WWE star Montez Ford has opened up about the frustration he has felt with regards to the booking of the Street Profits tag team.
It has been close to four years since Ford and Angelo Dawkins last held gold and, while the Street Profits are a regular presence on SmackDown, their most recent match on a premium live event was at WrestleMania 40 (on April 7).
Speaking with The Daily Mail, Ford noted that despite WWE being his dream job, he's not entirely satisfied with his current situation, saying:
"For me to sit here and go like, how's it going, that it's good, that'd be a lie. There's always pleasure in doing what you love, what you admire, what you have dreamt of, what you have goals in and passion for, but it does get to that sense of frustration where anything you try to accomplish in life, where you may feel like it's either taking too long, or it's been too long, or nothing's happening".
"I'm not going to lie and say I don't sit here and watch all the comments and everything. I watch everything. We're not in conversations when it comes to top tag teams. We're not in conversations when it comes to anything wrestling-related besides the fact of getting handled by The Bloodline, and that doesn't sit well with me. So as well as is it is going in terms of being my dream job, it is enjoyable as it is frustrating".
Continuing, the 34-year-old cited the team's alliance with Bobby Lashley as an example of the 'stop and go' approach to how the Street Profits have been booked.
"All these things are running, we have a WrestleMania win, and then boom, it just stops. And it's been this constant stop and go and stop and go and stop and go with the Profits where we'll get momentum and then the momentum will stop, then momentum will start again, and the momentum will stop. And for us, that's frustrating, because it's hard to get behind a team whose momentum starts and then it shifts again", Ford said. In 2022, there were reports that WWE wanted to break up the Street Profits and push Ford as a singles star, months after The Rock singled him out for special praise.
