Tag Team Back Again; JTG & Shad Gaspard Accept Booking Under New Name
Former WWE wrestlers JTG and Shad Gaspard are back and now carry the name "Crime Time," two letters different from their former tag Cryme Tyme.
The two are now free agents in the independent circuit since RTG was released by Vince McMahon in the past weeks, reported Inquisitr. It added that the two decided to have the said name to avoid a lawsuit from their former employer.
Inquisitr, in a related report, said the WWE management has been on a "firing spree," even letting go of one of their head creative writers due to budget cuts. The report noted that many more employees may face getting fired because of the current losses of the company.
In an interview with TMZ at a Gold's Gym where they are working out, the wrestler said they plan to go out on the road as Crime Time.
They said that it was not really a reunion since they've always been cool and have been always hanging out.
"Yeah, actually we're doing a world tour, me and J. We're coming to a hood near you. Every continent and all cities around the world," they added.
Asked when wrestling fans will see them again on the ring, the two responded that they still do not know of the exact date and that they are still waiting for the "figure to be right."
The duo said that choosing their new name was a smart choice as they will not be sued because of that. "Yeah, we didn't get sued. That was smart business on our part before we did the name. That's why I own my ow name and he owns his own name," the two said in the interview.
JTG also explained that he was prepared to leave the WWE and that he was not bummed when they left. "No, I'm not really bummed. I've been preparing for it a long time. I've been at home. I'm okay with it, there's always something bigger and better," he explained.
In the same interview, the two encouraged their fans to stay up to date with their matches by checking their Twitter accounts (JTG and Shad Gaspard) where they will be making announcements in the future.
In this video posted on TMZ.com, the wrestlers also said that they are always waiting for the opportunity that will offer good money. "We've always been about that money, money."
