10 Desperate WWE Superstars That Used Social Media As A Cry For Help
9. JTG Makes Tyme For His Colleagues
Long used as a shorthand gag for a wrestler having a job just to do jobs (in dark days where wrestlers were cut in almost celebratory fashion by the company a few times a year), JTG stuck around at the very bottom of the company totem pole a lot longer than most realised, ultimately lasting eight years on WWE's books before a 2014 release put a bullet in a career that was, in truth, long dead.
He'd later to go on to write two small but perfectly formed books about his time with the company. 'Damn! Why Did I Write This Book?' and 'DAMN! WHY DID I WRITE THIS BOOK TOO? (How to play THE GAME)' were cult hits for their not-that-coded digs at performers up and down the WWE hierarchy, foreshadowed by a deeply frustrated 2012 tweet that sadly didn't dig him out of his creative hole as he may have hoped.
There was more than element of nobility to the gesture - he was going to bat for everybody at a time in which talent were probably never worse off in WWE. Yet to see the fruits of Triple H's NXT labour flourish, a JTG had less value to the organisation than the fake jewellery he'd once sported as a Cryme Tyme hoodie. It was time for a change - the Cryme Tyme member just wasn't the man to make it so.
