The Street Profits: Booker T Has Been In Our Corner Since Day One
The Street Profits show love to Booker T.
The Street Profits are one of the top tag teams in all of WWE. Comprised of Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins, The Profits follow in the footsteps of many tag team great through the years.
One legendary tag team wrestler that has been somewhat of a guiding light to Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins is Booker T. In the past, Booker T has made it no secret that he is a fan of The Street Profits and now, in a new interview with Alex McCarthy of talkSPORT, Ford and Dawkins are returning the love.
“I got to shout out Booker T, man,” Angelo Dawkins started. “He was one of the first legends that I met when I first started. We, at FCW at the time, we had a show in Florida and Booker T was there for a signing and stuff. “
Dawkins shared a story of how Booker T’s advice had molded his career since 2012.
“I remember going up to him and asking for advice because I honestly didn’t know what I was getting myself into. I had played sports in college, but this was completely new and an entirely different thing for me to learn,” Dawkins continued. “The advice he gave me I pretty much adapted that this whole time since 2012. He basically detoxed any and everything I thought I had learned about wrestling before I got to FCW.”
Montez Ford, who was recently shouted out by The Rock, also praised Booker T for being an ever-present source of wisdom.
“Book been there since day one, man,” Ford carried on. “Even when we used to work the NXT road loops, he’d come through, watch our matches and everything. We really appreciate him, man. He’s one of the guys that’s always been there and made sure we’re on our ps and qs and if we’re not doing what we’re supposed to be doing, if we weren’t performing at a level, he would let us know,” Ford concluded.
Recently, Montez Ford spoke with Booker T about a potential singles run for himself. Read more here.
