In this interview Montez Ford says the SmackDown triple threat against DIY and Motor City Machine Guns was the best TLC of all time: “I think for us, it’s one of those situations where you say, okay, you’re not on WrestleMania but, you also look at it a positive way where now they have other WWE superstars who’ve never been a part of WrestleMania to showcase their talents. But, the thing about it is once that gets finished with – which it did – WrestleMania happened, it was great, it was a success, it was a two-night extravaganza and then we step up to the plate and show ’em how it’s really done. So whether it’s WrestleMania, whether it’s SummerSlam, we are the PLE. The Street Profits are the PLE. We’re a walking PLE. Every time we go out there, it’s a main event performance so it could be Saturday Night’s Main Event, it could be WrestleMania, it could be SummerSlam, it could be the Royal Rumble. The Street Profits are the main act. So, that’s how we look at it, that’s how we took it and as you can see, we created arguably – I ain’t gonna say arguably – it was the greatest TLC match of all time. We had a lot of chips on our shoulder. Listen, we went out there and showed them, this is what happens when you have to pretty much go before The Street Profits. We seen the pressure, we seen all the great matches at WrestleMania. Shoutouts to my beautiful bride, my wife, who (had) probably the greatest Triple Threat match at WrestleMania. But, after that happened, we said, ‘Alright, man, let’s show ’em how it’s really done, let’s show ’em how the big boys really play.'”
CM Punk says he has newfound respect for Triple H: “I’ve advanced in my life to a point where I have the perspective I didn’t have before. For him likewise has advanced in life to where he has experiences and knowledge he didn’t have before. Me and him, I think we were both on the main roster, and were talented guys. It was more adversarial because we were competition. Now we’re not and are on the same page and want to help the next generation and kind of guide them the right way with their creativity showing through but also producing them. It’s more like, ‘Maybe do it this way and see what happens.’ Look, I love working with the guy. It’s amazing. It’s really a treat. I think we’ve only scratched the tip of the iceberg. I’m still kind of pumping the brakes on any kind of office title. I don’t want to be office Punk while I’m active main roster wrestler Punk. Those things do not mix. You can not try to tell somebody else what to do while you are essentially booked in a certain position on the show, in my opinion. I’m stoked being a wrestler and until I hang my boots up, I’m going to be stoked being a wrestler. I want to do the best I can with the group I have, which are some supremely talented, genius minds for the wrestling business.”
