JTG Talks About WWE Release and John Cena Yelling at Him

Super Cena might not be so nice. A few years ago, JTG was released from his WWE contract for the second time. The first time was back in 2007 when he was part of Cryme Tyme with Shad Gaspard, which doesn’t seem like the most interesting story in the world. JTG has offered a bit of a backstory though, which makes things a bit more intriguing.

JTG recently appeared on HannibalTV and talked about his release, which he seems to think was due to something Gaspard did. The interesting part though is how he said Cena handled it, which wasn’t in the nicest manner.

“Our agent, Barry Windham, called Shad, he didn’t want to speak to me because it wasn’t me that had a problem, so he called Shad to the back and yelled at him in the locker room,” he said. “He called Shad into the room, yelled at him, then when Shad got out, and he got done getting yelled at by Barry Windham the agent, John Cena let him have it. John Cena let us both have it. And then on the way back, John Laurinaitis called us, let us have it, and the next day we got released at Raw.”

Opinion: You often hear stories like this about Cena and they don’t exactly paint him in the most positive light. Now of course no one is expecting Cena to be some kind of a saint and I highly doubt you can blame the team’s release on his actions, but it probably didn’t help things. That being said, Gaspard didn’t exactly handle things too well and the team wasn’t the biggest deal in the world in the first place.
