Montez Ford is inspired by The Rock.
WWE star Montez Ford has often talked about how The Rock has inspired him, and he has been a fan of the former world champion since he was a kid. The Rock has been in the news a lot lately, as he joined the TKO Board of Directors, gained ownership of his name, and discussed a potential match with Roman Reigns.
Speaking on Ebro in the Morning, Montez Ford was asked about The Rock joining the TKO Board of Directors. He emphasized that The Rock has been his inspiration, and it was motivating to see the way he has continued to thrive.
“The Rock’s just always been my inspiration since I was a tadpole. Just as look as I can remember, and just to see someone I watched and idolized growing up, and now, like you said, shift out into these other avenues, and now taking ownership of his name, being part of the board of directors and just expanding himself outside of the ring, it’s motivating and inspiring that, like you said, the trajectory of where we can go with ourselves. So he’s always continuing to raise the bar. At this point, he shouldn’t even be called The Rock no more. He should be called the damn Boulder [laughs]. It’s a whole ‘nother thing," Montez Ford said.
