Montez Ford has largely been a tag team wrestler, as part of The Street Profits with Angelo Dawkins. However, he has been proven to the world that he can excel as a singles star and Ford now believes a singles push is just a matter of time now.
Monez Ford also previously stated that he wants to become WWE Champion if The Street Profits break up. The Rock also gave Montez very encouraging message in the past that helped his confidence in a big way.
While speaking with the MMA Hour, Montez Ford discussed not receiving a sustained singles push in WWE and explained why he remains patient and motivated. Ford briefly experienced a singles push last year, when he was part of the Elimination Chamber match last year.
“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.’
”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. 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.”
Ford expressed motivation rather than impatience, emphasizing that he uses each year to eliminate negative aspects of his life. He remains focused on being prepared for when the right opportunity arises.
”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 at things 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.“
Montez Ford also gave male fans reality check about body image. Regardless, fans would love to see Montez Ford get a singles push, so we’ll have to wait and see when that will happen.
