Angelo Dawkins On A Potential Solo Run, Xavier Woods Reflects On His G4 Stint
On a recent edition of “The 513 Podcast,” Angelo Dawkins of The Street Profits addressed the possibility of a potential solo run in WWE.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On their goal: “Obviously, to go get the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championships. That’s our goal. We feel like this is the year that we obtain that goal. It’s the year that it comes to fruition. Then after that, we’ve got to see where it takes us after we’ve achieved that goal. We just want to go out there and be the best we can be.”
On a possible singles title run: “I know [Montez Ford] has wanted to do it since he was a little kid, be a single champion in WWE, the WWE Champion. Me, I’m just happy to be Tag Team Champions as well, but I ain’t going to hold you. Sometimes I do look at those [singles titles], and I’m like, ‘I can win that.’”
Xavier Woods was part of the G4 on-screen team at the time it shut down, and he reflected on the shuttering on the “Superstar Crossover” podcast.

On when he found out G4 was shutting down: “So, G4, actually, I found out on Twitter. I was on an airplane and I realized I could get on Twitter on the internet in the air, and G4 was just randomly terminated. I got no email, got no call that all of our jobs were gone. It was a crazy day. I never got a call, an email. When I landed, I hit up all the other hosts. And they already had a group chat going and the group chat was blowing up. Like, ‘What happened?’ Yeah, it kind of imploded, but we had fun while it lasted, you know?” Woods said to Josh Martinez on Superstar Crossover when discussing the G4 shut down.
On diversifying his career options: “One thing that I don’t think a lot of us talk about as adults is that there are chapters to this. You are not going to stay in the same profession your entire life, most likely. For me as a professional wrestler, eventually, that chapter ends, and being able to talk to so many of the veterans and seeing what that was like for them transitioning to not traveling anymore into owning a business, into building a podcast, whatever it is, that takes time, and it’s scary. This is what I’ve known for almost 20 years. This is life. You know, I’ve been a wrestler longer than half my life. That’s how I’ve identified myself. So I’ve been doing a lot of work in the video game space because I wanted to do two things when I was a kid, be a pro wrestler with WWE, a WWE Superstar, and work in video games. I made this YouTube channel eight years ago, UpUpDownDown, where we play live games, we’re doing all this stuff, and so I’ve been able to start writing a couple pages of my next chapter before this one ends because I wanted to make sure that I’m set up, that I can still have fun. My dad said, ‘If you have a hobby that you love, and you can turn it into a job, that’s how you live.’ So, that’s all my focus has been.”
On his dream hosting job: “Honestly? Probably Wheel of Fortune for ones that are already established. If I had my magic wand and I can bring one back, I don’t know if you remember this. There was a show on Nickelodeon called Nick Arcade. I want to host a new Nick Arcade on there. That’s the big goal… So, without saying too much, I mean, we may have been talking. It’s always good to put the goals out there and keep yourself accountable.”
