WWE star is being careful despite backstage frustration to protect another name, believes Vince Russo (Exclusive)
WWE has no shortage of talented names on its roster, which at times can lead to some stars being overlooked. Former WWE head writer Vince Russo recently shared his thoughts on a particular star who he thinks is not living up to his full potential.
The star being talked about is Montez Ford. Currently one half of the Street Profits tag team, Montez hasn't had much of a chance to embark on a singles run. However, many believe that he has what it takes to climb to the top of the roster, owing to his charisma and in-ring skill.
Speaking on Sportskeeda's The Wrestling Outlaws, Vince Russo shared his thoughts on Montez's recent comments. According to Russo, the WWE star is clearly frustrated.
"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. But this guy is just way... How many times have you said 'Another name on the roster?' This guy ain't another name on the roster. This guy is special, there is no question about it." [2:16 onwards]
Vince Russo thinks the WWE star is not speaking up enough
According to Vince Russo, Montez Ford's only problem that is holding him back is his reluctance to speak up against his booking.
On the same episode of The Wrestling Outlaws, the former WWE head writer explained that although he understood why Montez was hesitant about being assertive, it would inevitably harm his career.
"He can change partners, he can do this, that or the other thing. I don't think it's anything that he is doing, other than not speaking up. But, I can understand that, with his wife, I mean, I totally, totally, totally get that. But you talk about wasted talent bro, I mean, come on." [3:02 onwards]
For now, only time will tell what is next for Montez Ford down the line.
