The Rock Wants THIS Wrestler To Become WWE Champion
Dwayne Johnson says he's "rooting" for one WWE star to become World Champ.
The Rock says he's "rooting" for Montez Ford to become WWE Champion someday.
Ford complimented Dwayne Johnson's influence on him during a chat with Ryan Satin's 'Out Of Character' podcast series. Rocky caught wind of that praise, and decided to fire some right back at The Street Profits man via his official Instagram page.
Johnson said he really appreciated Ford's "kind and beautiful words" on the pod and put him over as "passionate". Apparently, The Rock is a fan of Tez's tag-team with Angelo Dawkins too - he admires how hard they've worked to catch fire in WWE, and thinks it's only a matter of time before Montez breaks out on his own as a singles star.
Imagine The Rock pretty much telling WWE to make you World Champion. That's huge.
Ford recalled how he'd dress like Rocky growing up. He wanted to be like his hero so badly, and that's something Dwayne finds heartwarming. On Insta, The Rock added that Montez "flies like the Superfly". That was a nod towards Ford's high-flying style and a comparison to Jimmy Snuka.
Montez Ford just made a powerful ally.
