Business has certainly picked up in the WWE tag team division recently as the Motor City Machine Guns debuted a few weeks ago and they already established themselves as a top team by winning the WWE Tag Team Titles. One team that hasn’t been getting nearly as much attention as of late is The Street Profits.
Montez Ford recently spoke to Daily Mail about where The Street Profits currently stand, and he admitted that there’s some frustration regarding their current status.
“You’ve got new faces showing up on the scene, and our audience naturally tends to forget what we’ve done and how we’ve done it. In the now, it is at the point where it’s been almost four years since we’ve been tag team champions.”
“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 enjoying as it is frustrating.”
Ford also talked about how Bobby Lashley’s departure has impacted The Street Profits when he added, “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.”
“This is a business at the end of the day. You can get into a faction. I have aspirations and passions and things I want to do, but if the other people that I’m attached to don’t have the same mentality, then it can fail. They can be having dreams or aspirations of being champion, or leaving or not renewing contracts or doing whatever else it is, but it’s not the same mindset of whatever I have going on. So I always take it as whatever you’re involved with just be prepared for it to shift, because everyone may not have the same mindset as you have.”
