Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins, together known as The Street Profits, have achieved notable success in WWE, though it’s been some years since their peak, leading to frustration among fans and even, recently, from one of the team members over their current booking.
The Street Profits had a strong push in NXT and on the main roster, but it’s been almost 4 years since they last held tag team gold. Earlier this year, they were aligned with Bobby Lashley, which offered a fresh storyline, but they separated from him a few months back as Lashley has since exited the company.
In an interview with Daily Mail, Montez shared that while he’s grateful for his dream job, he does sometimes feel frustrated with the creative direction.
He mentioned that they always aim to make the most of any opportunities given, like their time with Lashley, which felt like an exciting new direction.
Here’s what the former RAW, SmackDown & NXT Tag Team Champion said:
“For me to sit here and go like, how’s it going, that it’s good, that’d be a lie. There’s always pleasure in doing what you love, what you admire, what you have dreamt of, what you have goals in and passion for, but it does get to that sense of frustration where anything you try to accomplish in life, where you may feel like it’s either taking too long, or it’s been too long, or nothing’s happening.
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.
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.”
