"Cryme Time" Update

----It is being reported the story below on http://www.pwtorch.com/ mainly about their immaturity backstage. I was not backstage and I do not know, but after reading the myspace.com post below, Shad J Gaspard comes off very mature in handling the situation.

WHAT HAPPENED??

Prior to be released at a house show this past weekend, there was increasing heat between Cryme Tyme and Lance Cade & Trevor Murdoch. Prior to the match, Shad reportedly told Cade "whatever 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 near count out, the ref actually counted fast, as a result Cryme Tyme was counted out.

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 were not seen as "two of the guys backstage" and were released. This is another example of immaturity, and the old fashioned atmosphere in the lockerroom.

The following is 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

Shad J Gaspard
