Did you just do the alpha m "boom" during the sponsor segment or am i just seeing things ?
Love your channel hope JTG can come back to westing
Great job Chris
is JTG signed somewhere? IDCY he hasn't popped up on AEW... not on Dark either.. straight to Dynamite .. I need to see fam on TV..
RIP to Shad G
He definitely deserves another shot at wrestling. Hopefully with aew or impact wrestling
Damn, JTG looks much bigger than I remember. Hardly recognized him.
hes always been big but he was shorter than most of the other wrestlers so he looked smaller lol especially next to Shad
@@jadinkosmma5459 That's part of it, but I'm pretty sure he's put on more mass since his WWE days. Just look at his recent matches and compare.
@@The_Fat_Fury i know hes bigger but hes always been a pretty big dude lol
@@jadinkosmma5459 shad was a beast though
I kind of feel like his size cartoonish. Chris actually has my ideal physique.
so basically JTG turned into Shad himself
He definitely did
Yep
Yes he got HUGE
Honestly, he looks more like a mini Ezekiel Jackson
Shad's arms was never that big.
Still sucks that shad is no longer with us but it feels like jtg is still carrying his legacy on. Great interview Chris.
This interview with JTG was just too good. Pun very much intended, lol but no, this interview was good, the way he talked about everything from his time in WWE to who shad was outside of the ring was great. He felt the same way when he talked about Shad on Lillian Garcia's podcast. Shad really did seem like a genuine good guy outside the ring, no one has a bad word about him. The type of friendship Shad & JTG had, that's rare to find in wrestling, they were brothers.
R.I.P Shad ❤️️ CT4L
You're are definitely right about the brotherhood relationship they had between them both.
Yo yo yo yo! Pop a 40 and check your rollies, it's Cryme Tyme Brooklyn Brooklyn

@@Dickinabox ? Biscuit and gravyyyyyy
@@LTRUTH334 you damn right
The new day vs cryme time
I wanted that so bad man.
RIP SHAD
that would have been a great feud to see... no doubt
Or Cryme Tyme vs The Street Profits
Yeah lets imagine all the black tag teams vs cryme tyme cuz they are two black men ofcourse!
I had to😂
Cryme Tyme and Hooligans have to be the most underrated tag teams ever
😂
As a nearly 30 year old guy that hasn't been in a gym since high school (which had ancient equipment and no leadership) I will be keeping an eye out for that book
same
Good luck on your journey, brother. I've gotten lazy during the pandemic myself.
Any updates on the book?
Shad Should get the Warrior Award absolutely 100 Percent
Correct
"That money money, yea yea" 😭🔥
Cryme Tyme vs Miz and Morrison aka Word Up vs The Dirt Sheet which culminated at Cyber Sunday is my favourite wrestling tag fued of all time.
Next time you get to interview either JTG, Miz or JoMo, CVV please ask about their recollection of that fued. :)
(Speaking of wrestling psychology- loved how JTG & JoMo basically only went after each other in the Royal Rumble 2009 even though the fued was technically over - that impressed me).
Both teams were so creative, making short online vids and even music videos with Mizfits and MoFos. Then at Cyber Sunday, they got voted in OVER CM Punk who was that PPVs cover star, who would have been in a Tag Team Title match. Thanks Chris! Best interviewer!
yeah, i even remember miz & morrisons even make a music video to mock them, priceless....
This is a great interview! Shoutout to JTG and Chris!
RIP Shad
Thanks man!
Damn he done got swole! Glad to see he still doing good. To me, he was my favorite out of Cryme Tyme.
man's always been big lol he just looked small next to Shad
@@jadinkosmma5459 that's so true i rewatched some clip the other day it was hillarious
They were both underrated in the ring. They had the perfect big man-bigger man dynamic going.
@@julesmcgrules3860 they werent underrated everyone knew how good they were and they were champions, vince just has a hard on for breaking up good teams for 0 reason
@@jadinkosmma5459 i feel like you're right and yet wrong. But mostly i think you're right 😭
I miss Shad so much. Losing him hit me just as hard as losing Eddie and Owen did. I miss Shad, Eddie and Owen the most.
JTG that dude. Lets not forget Cryme Tyme matches with Benjamin/Hass and Duece and Domino. I feel Street Prophets are trying to do thier best Cryme Tyme impressions.
Street profits are way better dude and charisma and had more athleticism wwe were probably racist at the time so cryme time didn’t get push due to that probably
@@ahmednoseir7433 what are you even talking about? Cryme tyme had a type of charisma that would make a grown man cry. Everyone loved them, they had no haters. And please stop with that racist shit. It was cryme tyme who came up with the gimmick not the company themselves.
JTG vs Cody still needs to happen, then maybe JTG can challenge Darby for the TNT title
Frrr that would be great
JTG vs Cody vs Darby for the TNT title needs to happen
@Ye ummm wwe booking is bad ok why Finn went back to NXT, why Joe is doing a JBL/Tazz role, where's Ricochet, what happened to Mustafa get that big push, 🤔 why Kofi not wwe champion again or Big E didn't get a big push yet?
@@LTRUTH334 cause Finn sucks and he wanted to go back to NXT,Joe is a commentator because he is very injury prone. Ricochet and Ali are boring cruiserweight not main eventers if they grow some muscles and somehow get charisma out of nowhere they can be midcard. Kofi ain't a main eventers right now because he sucks as a main eventer that's why he is know for a midcard title holder and a tag wrestler. NEW DAY Big E can't be a main eventer sorry I can't take this Big E serious cause he doing all this cringey ass dick to the camera gags, Big E Langston possibly could had been a main eventer.
@@TheGrlAsh smdh ok Stephen McMahon
This is a wonderful interview! JTG is such a cool, interesting guy. Also, you two talk about a subject related to a paper that I'm writing for school, so this is getting a reference in my introduction.
Good luck with the paper!
My very first House show CRYME TYME faced Cade and Murdoch 2003.
I got a "Brooklyn Brooklyn!" sign signed by them both as I was sat in front row! RIP Shad, CrymeTyme4Lyfe !
Cryme Tyme didn't debut on the main roster until 2006.
JTG arms got big. He put arm around his neck, and put himself to sleep. He got the Devon Dudley arms.
JTG, just too good/gangster/God: I totally thought the G was Shad's last name so I could have swore as a kid in 2006 that you were both brothers 🤯
Same
Surprisingly that 'G' works on so many levels, it simply was just too good 🤣
Yeah cuz their black right?😂
I had to😂
@@brokenps2453 I thought shawn michaels and triple h were brothers when I was a kid😀
21:55 We all know Shad was an amazing person, but this story was really inspiring
I sang their theme song so many times.
Still do 💪
yo the time they sold Lillian's seat was crazy lol, the first people that stood up was lill bow wow and Omarion and Shad told them to sit down after shaking their hands cuz he wanted to to make sure a fan got to get it.
There should be a lot of wrestling fans that agree with JTG shad Gaspard deserves the warrior award great interview.
YO YO YO YO, POP ON HEADPHONES AND CHECK YOUR VOLUME....CHRIS VAN VLIET!
UA-cam! UA-cam! BYYYYOUUUUU.. he's bringing the, bringing the, wres'ling interviews
okay I'll stop now lmao
Too bad shad won’t be able to do an interview. He would’ve been amazing to hear rest easy
Much respect Chris 🙏🏽 R.I.P Shad
He could go from....
JTG - Just To Good
JTG - Just the gangster
JTG - just the God
And then
JTG - Just the G.O.A.T
Just by reading JTG's first book alone, I learned a lot of about the business that is WWE. It's an amazing book IMO
I really wanted cryme tyme vs enzo and cass😭😭 #ripshad
I use to see JTG in Gold's Gym here in Louisville when he wrestled for OVW and he was one of the coolest guys that wrestled for them.
Howdy Chris, i must say while i enjoyed your zoom type interviews; there is nothing like in person interviews. This is definitely one of your best ones cuz we haven't really heard JTG story in this kinda way. I always liked his character but him as a person; is such a cool humble dude. Job well done and i wish you a great day 😎💪🏼
Also thanks for the amazing discount on that cologne. I'll be trying that
ASMR is cringe
@@Joshdagod97 Says the guy with Goku as his profile picture 😂
@@liamversionone6491 that’s the only character you can recognize 😑
@@Joshdagod97 Never got around to watching Dragon Ball if I’m honest, I only have limited knowledge though. As far as characters that I know, my limit is Goku, Krillin, Vegeta, Piccolo and Roshi.
I never watched Cryme Time on WWE in their day, but JTG on the indies looks like he could be a big deal on TV! Seems like such a smart, nice dude too!
AEW 👀👀
I definitely teared up when Jay started talking about Shad going missing...
Once again, great interview Chris! Subscribed! I remember being at a house show once and JTG and Shad went around the ring and took a steal chair and signed it for a fan in the front. Lol I loved their gimmick as a tag team
Great as always! Feel like I just caught up with a old homie
I wanted them to feud with Enzo and cass so bad 😩
That would have been amazing.
Cryme Time would’ve buried those overrated hacks
@@RytheCodplayer nah I think they’d mesh very well together personally .
This is a great interview, learned a lot about JTG that I didn't know about, would love to see another interview with him in the future.
R.I.P.
Shad Gaspard ❤
Gone, but never forgotten.
Great interview. Cryme Tyme were one of my favorite tag teams growing up. Their theme is still one of my all time favourites
Did anybody notice JTG's shirt is Outkast's Stankonia album cover but with him and shad on it instead? or am i the only hip hop fan here? lol that was the first thing i noticed.
Good catch dude
Holy shit JTG is looking good. Always pissed me off what they did to him before releasing him.
What did they do
@@chewytoken4220 jobbed him out until releasing him. Only had matches on 205 or was in squashes. Then shit canned him right after he lost a match to Santino due to him selling the cobra.
@@green49285 that’s the biz
@@HiImRheya you aint lyin.
JTG looks like his arms got bigger since leaving WWE btw great interview as always
Just finished watching this interview. It awesome hearing & watching about your successful career. R.I.P Shad 🙏🏾.
Man i remember him from way back hes a monster now lol its nice to hear him telling stories about shad its just a tragedy he was a hero what a heroic act if thats not heroic i dont know what is ... :(
Shad was like a angel in JTG's life
Fantastic episode as always Chris!! I miss Cryme Tyme! RIP Shad 💙
How he held it together talking about Shad is amazing, cant imagine losing a best friend like that, hope he goes to aew
Keeping up with him since the beginning of his WWE run till now, without missing a beat.. I can vouch for him all day to say he's one deserving, humble, talented, ridiculously underrated guy. He was actually good even back when he was in WWE during his singles run. His matches on WWE Superstars with Chavo Guerrero, so many others.. They're missing money without him. Not to mention, he's bigger than most of the guys of today that does power moves lol.
JTG is a great storyteller, and Chris knows how to listen and maintain a smooth interview.
10:50 Is that John Laurinaitis he's impersonating? Sure as hell sounds like him.
Great interview as always Chris!
Head of Talent Relations, yep.
1st, rip shad. 2nd, jtg has gotten swole in ways id never have imagined.
Cryme Tyme were one of my favourite tag teams. What they did to Lita at Survivor Series 2006 was funny as hell..
R.I.P Shad
I even made a tribute video for Shad a while ago
Glad to see he is experiencing some success and able to stay busy both in general and considering the times we are currently living in w/ covid
JTG always been fine FINE!! Face, accent, body and Seems like a real like able guy too.
On a more important note, I think Crime Tyme was one of the most underrated tag teams in WWE. Definitely should have been Tag Champs.
Wouldn't be surprised if the Hall of Famer JTG was referring to was Michael PS Hayes.
Half the fans at that time probably didn't even know who he was anyway, so why get annoyed about something that people don't remember you for anyway?
I remember reading the book when it dropped, and from how he explained it in the book I think he was talking about Shawn Michaels.
I thought Shawn but wasnt sure what part of the book ?
I Feel sorry, for JTG. Losing his best friend, Shad gaspard. I was crying right now and Last year in may. Shad will never be forgotten.
I was looking forward to this interview not only because of the idea of discussing Shad, but also because Cryme Tyme was part of one of the top 10 most charismatic-unique-wildest tag teams of the 2000s............but my God, majority of the interview I couldn't stop eyeing the homie's biceps!
I need to cop that book and 86 these popsicle sticks I'm working with 💪🏽
Try to get curtis axel on. He hasnt spoken since he was release.
Dang JTG is huge
This was the best interview I watch the whole thing JTG have to go to AEW soon hopefully we see him down the road.
JTG could be a good Mid card heel
Cryme Tyme is one of my favorite Tag Teams of all time
Man y’all make me wanna move to cali 🌴
I wasn't planning to see the whole video but it was amazing I was hooked in the first 2 minutes...great segment 👏 I miss seeing jtg wrestle I do hope he comes back I think he would be a great asset to the wrestling business and you are a mentally strong guy sorry for your loss...cryme tyme was the best I wish you the best jtg
Another great interview man! Much love from NZ. JTG looking good brother
Fantastic interview. Smooth and professional. JTG seems like a good dude. Interview went by quick too - that good! For me to watch a video longer than 5 minutes is a rarity, lol.
This interview was just to good
*Nice hearing *J The God*, tell the same story about his time in OVW to Chris that he told to Lillian on her podcast when Shad first passed.
*R.I.P* *Shad The Beast Gaspard*
great vid
JTG arms damn near look the size or maybe even bigger than John Cena's holy shit
JTG is a very likeable & well mannered individual. That alone will get him far in wrestling, acting and other business ventures.
I love him. Him holding the VIP belt is great bc now I have an excuse to see him often
Imagine Cryme Tyme vs the New Day,the USOs or the Young Bucks...RIP Shad.
Another great interview, like always
From rhode island i was there and that was one of the best pops from here keep up the great vids Chris
I’m not gonna lie, when I was younger I used to think that JTG and shad were actual blood brothers or just at least cousins. It’s nice to see that JTG is doing well and keeping himself busy after the death of his close friend. He looks in great shape and he’s doing a lot of great things. I really wish him and shad would’ve won the tag titles at least once or twice. I definitely agree with him that shad should receive a warriors award, what a man he was, a true hero.
Shad for Warrior Award!!!
I love how he sent shots at Cody. I think it would work good if he joined the American Nightmare Family now that Hobbs is Heel.
Great interview. Jtg is awesome.
Seen the first comment about jtg looking like shad then he came on jheeze your not wrong Rest in peace shad
I cant believe how built jtg is now dudes massive
Been waiting for this.... BROOKLYN BROOKYLN... the 2 books have been awesome and the beard sheen is dope too
Wish I would have had the internet or a parent who encouraged him when I was younger. I know I can learn to take a over bump. I may still learn @ or beyond my 44 years of old. I just thank all y'all who entertain me and my kids each week. I will take a bump...maybe a few before my last bump.
I always loved Jayson! Glad to see that he's doing well and oh my those arms!
holy shit JTG looks jacked
JTG, Just too Good/Gangster, Jay the God
B&B, Beard & Body, Bread & Butter, Bed & Breakfast
This man be a skillful wordsmith 🤣
Man so glad hes so positive jst and cryme time one of the top teams to ever exist
Yo yo yo this is your boy JGT.. JJyeeaahhhhh!!!
Was curious how long do wrestlers typically hang around when the interview is done? Is it right away or do you maybe have a few brews first? What is that process like?
JTG man you are a great athlete man I respect you you are a great wrestler I have to say that man I enjoyed crime time it was an awesome awesome tag team R.I.P Shad Gaspard
Keep up the good work cvv
Great interview!!!!
Awesome interview.
I was so happy when y'all said Louisville the correct way!
Great interview!!! But you seemed you just woke up before the interview xD
Is all good.. money money yea yea
Cryme Tyme may have been a stereotype, but who cares? It´s still one of my all time favorite tag teams. They were hilarious, entertaining and had a great chemistry!
Chris, you don't know what the Road Warrior pop was? When the 1st chords of Iron Man were played, their entrance song the place would erupt
It took me 20 minutes into this to realize I'm wearing the same shirt as Chris as I watch this. Damn edibles.
What a shirt!
@@ChrisVanVliet 10/10 would buy it again. One of the most comfortable I've ever owned.
Are we just gonna ignore even Vince McMahon knows Dave Chappelle.
it'd be interesting to see him in aew. especially since he wont be held back by wwe. i hope he really considers a last run.
