TPWW Booking Committee: Montez Ford Singles Push
 

Doubt this will go very far but for the armchair bookers out there…

Book a singles run for Montez Ford. Take him to the World Title if you like, but you don’t have to.

Also, do something with Dawkins.

I’d be happy to see Dawkins and Ford split. Given his relationship to Bianca Belair, I think Ford is the obvious one to keep heel. I know kayfabe is blown, he could be an asshole and use her name to get things, etc. but I think keep it simple. Dawkins turns on Ford in a tag team match.

I’ve thought about putting Dawkins with The Hurt Business or Judgment Day. Just let it stand out on its own. Dawkins wants more and realizes that Ford is too whipped and too busy shaking hands to get the dirty work done.

Ford is the obvious star. I like Dawkins, but he’ll be a solid hand/journeyman unless something really special falls out. I would probably smash Ford over in the feud. Hopefully Tez has some fiery promos in him. Maybe when they started out, Dawkins promised Ford’s family to always have his back. He broke that promise and broke his mom’s heart. Make it reeeeaaallllll personal. Stick to it and make sure you don’t have Ford flopping around losing to guys you aren’t pushing in a week.

If Dawkins is going to get an association with someone — maybe Seth Rollins could work? It would make sense if Seth & Becky’s desire to take down Bianca somehow ties into it all.

At some point, you can redeem Dawkins. I would not put the Street Profits back together, but let’s say that Ford wins a Royal Rumble and goes against a top heel and their faction at Mania. It would be kinda cool if they kind of enlist Dawkins, but he’s not super-stoked about it and walks away from them at some point. Come Mania, he runs out after a post-match beat-down and runs off the heels and hands Ford his moment. Ford doesn’t need to trust Dawkins or welcome him back with open arms, but he could give him a little nod that the dude has grown and did him a particular solid here.

To get to the break-up, I get that there could be an edge to doing it randomly. But you could always have a heel try and get into Dawkins’ head. Or even try to get into Ford’s. Do something like Luger/Tatanka. I also always liked what Heyman did on OVW with Cappotelli and Jeter, where an injury to one led to the other getting a big head. You could take Dawkins out in kayfabe to give Ford serious motivation as a trial singles, just to have Dawkins turn when he comes back. You could also do something where Dawkins wants to cheat to get ahead as the Street Profits, but Ford’s morality becomes an issue.

Of those ideas, I think I actually like Dawkins being taken out and Ford getting a moment in the sun. For SummerSlam, I had the idea that Ciampa could win the US Title very quickly from Lashley. He’s all set to be this proud US Champ, but Ciampa sells out and joins Judgment Day who unexpectly stick their nose in Lashley’s business. Lashley now goes to war with them. JD takes out Dawkins (off-screen, so we only have Dawkins’ word for it). Montez Ford joins Lashley and AJ Styles for a six-man against Balor, Priest & Ciampa for SummerSlam in Nashville.

Nashville is Bianca’s hometown, and Styles & Lashley have a semi-obvious Nashville connection. They kind of play local heroes for this thing. Earlier in the night, hoping she’s ready (I don’t know her status), Rhea Ripley would beat Bianca for the Raw Women’s Title in a Hair vs. Hair Match. I think someone taking Bianca’s hair would be massive heat that she can turn into a positive message, and I think Rhea works because I’d like to see them go against each other at Mania, plus Rhea’s got the look that makes you think she’s punky enough to shave her head in the first place.

Styles & Lashley tell Ford to get his mind into the game. He can’t let Bianca’s loss affect him. It’s time for them to go out there and make an impact (ho, ho). Maybe they can license AJ Styles’ TNA theme for one night? Anyway, the faces win the six-man.

At some point, I’d have Ford win the US Title. That way, when Dawkins returns and costs Ford against Balor or someone, that can have significance. He’s actually ripping a singles achievement from the partner who was sticking up for him.

Have him win MITB.

Have him beat a guy who is already dead for a world title.

Give him a nickname like “Money Montez”

Step one: give him 1 name so we cant relate to him as a real person

Step two: make his name his gimmick

Step three: he now drives ford trucks to the ring comolete with corporate endorsements

Step four: wonder why this didnt work

Step five a: push him anyways

Step five b: put him in a tag with his long lost brother chevy (dawkins.)

Montez walks into the ring, schoolboys Brock and wins the title.

You could always take the approach that Ford reaches his heights before anything happens to his friendship with Dawkins at all. You could give Ford a sniff here or there. Ford could win the Rumble pretty out of the blue. Let’s say you’re running Cody vs. Cena at Mania — there’s a good excuse for Cody to lose. But Ford wins as an unlikely candidate no one saw coming. Dawkins backs him up against Roman and the like, maybe wins the IC Title or something. He can beat Gunther to prove that these dudes can overcome the odds again and again.

Ford challenges Reigns at Mania. He wins. Crowd hopefully bites. Dawkins comes out and celebrates with him, the World Champ and the IC Champ — no apparent signs of jealousy…yet.

I think that would make Ford the first WWE Champion to be born in the 90’s.

You could always have Ford and Dawkins drafted to separate brands. They can kind of take friendly shots across the floor at each other. Ford might be drafted first, so Dawkins feels like he has the chip on his shoulder and has something to prove earlier. Maybe he actually does while Ford struggles. I wouldn’t start an actual feud this way, but for segments where Dawkins, maybe the US Champion, confronts Ford who has a big PPV match but Dawkins isn’t even scheduled to wrestle could be interesting.

Step 6: He turns chicken shit into chicken salad and gets over with his natural charisma

Step 7: He gets over more than you want him to.

Step 8: Bury the fuck out of him

Step one - Break up tag team

Step 2 - Dawkins crushes Ford

Step 3 - Dawkins enters fued with AJ Styles

Step 4 - Ford gets released.

Step 5 - Dawkins get released

Step 6 - Dee Ford shows up in Impact wins World Title.

Maybe WWE should pair up with Shark week, then have Ford fight Gunther with Dawkins locked in a Shark cage. That is some Booker of the Year good shit!

Only if Gunther chops the Shark Cage down with his bare hands.

Shart Cage

All these ideas needed a shit/fart joke somewhere in there to make it truly “Vince”. Drave comes in and covers them both. Brilliant.

Of course the shart cage match is set up after Ford and Dawkins infuse some liquid laxative into Gunther’s pre-match bratwurst (because he’s German, you see) and force him to lose a match by forfeit because he’s on the toilet.

its gotta rain poo, like they've done before.




bonus points if you feed the sharks first, watch them poo in the water, then release the poo water.

German humoUr at it's finest right here.








Seriously though, The Simpsons in German is NOT FUNNY.

Does anything in German sound funny?

Wienerschnitzel

I mean yeah, there are funny words for sure. Their brand of humor just isn't there man.




I TRIED! I lived there for 2.5 years. Some shows even change their laugh track queues.

Oh, what was funny though was this show called "Ohne Worte" - which means "without words" (Think I'm missing umlauts).


It was basically a German Mr. Bean.
