Stay blessed God bless you and your family in the mighty name of Jesus Christ and I pray that you and your loved ones are covered in the blood of Jesus Christ Amen 🙏🏾
Always shake hands and introduce yourself to the veterans, the agents, and the top guys. It is also showing a sign respect to them. The practice of wiping your boots on the apron before stepping through the ropes is one I always loved. You are showing respect to every wrestler that came before you, to your opponent, and to the wrestlers who have to wrestle after you.
So, if you watch Maven's videos "Unwritten Rules of the WWE Locker Room", "Things That Will Get You in Trouble in WWE" and "Why Do WWE Wrestlers Wipe Their Feet?", these have already been covered.
#3 is actually a similar hidden rule that’s even in football. If you weren’t on Varsity or the A team and you wore Under Armour long sleeves and leggings. You would get so much heat from others on the team.
I can relate to number 4. I played some good hockey back in the day and if you were a fourth line guy (like I was) on the massage table and a top 6 player came in for a massage and saw you there. You are definitely going to get an ear full.
I understand showing respect for people that were there before you and i do understand the #1 rule. But man a wwe locker room sounds like High School. No sunglasses and you cant get a massage before the main eventers do. If u paid for first class, you should be able to sit in that seat. But maybe some guys have egos. It sounds like alot of guys were walking around on egg shells when u were there. I really liked Cryme Tyme. I always said "money money yeah yeah" when i was little around my house.
It's top notch to see you started a channel man, I always enjoyed your charisma during the ruthless aggression era and you were "criminally" underrated. You had a certain A-1 realness that most of the current performers lack big time.
Real talk I appreciate the fact,your wrestling persona represents people born and raised in the hood, & that relates to a lot of inner city kids! Damn I do wish you & Shad had won the tag team titles! Rest In Peace Shad!
So every time I'm wondering why the crowd loves these superstars and they can never get over it's probably because I'm stupid backstage antics which also just proves that it wasn't only Vince McMahon's ego you had to deal with you had to deal with several other egos that will keep you down. Kind of like the Kofi Kingston Randy Orton situation because of us mistake Kofi made during a match with Randy he was held down for several years eventually overcame it but still held down
Just watched when shad won the warrior award for saving his sons life at the cost of his it’s awful he had to leave us but you were awesome walking his son into the ring and being there for him you looked better than ever hope you keep finding success in whatever life is taking you to
As someone that is pondering a professional wrestling career.... I find this very helpful! Thanks for making this video! All are logical and all are just basically common sense
Many years ago when I was still in elementary I remember being super stoked about having your elite series figure, it was for me the coolest one they’ve ever made, but I never got the late Shad’s action figure since ringside collectibles scammed me never shipped my order. I really would’ve loved having you two but sadly didn’t happen. You’re the man jay
Wow so happy to see you on yt. Cryme tyme was mine and my friends favorite team when growing up, i remember watching all the clips on youtube i could find back in the day. instant sub!
Cool to see you doing your thing on RUclips. Once read a story Shelton warned you against having a Bret Hart wallpaper because having a wrestling wallpaper will make you look like a mark. Some absurd things will get you heat.
Forgive me if you've gone over this before, or if this isn't your normal recording spot, but I've got a couple suggestions. 1. TONS of reverb in your video, a lot of this comes from the bare walls. I'd recommend picking up a cheap run of cloth, or a blanket, or a top sheet and putting it up on the wall. This alone is an inexpensive and easy way to cut down on the reverb. It'll make you a lot easier to understand and hear. 2. Your cam height is an issue, especially with your lighting setup. Would recommend picking up a rubbermaid tub and top or some books to raise it. They also have very inexpensive tripods on amazon. With raising the cam a bit, will also fix the brightness above you. Dig the video tho, and look forward to watching more.
Damn. If you had better camera quality and a more professional setup like Maven does you're channel would be going crazy. Definitely upgrade everything bro. Great video Great insight #CrymeTyme
I would hope that the modern day lifted the veteran rule. I couldn't give a fuck if someone was a classic wrestler, it's my seat I paid for it, I won't give it up. I'd gladly fight one of them for it and proudly wear my heat with humbleness.
@@jh_gunsquadxomb1068 man you sound logical but in certain businesses you have to kiss ass, especially since all it takes is for 1 guy to want you fired and you’re out. Then boom no more 3.5s and Wingstop. Then no more water and electricity.
JTG man you were definitely one of my favorites back in the day Cryme Tyme was one of the best teams going shout out to the big homie the Hero Shad Gaspard rip big man 🙏🏾 I just found the channel it's awesome brotha 💯
I love this new wave of wrestlers making youtube channels and giving us a behind the scenes look at the locker room. First with Stevie and Maven, now with one of my favorite wrestlers of my childhood, I just didn’t realize how crazy Cryme Tyme was 😂
Staying until the last match reminded me of how I'd be as a NASCAR driver. Even if I crashed out early or blew an engine early, I'd stay until that checkered flag waved. Cause it becomes your 2nd family or only family. Especially when you have a team and team mates you really click with. You don't leave the track until the race is over. Even then, you should stay after the race and help your crew members clean up and load the hauler(s). Not many drivers like that anymore cause they rarely ever have to pay their dues by running their own equipment on a tight budget and hoping and praying veteran drivers will offer help and guidance.
Nice vid, straight to the point ! I like it 🔥 Any lights on why Londrick (Paul London and Brian Kendrick) got buried by Triple H on that infamous RAW episode of 2007 ? From what I read and heard, it was related to many incidents between the two Pauls and Hunter claimed he'd make it up to them but it never happened 🧐
Wish I knew you had a channel a while before now. Grew up watching Cryme Tyme, you're rivalry with Shad broke my heart. I miss y'all together but I'm happy you found success even after WWE 💯
woow JTG... just saw this on my recommendations RUclips..... thank u for entertaining us back in the day... with love from Africa, Tanzania 🇹🇿 just subbed
I love these. Hey JTG, hit up Maven and do a crossover in a few more uploads. Also get yourself a better camera and microphone, maybe a tripod too. Talking about your matches and your life experiences in the entertainment business is great content and people will be interested, just gotta work on your presentation. I'm a big fan of all you WWE alumnis. Many of us grew up and spent years watching everyone, so do your thing player.
Stay Humble… it’s a very hard thing to achieve but if you know they want to see a negative reaction out of you, don’t let them see it. Don’t give them that satisfaction!
Yo J, can you make a video on how you came up with the "Shout Out" and how you feel when you see people use it now and call it a sling blade, great video btw
Ive only ever seen William Regal and Mark Henry wipe their feet on the apron and always wondered why, but it’s a sign of Respect. And thats kind weird considering you have a lot of other wrestlers who don’t wipe their feet but spit and what not in the ring lol
I wish cryme tyme had made a comeback. Or also, any type of return before Big Brother chad had passed away from being the phenomenal amazing human being & father that he was in his lifetime. But, i am glad & happy to have found or well randomly come across your RUclips channel. I hope you're doing great. Also, if not, hopefully, you will think & feel better from whatever it is in your life right now that temporarily got you down for a moment. Because it's all about that money! MONEY!! YEAH!!! YAAAAHHH!!!!!.
Hi JTG! Just discovered your channel and I'm always glad former wwe stars (like Maven) decide to share their thoughts here on YT. Last time I saw you in NWA and noticed you're in very good shape. Keep the hood a rollin bruh ❤.
@JTG Another one that I learned Years ago, was the "WORKER'S HANDSHAKE"(LIMP FISH) & I was taught that it shows the Man's hand that You shake, it shows them that YOU are showing them You're not a threat to them! I remember meeting F.T.R. & they were really impressed that I knew it, because I was in line, & noticed that they were doing this to FANS, & MOST fans were confused that these tough Wrestlers shook hands like a 5 Year old Girl!🤣🤣 But, I just wanted to know if this was still around during YOUR TIME in WWE, because I hear that if You NOW do that, You get fined, or REALLY get into trouble!? I Can't stand WWE anymore, I think that they became way too OVER OVER COMMERCIALIZED! Sorry if that offends You in any way, but I'm very OLD SCHOOL, & DAMN PROUD OF IT! CHEERS!🇦🇲🎙️💪🏽
The massage table is no joke ey? Back in the day I was a younger member of a soccer team, I got put on blast for getting a massage first. "Your not even 21, what do you need a massage for?" 😆 thanks for the memory, hope your channel gets the recognition it deserves.
Nice to see you doing some vids. Shad is a fucking hero and will be missed. Now you need to do a fig hunt with the MJ of wresting figure collecting and the other Major brother. Would love to see it.
JTG walked so that Jey Uso could yeet.
Xavier Woods big brother
@@rueservinfrfr tho
JTG >
What???
Uso are horrible. Embarrassing
Having more ex WWE wrestlers doing RUclips is new potential for Wrestling community on this platform, keep it up JTG!
Stay blessed God bless you and your family in the mighty name of Jesus Christ and I pray that you and your loved ones are covered in the blood of Jesus Christ Amen 🙏🏾
Who else has a RUclips? Looking for stuff similar to Jtg and Maven. I like Stevie Richard's too. I like more behind the scenes topics.
@@CONTROLFIRE9 Undertaker has a podcast and Mick Foley also has a channel. Oh and Matt Hardy too.
@@castielchieng7475 undertaker is a little more podcast interview style from the episodes I've seen. But I watch him and Kevin nash

As a kid that Cryme Tyme dance during the entrance was my favorite

I lost Stevie Richards, but now I have Maven and JTG!
Stevie started a new Pod on WSI with James Romero. Dropped yesterday
He still has one or two.
@@MyNameIsUnavailableDutch has a better one
His show is on wsi
I've also heard about shaking hands with everyone in the locker room and you definitely don't want to forget to shake someone's hand.
Pssh! I’m not going to try and find everyone and shake their hand especially if I just saw them the night before.
improve camera quality and I know this channel has potential ✊🏿
Being humble when new is how I got where I am in my job.
Every master is still a student, never assume you're the top shit.
No one wipes their feet like Regal.
I like this unwritten rule actually. I love the respect shown to this awesome business.
Gorgeous George says hello.
@@Speedyreedy1218 true very true lol
Razor Ramon too
I see u on that maven hustle I ain’t mad at ya! I’m subscribing.
Facts
I think the fact that a lot of older wrestlers are finding creative outlets is awesome. Keeps them busy, and lets them stay in touch with their fans.
@@anthonybarnes1903 man I love it. As a kid I always wondered about the behind the curtain stuff.
So, if you watch Maven's videos "Unwritten Rules of the WWE Locker Room", "Things That Will Get You in Trouble in WWE" and "Why Do WWE Wrestlers Wipe Their Feet?", these have already been covered.
@@JoeR203yep but hey it doesn’t hurt to hear it corroborated by another wrestler

Six things, actually.
I suppose that, if you're a badass like Haku/Blackman, no one will bother you.
Good to see you, JTG.
I understand showing respect for people that were there before you and i do understand the #1 rule. But man a wwe locker room sounds like High School.

Exactly. Sounds like a lot of veterans were divas.
Regarding that second sentence of your comment.
Eh, not really.
i still say this on pay day lol
Respect is big u wouldn't understand
I don’t care if you’ve been there before me I’m not gonna show you my respect you got earned that shit
It's top notch to see you started a channel man, I always enjoyed your charisma during the ruthless aggression era and you were "criminally" underrated. You had a certain A-1 realness that most of the current performers lack big time.
Real talk I appreciate the fact,your wrestling persona represents people born and raised in the hood, & that relates to a lot of inner city kids! Damn I do wish you & Shad had won the tag team titles! Rest In Peace Shad!
They stole the titles though.
It's funny cause I was playing SvR 2008, and now your channel popped up lmao. W algorithm
What JTG has a YT channel?? About to binge watch all these hell yeah!
That is a bully environment. You have to be and act less then to survive and big up someone else because their over naw.
So every time I'm wondering why the crowd loves these superstars and they can never get over it's probably because I'm stupid backstage antics which also just proves that it wasn't only Vince McMahon's ego you had to deal with you had to deal with several other egos that will keep you down. Kind of like the Kofi Kingston Randy Orton situation because of us mistake Kofi made during a match with Randy he was held down for several years eventually overcame it but still held down
Loved knowing you weren't billed from Brooklyn, but actually are from Brooklyn. It's nice when there's some authenticity in wrestling.
One of my most favourite scenes there with yourself, good ol willy regal and tha man Shad!!! R.i.p legend! Thanks man
Just watched when shad won the warrior award for saving his sons life at the cost of his it’s awful he had to leave us but you were awesome walking his son into the ring and being there for him you looked better than ever hope you keep finding success in whatever life is taking you to

Much respect to ALL you wrestlers no matter what hierarchy their is you guys entertained me in my childhood even till this day
I’m in the Navy. We have similar rules for when you report to your new command. The thing is while being respectful, you can’t come off as soft.
You're very consistent with interesting topics.
You kinda look like Xavier Woods
Im so excited you're on RUclips! I grew up watching you this is amazing
JTG! I read your books all those years ago. Great to see you on YT.
You guys gave me some of the best memories through a TV screen, I love the fact I’m able to keep up w/ my heroes💪
I listened to both audiobooks from JTG, very highly recommended, especially if you have dreams of becoming a WWE superstar.
Yerrr!!! Great book!! Glad you're doing well!! RIP Shad 🙏🏿 🕊
All your videos are great keep it up, must have been wild being in the WWE locker in the 2000s
@JTG
🎶 Thanks for bring the hood to us! 🎶

Thank you algorithm, instant follow. Learned the wipe rule on my first day of training before stepping in the ring to learn running the ropes
So glad to see more of JTG! To this day I still chant the Cryme Tyme theme.

Dude the wwe is a business. Sometimes you have to lower your ego if that means getting higher up in the company and feeding your kids.
@@RKelly. bud they need to lower their ego just because you’ve been doing something longer than me im not entitled to give them my seat

@@RKelly. No doubt that's how WWE was under Vince's reign, But I'd like to believe things have changed and it's more relaxed now.
Glad I’ve stumbled across JTG’S channel
bro i had your action figure growing up, big blessings!
I wish I had that figure now!
@@nlee4566 Cryme Tyme were always the champs on my roster
Oh man, details like these just confirm how little the fans actually know about the business, I had no idea. Nice video JTG!
