JTG's last televised WWE match - an unedifying defeat at the hands (or gloved hand) of Santino Marella on a Superstars taping - came on 16 September 2013. He wasn't released from his WWE contract until the following June.

By that point, the one time partner in Crime Tyme's continued tenure had become something of a running joke. His WWE spell became an online meme, with message board tykes ironically questioning which would go on longer: JTG's employment, or The Undertaker's streak? There was even a countdown clock tracking his days in work.

In the end, the Neighbourhoodie outlasted the Phenom's vaunted record by 67 days. Even JTG was in on the gag; on the day of his release, he posted a satirical Tweet, asking, "Damn! Why I pick up my phone?"

Benjamin was born in 1987, and is still not dead. He variously enjoys classical music, old-school adventure games (they're not dead), and walks on the beach (albeit short - asthma, you know). He's currently trying to compile a comprehensive history of video game music, yet denies accusations that he purposefully targets niche audiences. He's often wrong about these things.
