Montez Ford has one of the most beautiful frog splashes in professional wrestling, but did you know that he’s actually afraid of heights?
The Street Profits member recently sat down with Denise Salcedo to discuss a wide variety of subjects. When asked about his frog splash, Ford revealed that he chose the move not only to pay homage to those who did it before him but the fact that he’s also afraid of heights.
“That’s why I chose it as my finishing move,” Montez Ford said. “Paying homage to all the greats that did it before me, Eddie Guerrero, Rob Van Dam but yes every single time {he’s afraid}. I treat it the way Batman treats bats like Batman is afraid of bats so he wears a batsuit to spark his fear into everyone else. So I chose the frog splash because I am afraid of heights, so I use that fear onto everyone else. So that’s a little secret there I don’t think I’ve ever said that before.”
This weekend will be the first WrestleMania that will see The Street Profits work in front of the WWE Universe. Being involved in a multi-tag team match feels like a “full-circle” moment for Ford.
“So what’s so crazy is my favorite Wrestlemania moment was the actual first one my mom got us on pay-per-view, which was Wrestlemania 2000,” Montez Ford revealed. “I remember the classic TLC match from there, with all the tag teams, so it’s crazy that now it’s full circle that my first Wrestlemania {with audience} is in a tag match with multiple tag teams. So just to see it come full circle like that, I think that’s wild. I would say that is my first actual imprinted like Wrestlemania moment and for me to now be part of a moment that I cherished as a kid is mind-blowing.”
