. He’s not trying to do anything.’ I think that’s when it starts coming to the point where it’s like, OK, when one of the guys feel like they have accessed me, if they have got to trim the fat, then I think that’s when it’s like OK. When other guys feeling themselves, when the egos start showing up, I think that’s when it’s time to cut the cord. But right now there’s no egos, ‘case [Angelo] Dawkins is a pretty hefty guy, so I can’t really defend too many of the big guys when it comes to like some type of in-ring competition. So he’s probably gonna be around me for a long time."
The outside-the-ring battle between the Street Profits and Viking Raiders will come to an end on Monday when the two teams compete in a decathlon.
