WWE's Angelo Dawkins has admitted that "disrespect" from some pro wrestling fans has "p*ssed him off" for a while now. The Street Profits member told the 'Masked Man Show' that this is nothing new, but he feels as though people need to realise how supportive he is of his tag partner Montez Ford.

Candidly, Dawkins said people "would have been better off shutting up about me". He hasn't taken kindly to suggestions that he's somehow the weaker member of the team or even holding Montez back. If anything, Angelo prides himself on being the kind of partner who knows when to hang back and let Ford bask in the spotlight.

He doesn't see anything wrong with that.

For context, there's been a ton of chatter on Twitter over the past 12-18 months about Ford breaking out as a singles star away from Dawkins. That irks Angelo, because he doesn't appreciate supporting his friend being taken as an excuse to act like he's "this freaking scrub [who has] no business being here".

Dawkins described himself as "a hybrid" in-ring, and revealed that even Montez was concerned by some of the criticism he received.
