Montez Ford is gonna be the f'n man

[msc]

We don't appear to have a thread on him, but as the weeks and months of the Street Profits actually getting TV time carry on, I'm becoming more and more convinced that we have a future star on our hands here. Whenever they show up, the eye is immediately drawn on Montez Ford. He's always doing something in character. He's got the talk. He's got the walk. He's got the character. He can go in the ring and he has a properly sweet Frog Splash. A springboard Frog Splash FFS! He sold so well during the now forgotten Andrade feud last summer Twitter legit thought he'd collapsed for real.

I'm saying it - Montez Ford has ALL the tools and will only get better, and is going to be a future World Champion. Doesn't matter in which of the major companies, it's going to happen. This guy's gonna be a star.

Held off on this thread for a few weeks assuming someone else would make it tbh...

Dude's a freak athlete and has the skills to be a big player, but holy hell is his gimmick obnoxious and it does genuinely hold me back on the guy.

I really love him as a talent, I just need him to tone things down a few notches.

[Mayonnaise]

I really like him, he tightens up a bit in the ring and he'll be damn near undeniable.

This idea is probably too out there for WWE, but I'd have Montez win the IC title from Apollo while continuing to team with Dawkins.

[dbrussel]

With Triple H in charge no doubt. With Vince.... I dont know, he could be the eternal midcarder

New Day is at least setting a bit of precedent that tag guys can thrive in singles divisions, between Kofi winning the WWE title as a New Day member, and Big E still being acknowledged as associated with New Day despite not being on the same show.

Granted, them being a trio still allows for members to pursue singles aspirations while still functioning as a tag team.

Split them up, refer to him as "The Best Pure Athlete in the WWE", and watch the money roll in.

[This Player Hating Mothman]

Ford has been the standout since NXT and barring scandal or catastrophe, he's money.

[GuyOfOwnage]

The only thing he really has to learn at this point, both in terms of ring and character work, is that sometimes, less is more. Once he gets that down, the sky's the limit, IMO.

[Pushed to the Moon]

I don't think I've ever seen any wrestler jump as high as he can.

[msc]

Ah here's that thread!

The f'n man, I guarantee it.

Rolled into the singles main event scene on Smackdown and looked like a regular at the top end of the card. Reigns even sold for the guy so clearly management are as high as his frog splashes on the guy.

I've been saying it... dude has all the tools to be a massive star.

But it's the WWE and they have a "great" track record with can't miss prospects...

[cfbsicko]

I agree that he's going to be a huge star, if not already is. He's the Eddie Murphy of wrestling and I am 100% on board. Dude is box office. Give this dude MITB and let him play around with the tag titles before cashing in.


He's insanely athletic and his enthusiasm is top-notch.

[King Devitt]

Yup, been actively saying it for years as well.

The Street Profits have been the only tag team I can think of that I've WANTED them to split up.

Can't wait til the albatross of Dawkins is off of Ford's back so he can soar.

Literally.

[floundertime]

Well the draft is coming up, so time to break up the street profits.

[joeiscool]

He's going to go far cause he's not just wrestling cool like a murphy or Cesaro. He has what WWE is looking for.

imo he'll be a massive star, in WWE or elsewhere. Younger wrestlers who can wrestle and talk are still a relative rarity.

[Savage Gambino]

I just hope WHEN they put the strap on him, Bianca is Women's Champ at the same time. They could be huge as individual stars, but they have a lot of potential as WWE's power couple, too.
