10 Hidden Gem Wrestlers That Would Blow WWE Fans' Minds

Yes, that JTG.

The former Cryme Tyme man has been out of WWE since 2014. Having stayed with the promotion for four years after being split from the late Shad Gaspard in 2010, the 36-year-old has largely disappeared from the mainstream fan's view, keeping a sporadic independent schedule for many years before levelling up to such an extent that he is now delivering some of the best work of his career.

That's why JTG is on this list. If you've been a WWE fan for a while, you probably know who he is. What you probably don't know, however, is the work he has been putting in over the past couple of years, as much of it has played out on some of America's smaller stages.

JTG has transformed himself physically and as a performer. He has his general presentation down to a tee and has evolved his in-ring game to the extent that when the bell rings, he's barely recognisable from the wrestler he used to be, having proven himself able to hang with the indie scene's biggest and brightest. Few former WWE stars are as worthy of another run on television - and his growth would pop the universe.
