Montez Ford appeared on “Reality Of Wrestling” with Booker T to talk about whether or not he sees himself having a singles career and what it was like to Frog Splash “Jackass” star Johnny Knoxville during the Royal Rumble.
Montez Ford was asked if he would like to be a singles star:
“I hear a certain chatter. I really don’t buy it too much yet because I feel like my job and task at hand is being the greatest tag team right now in this modern day era,” Ford shared.
“So I feel like a lot of times I’m so focused on that so much that until it happens, and when it happens, that’s when I’ll put my full attention and energy into it, but right now I got to take care of my brother.”
Ford on getting to frog splash Johnny Knoxville in The Royal Rumble:
“Oh man, he was all game. The cool part about it was I was telling him, ‘Hey man, me and my sister used to stay up late nights and watch MTV MTV 2, Jackass, and The Wildboyz all night and just see all the crazy scenarios and things that they did,'” Ford laughed.
“So for me to have that moment with him, it was just like full circle and like, you know, the whole childhood nostalgia. He was all game. He was like, ‘Hey guys, you know if I’m in there, I’m in your world. Don’t let up on me. I want the real thing. I spent my whole entire career hurting other people.’”
“He’s a great guy. It’s always cool too to have people from different worlds come in and even people that we’ve grown up and watched, and come across people who are fans of the business to come across and just be so welcoming to our world. So it was cool man, and he said he’s ready to come back too, so I guess we need to lay the smack down on him harder next time.”
