10 Crazy Wrestling Social Media Meltdowns
7. JTG Blasts WWE
Blasting your former employers soon after severing ties with them is nothing new in the wrestling business. Though often unwise, it's natural for wrestlers to want to get their long-held frustrations off their chests and out in the open, providing the basis for many a shoot interview over the years.
Doing so while still contracted to the company in question probably isn't a good idea, though.
That's exactly what former Cryme Tyme member JTG did following an episode of WWE Monday Night Raw in 2012. Fed up with his lowly place in the pecking order, and tired of going unused on another episode of the company's weekly flagship show, he decided that posting on Twitter would be the best way to voice his dissatisfaction:-
He followed up by saying that nobody else would speak up for fear of losing their job or being taken off television. Surprisingly, and in spite of the fact that they'd just been accused of "taking advantage" of the locker-room, WWE decided against disciplinary action, and JTG remained under contract until 2014. His fortunes didn't improve, however, and he was barely used for the remainder of his tenure.
