Montez Ford discloses what it's like to travel with Bianca Belair
Montez Ford has discussed what it's like to travel with Bianca Belair. The two stars are on the road a lot, which is a long-standing tradition in WWE and the wrestling industry.
The EST of WWE does even more traveling as she's required to be on both RAW and SmackDown since she and Jade Cargill are the Women's Tag Team Champions. Many stars travel together in pairs or groups in rental cars while others such as Cody Rhodes have their own tour bus.
During a recent appearance on The Five Count, Montez Ford spoke about couples like him and Bianca Belair traveling together being normalized in wrestling and stated that it's very helpful in many different aspects.
"It kind of helps and assists a lot too, and it keeps guys out of trouble. You got your lady on the road with you; nine times out of ten, you're more inclined to not go out there and get yourself in trouble. So it helps in so many aspects. It's the best—you have someone that understands not just the business but the peaks and valleys of it too. It helps out a lot, man. It's a huge factor when it comes to being in a field like this as well. I love it, man. Now, being in it, I couldn't imagine it any other way," he said. [6:54-7:31]
Vince Russo thinks Montez Ford is frustrated in WWE but is being careful to protect Bianca Belair
Montez Ford has had success as a member of The Street Profits, as he and Angelo Dawkins have held tag team gold multiple times. However, many people feel that he isn't being used to his full potential.
Vince Russo stated on Sportskeeda's The Wrestling Outlaws that he thinks Montez Ford was frustrated with his position in WWE but he didn't say much to protect his wife Bianca Belair, who is very successful.
"I think he is very frustrated. I think he is lost for answers. On top of that, he's gotta be very careful because he has got a very successful wife there. So, he doesn't want to impinge her career in any way, shape or form." [2:16 onwards]
The Street Profits seemingly turned heel on SmackDown last week. It'll be interesting to see what they do next with this new direction.
