"I did cry a little bit" - Montez Ford on The Rock's heartfelt message to him

WWE RAW star Montez Ford has revealed that he became emotional after seeing The Rock's message to him on Instagram.

The People's Champion was responding to The Street Profits member's comments about his love for him. Ford has been vocal about his desire to share the ring with The Rock, referring to the Fast and Furious star on multiple occasions as his dream opponent.

During his recent appearance on the Bleav in Pro Wrestling Podcast, Montez Ford said he cried a little bit when he read the heartfelt post.

“I can't even put into words. But, I did cry a little bit. I ain't gonna lie, you know? Cause it was a big, it was big for me man. It's just cool to see your heroes recognize you and say like, ‘Hey man, I see you man.’ And I appreciate that. I still do, like, to this day. Because like I said, I’ve been through a lot of stuff in my life. And Rock has been there, in his own way, just him being himself. He's been there and helped me to be who I am today and inspired me to who I am today. The successes, everything," said Ford.
