Montez Ford reflects on his time teaming with Bobby Lashley earlier this year.
WWE Superstar Montez Ford recently spoke with Lewis Browning of Daily Mail. When asked about Bobby Lashley’s recent departure from the company and their time teaming together, Ford said he was glad it happened for a short period but also believes Lashley’s injury and eventual departure has hurt the Street Profit’s push in the company.
“I’m glad with what we had for the short period of time, B-Fab and the All Mighty when he was here,” Montez Ford said. “But what I took from that lesson is anything can happen. Anything can transition, anybody can leave, anybody can just depart at any time. And you kind of just have to pick up whatever’s left and just run with it. And that’s exactly what I’m doing right now.
“When all of those things were happening, we were very, very excited. Because he (Lashley) was somebody we looked up to, somebody I watched as a kid. And now I’m being paired with him, and he’s being my mentor, and he’s ushering us in this new chapter of The Street Profits. All these things are running, we have a WrestleMania win, and then boom, it just stops.
Monte Ford: Everyone May Not Have The Same Mindset As You
Ford went on to reiterate that wrestling was a business, and one had to be ready for things to change, as the people around you may not have the same mindset.
“This is a business at the end of the day. You can get into a faction,” Montez Ford said. “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.”
Bobby Lashley is now in AEW. He made his debut at AEW Fright Night Dynamite and reunited with MVP and Shelton Benjamin.
