Montez Ford opens up on The Rock
Speaking on HOT 97, Ford revealed that The Rock has been his inspiration since he was a child. He revealed that he idolizes ‘The Great One’ and lauded the legend for his endeavours outside WWE as well. He said:
“The Rock has always been my inspiration since I was a tadpole, just as long as I can remember. To see someone I watched and idolized growing up and then now like you said, shift out into these other avenues. Take ownership of his name, being part of the board of directors and just expanding his self outside of the ring is motivating and inspiring. Like you said, the trajectory of where we can go with ourselves. He’s always continuing to raise the bar. At this point, he shouldn’t even be called The Rock no more should be called the damn Boulder”
The Rock recently made a comeback to WWE during the Day 1 edition of Raw on January 1 and dropped a tease about Roman Reigns vs. The Rock which could potentially take place as soon as this year’s WrestleMania 40 in Philadelphia.
