Montez Ford will be ready when he's given the ball.
Montez Ford is tabbed by many as being a breakout singles star given the talent and charisma he has displayed alongside Angelo Dawkins in the Street Profits.
Speaking to Ariel Helwani on the MMA Hour, Ford was asked why he hasn't been given more of a push as a singles talent.
"I think it’s just time. Everything is time. Everything is time. One of the main things I always make sure of, no matter what happens, is that I’m ready. At any given time, it can be time to go. One of the main things I always make sure of is that I’m ready. I’ve been ready since I was young, holding up all these WWE Championships as a kid saying, ‘This is going to happen one day. It’s going to happen. I don’t know when, but it’s going to happen,’ and just having that resonate in my mind so no matter what happens in WWE, whether I’m with the Street Profits, whether I’m with Bobby Lashley and Angelo Dawkins and my wife [Bianca Belair]. It’s going to happen. I’ve always manifested that, and I know once the ball gets put in my court, I’m scoring. I’m doing Wilt Chamberlain numbers," he said.
Asked if he ever loses patience, Ford replied, "No. I think it’s more of not impatience, but more motivation. It literally lights a fire within me every time she does something. ‘That’s amazing.’ I’m so amped up about it and it gives me motivation to push the bar and the envelope even more when it is time to do so. Every year, I’m always chipping off the negative things I don’t need to do anymore in my life. So, another year that it hasn’t happened, then I start chipping away tat hings that I need to do away with. Whether it’s making me advance in life or holding me down, I’m getting rid of everything that is negative so the closer and closer for the time that it is to get there, I have no flaws. I have nothing holding me back. Just always staying prepared for when the time happens. That’s why I’m so calm."
Ford is currently aligned with Angelo Dawkins & Bobby Lashley. They have been clashing with the Final Testament (Karrion Kross, Akam & Rezar) on WWE SmackDown.
Bianca Belair & Montez Ford are set to star in "Love & WWE," which premieres on Hulu on February 2. Fans can view the trailer by clicking here.
