Bianca Belair Discusses Montez Ford’s Fear of Heights and Ambition
In a separate conversation with Chris Van Vliet on the Insight podcast, Bianca Belair revealed a personal detail about her husband: Montez Ford has a fear of heights. Despite this challenge, Ford strives to perform his finishing move, the Frog Splash, with maximum elevation and impact.
Belair shared anecdotes about Ford’s cautious approach to climbing the ropes before executing the move, highlighting his determination despite his fear. Ford’s dedication reflects his desire to perfect the Frog Splash and become renowned for it within the wrestling community.
You know he’s scared of heights. He’s scared of heights. You ask him yourself, but every time he comes to the top rope, he’s scared. I always make fun of him, because he takes forever. Most people, they put their foot on the second rope, and then they go straight to the top. He goes, it’s like, right, left. He’s like, bottom, bottom, middle, middle, top, top, and then he’s up. I’m like, why are you taking so many steps? Just take one step and get up. He’s like, I’m scared. But yeah, I think his goal is to get out of the frame. He wants to be king of the Frog Splash. He wants the best Frog Splash in the business. Nobody can top him, he has the best frog splash,
