He revealed ‘The Game‘ suggested that Ford and Dawkins might look good as a tag team.
Montez Ford said, “When I first got to the PC, it was me, him (Angelo Dawkins) and Apollo first came in the same exact class. And we always used to like, even still today just kick it in everything.”
“Then one day I had a match on tape and he [Angelo Dawkins] had a match right after me. And Hunter [Triple H] actually was like, ‘Hey, they might look good as a tag team.’ He was like, oh bet, because we already knew each other,” he added.
Ford and Dawkins have shown great chemistry as a tag team. They have also won the tag team titles after teaming up. And it is always a great thing to team up with someone with whom you share a great bond.
