Cryme Tyme = Released

[KingofOldSchool]

Bye bye

Up on WWE.com

Maybe this means we get to see London and Kendrick pushed.

[KingofOldSchool]

May not be drug related.

World Wrestling Entertainment released Raw tag team Cryme Time, Shad Gaspard and JTG, this afternoon.

I haven't heard particulars yet but do know there was an incident this weekend involving Cryme Time and WWE Tag Team champions Lance Cade and Trevor Murdoch that took place on the Raw house show in Terra Haute, Indiana yesterday. WWE Management was dealing with the incident via telephone from yesterday's TV Taping in Cincinnati and made the decision to release the pair at the Raw tapings this afternoon. Given the timing of the release, I'd say this is likely not a Wellness Policy issue but something stemming from the Indiana incident.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

[Outsider]

They were alright in the ring. Hated the gimmick though.

So that's three talented people gone and Viscera still has a job. Well done WWE.

[IC Champion]

Actually, who cares.

But he's big and scary, and will evetually be buried by Cena.

[KingofOldSchool]

Actually, who cares.

Well considering how they were actually very much over with the fans, it should matter. It's not like they were announcing the release of Todd Grisham.

[Cactus Sid]

They're both black....they MUST be the locker room suppliers.

[Fignuts]

Thank god.

[Team Sheep]

Shame. They weren't my favourite or anything but I didn't mind them.

[The Naitch]

good news :y:

[#1-norm-fan]

OH... MY... GOD.

This is bullshit. Fuck WWE!!! :mad:

[SammyG]

For fuck's sake, I loved those guys. God Damnit. WWE sucks my nuts. BROOKLYN BROOKLYN :(

[The Fugitive]

Pity.

Did they ever cash in their tag team shot?

[KingofOldSchool]

OMG ITZ A WORK!1!1

[Russenmafia]

Just as I was getting into the gimmick, they release the two guys. Load of crap.

[KingofOldSchool]

Pity.

Did they ever cash in their tag team shot?

No. :(

[Fignuts]

OH... MY... GOD.

This is bullshit. Fuck WWE!!! :mad:

Literally choking on the irony here.

[HeartBreakMan2k]

Shame, the smaller one was the goods in the ring and the hoss wasn't too bad either.

[HeartBreakMan2k]

Literally choking on the irony here.

lol, didn't even notice till you quoted. :lol:

[KingofOldSchool]

Well I'm wondering what exactly happened, because as I mentioned in the second post, there was an incident at the house show last night.

I reckon Cade/Murdoch worked a little stiff on them and they didn't like it and they confronted them backstage.

[Jura]

WWE should release 3/4 of the roster.

[HeartBreakMan2k]

Or Cade/Muroch stiffed them a little and they stiffed to holy hell back.

[HeartBreakMan2k]

WWE should release 3/4 of the roster.

They'd still be pretty overstaffed, granted - not nearly as overstaffed as TNA.

[Xero]

Wow, didn't see this coming. I admit I'm a fan.

Read the second post, asshole. :foc:

[thedamndest]

So now the WWE is down to four tag teams?

[CSL]

Retarded move by WWE. I mean, whilst they were green as hell, they had potential and were over.

:-\

[addy2hotty]

Good news. At least I won't have to skip through their segments on Raw anymore.

I wonder what the confrontation was all about, perhaps Cryme Tyme took kayfabe too far.

[#1-norm-fan]

lol, didn't even notice till you quoted. :lol:

haha! Neither did I. Good times. :lol:

Seriously though... FUCK WWE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[6to1]

now they can join team pacman

[Fignuts]

You need to post more in casual. Damninator is giving all Damn-related posters a bad name.

[RGWhat316]

Damn, this sucks. I've been really enjoying them lately, and they had gotten fairly over. If Cade and Murdoch started all of this, they should have been the ones released. Sucks to see if Cryme Tyme stood up for themselves, and are getting punished due to it.

[aaaaa]

Maybe the incident had to do with Money, Money. (Yeah, Yeah)

[SammyG]

.... Batistabombed is that you?

[Kane Knight]

They're both black....they MUST be the locker room suppliers.

:rofl:

[Loose Cannon]

not a fan. they got more annoying as time went on. That "Money Money, Yea Yea" was the most annoying part. But they were over with the crowd. They were more or less like DJ's on MTV or something. I just didn't like how fan friendly they were.

[chrisat928]

Fucking shit man. Cryme Tyme was entertaining as hell. What the fuck is wrong with WWE?

[Xero]

Read the second post, asshole. :foc:
Sorry, I'm high on Nyquil right now, KoOS KoOS...

[Loose Cannon]

I would of loved them more if they acted like thugs instead of WWE thugs.

[Gerard]

WWE seem to do this every so often, just suprise people with a spate of releases. its amazing how if you want to leave you probably have to give some form of advance notice, whereas they can fuck you over anytime they want. :nono:

pack of fucks.

Does anyone know if WWE pays out the wrestlers contracts? Do they pay the full amount or are they just kicked to the curb with what they got on not being able to use it since WWE probably owns the rights to the wrestlers name and gimmick?

[HeartBreakMan2k]

I'm pretty sure that they have to pay out a percentage of the downside guarentee?

[chrisat928]

I've heard they pay out the remainder of their contracts.

[FourFifty]

Holy God, why did I give up drinking? After reading that Cryme Tyme is gone I need a dtink.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Cryme Tyme weren't horrible, but they weren't the best thing going today, either. Their release doesn't bother me, and if it means more of a push for London & Kendrick, then I'm definitely not going to lose any sleep over it.

Apparently there was a weird finish during the Lance Cade & Trevor Murdoch vs. Cryme Tyme match, where someone got counted out, despite JTG being in the ring, and then Cryme Tyme took the referee's belt, and tried to auction it off. Apparently it didn't sit well with management. So yeah, I guess they did take kayfabe too far.

[Y2Ant]

BOOOOOOOOOOOO

Cryme Tyme were the best tag team ever. Fuck you Lance Cade, and fuck you too Trevor Murdoch. The Tag Team division has been a piece of shit ever since the roster split, and it won't ever be as good as it was before unless they end the split, which won't happen.

London and Kendrick had better be winning those titles from Team Brokeback Mountain and keep them for a year like they did on SD now. :mad:

[Shadow]

I won't say that I enjoyed Cryme Tyme but god damn it....they were over with the fans.

Fuck the WWE.

[FourFifty]

Yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo YO! Yo! Yoooooo!

Prior to their release and the incident at a house show there was increasing heat between Cryme Tyme and Lance Cade & Trever Murdoch. Prior to their match Shad told Cade, "what ever happens in the ring tonight happens," implying that Cryme Tyme may work stiff on them.

Cade & Murdoch took this as a threat so got the Referee in on a swerve. Instead of doing their usual near count out, the ref actually fast counted JTG and the match ended early.

With that Cryme Tyme attacked the ref (it wasn't planned, but they weren't shooting on him) and legit stole his belt and auctioned it off to the audience.

Cryme Tyme weren't seen as two of "the guys" backstage and were released.

Just another example of the immaturity and old fashioned atmosphere the locker room still has.

[KingofOldSchool]

OG style.

[CSL]

Could you imagine Lou Thesz or Frank Gotch running to an official 'cause they're scared? Heck, even a JBL or Bobcore?

Nice to see we have such 'tough guys' in the business still.

[Tommy Gunn]

Get rid of Cade and Murdoch too.

If SD drop the Cruiserweight title and Raw drop their tag titles it'll be an equal number of championships. WWE can't juggle two tag divisions.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>God dammit, I was looking forward to Cryme Tyme taking the belts off of Team Brokeback and then going into a feus with Londrick :mad:

The Raw tag division has been pretty awesome: Brokeback, Cryme Tyme, Londrick, WGTT, Highlanders

Now Cryme Tyme is gone and the Highlanders are apparently going to SD soon (where they will only have 3 teams too)</font>

[KingofOldSchool]

Time to call up the James Boys...

[BigDaddyCool]

TBH, I always found them annoying as hell, but this is a shocker.

I wonder if WWE also wanted to get rid of them because of their gimmick and the up coming investigations.

[Xero]

The last thing they need is Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton on their asses right now.

[NeanderCarl]

Shows how much WWE has changed over the years.

Back in the day.... Jacques Rougeau beats Dynamite Kid to a pulp with brass knucks = Dynamite gone within months of his own accord, solo push and lengthy WWF career for Rougeau.

Today.... Cryme Tyme with a few empty threats, hit a worked move on a referee and pull a harmless rib = the scrap heap.

1. Rogeau didn't beat DK up with brass knucks, they got into a scuffle and Rogeau just ended up knocking a couple of DK's teeth. Rogeau had to pay for the dental work out of his pocket.

2. There is evidently more to the story, the ref beat down wasn't scripted. When results of the show came out before CT got fired, people were mentioning how abruptly the match ended via countout. Then they beatdown the ref, took off his belt and started to sell it but said fuck it and just threw the belt into the crowd.

[BigDaddyCool]

Yeah, but what would get Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton on their asses faster? Despicting blacks as petty thugs and theifs or firing them? Not to mention they still have a black guy they call a silver back, another black chicken eating thug, and Coachman.

From Shad's MySpace page:

Hi every one this is my first BLOG so bear with me, I'm not a computer guy. I figured this was the best whey to answer everyone's questions and give credible answers to the situation involving me and J. First I want to say thank you to WWE and all the talent in & out of the ring (Superstars, Divas, Agents, Production, Creative, Referees, Office, OVW, and more) for giving me the opportunity to follow my dreams and helping to mold and guide me in the right directions. I also would like to apologize to anyone I have hurt or disrespected. I am truly sorry.


Being a WWE wrestler has been a dream of mine since I was 5 years old and wrestling for WWE is the greatest job in the world. Unfortunately due to certain actions and events that I will NOT discuss J and I were released. WWE is not an evil greedy corporation, it is a family, and in my heart I know I will some day be a WWE Super star again and part of that family. But until then I will continue to learn my craft and become the best that I can be. God has shut a door in my life, but he is opening a window.


So with that being said, special thanks to my Family & Friends for their love and support, OVW & Danny Davis, my former co-workers and still friends, also thank you to anyone that has ever cheered for me I love you all, and last but not least, a special thank you goes out to all the people who screwed, booed, and cheated me throughout my life & career. You have made me stronger and better in what I am doing. You made me appreciate even more the people who demonstrated the true meaning of loyalty and trust. You taught me the value of friendship; that trust has to be earned, not given. You taught me not to trust someone just because they go to church, because all of you did.


I will keep everyone posted as best I can.


Thank you & God bless

Well at least he isn't burning any bridges, that is always a good move. BTW, was Shad the big guy?

[KingofOldSchool]

BTW, was Shad the big guy?

Yeah.

[BigDaddyCool]

Yeah.

Also, so they "beat up the ref" then sold his belt? Now they are fired? Meh.

[Xero]

If anything the ref and/or Cade and Murdoch should be fired for fucking with the scripted finish.

Nothing Vince hates more than an unscripted finish. I mean, just look at the Royal Rumble from a few years ago. Damn near killed 'em!

Which one?

The one where Batista and Cena fucked up the finish and Vince, in his haste to restart it, tore both his quads.

Actually I had heard that it was a shoot with Vince coming out but I'm not 100% sure.

[IC Champion]

1. Rogeau didn't beat DK up with brass knucks, they got into a scuffle and Rogeau just ended up knocking a couple of DK's teeth. Rogeau had to pay for the dental work out of his pocket.

Actually, DK suckered Rogeau over somthing, and DK was seen as a bully back than, so the next time Rogeua saw him, DK had a coffee in his hands or something and Rogeau knocked the shit out of him.

It went something like that, Honky Tonk was talking about it in a shoot I had seen.

[BigDaddyCool]

intersting. BTW, bats hit the ground first.

[Kane Knight]

So why didn't Shad just steal someone else's Myspace?

[Xero]

Because you can make MySpace accounts for free. He wouldn't get that MONEY MONEY! YEAH YEAH! Just a shitload of EMO EMO! NO NO!

Hahahaha, no one likes emo kids.

[Slow]

Maybe the WWE finally realised pushing blatant criminals on their show maybe wasn't such a great PR move after all

[Slow]

And that's the first time i've seen the clip from mania 21, that looked painfull!

[Russenmafia]

Could you imagine Lou Thesz or Frank Gotch running to an official 'cause they're scared? Heck, even a JBL or Bobcore?

Nice to see we have such 'tough guys' in the business still.

If Bobcore got a threat like from Cryme Tyme he wouldn't go to a Ref to complain. Instead he would slap the piss out of the two of them as soon as they made the threat.

Remember Bobcore is "The Big Shot" :y:

I remember being pissed about that finish.

Pretty obvious Cena hit first. I originally thought it was supposed to go down like that, they just really fucked up hitting at the same time.

Looking back, it made for a pretty nice little sequence though. Especially when they both just get mad and throw each other over while the refs argue.

[#1-norm-fan]

Seems like an incident they should have gotten in some trouble for but not fired. The entire situation is pretty petty and childish all around but Cryme Tyme shouldn't have been released over it. I mean, they performed a move on an untrained, unprepared referee, granted. It's worth a slap on the wrist, a fine, something to teach them a lesson.

Seems like personally getting together with the ref before a match to change the finish without anyone knowing should call for a penalty of some sort too.

Right now is just the wrong time to fuck around.

[Johnny Vegas]

RACISTS! lol nah, that is pretty f'd up though. A fine at the most should have been the solution. My guess is they were planning on getting rid of them to begin with.

[D Mac]

Guess TNA will be giving them that MONEY MONEY, YEAH YEAH

[Chuck Jones]

Remember how a newsbit came out, saying that the writers treated gimmicks like Cryme Tyme and the Highlanders as 'toys' and after hyping them up huge, they get bored of them? Might be something

[Lux]

Maybe, in theory the writers suck, but really why do i have to keep seeing the self-proclaimed Redneck Wrecking Crew (worst name ever) every week which is bad enough that they are still on the roster and not in ECW, yet fire Cryme Tyme, i swear i'm not watching Raw this week... :shifty: maybe 5 minutes though

1. Well according to both Dynamite's book and Rougeau himself in his own words, he used brass knucks and messed Dynamite's mouth up pretty bad. The Rougeau shoot was on YouTube, do a search, not sure if it's still there.

2. I know, I know, I was just generalising to make a point.

[NeanderCarl]

It was either brass knucks or a roll of coins, actually. I'm now thinking maybe coins.
