The Street Profits, the team ofMontez Ford andAngelo Dawkins, worked hardto become one of the mainstays of WWEs tag team division. They were partnered up with Bobby Lashley until things got derailed after Lashley got injured and left WWE. Thats why it comes as no surprise Ford has now vented his frustration over the Street Profits current condition after Lashleys departure.
The hope was that teaming up with multi-time world champion Bobby Lashley would elevate Ford and Dawkins success. On-screen, Lashley took on a mentor role, guiding them toward greater achievements. This seemed to be working, especially around WrestleMania, but when Lashley got injured, things fell apart, and he is no longer with WWE now.
While speaking to Daily Mail, Monez Ford talked about trying to become heels with Lashley, but the fans didnt like the change. Even though they pushed for it, fans still saw them as the original Street Profits. Ford realized that fans steer the direction of a characterthey didnt want to see a bad version of the team.
Although it was short-lived, Ford appreciated the time with Lashley and B-Fab. He learned that wrestling can change quickly; anyone can leave, so you have to adapt. Now, hes moving forward, taking what hes learned.
When Lashley was in the picture, it was exciting for Ford because Lashley was a wrestler hed looked up to. Having Lashley as a mentor felt like the start of something new. They had built momentum with moments like a WrestleMania win, but then it suddenly stopped. Ford describes the frustration of gaining momentum, only to lose it again and again, saying its hard for fans to stay invested when a teams progress keeps stopping and starting.
As for Bobby Lashley, he recently made his debut on the October 30th edition of AEW Dynamite and aligned himself with MVP and Shelton Benjamin. Nonetheless, only time will tell what will become of the Street Profits in the end.
