If Vince wanted to push you he would have. If turning down a limo ride was enough to stop your push then he never wanted to push you in the first place.
Let’s say you chose to get in Vince’s limo and you text Adolph that you left his bags. Then what? Dolph may get kinda salty. “You left my stuff like that?” Then the locker room finds out. Eyes start to roll, heads shake, “oh, so that’s how he is”. Folks not selling moves as much. Then the career gets dead dead. Maybe Vince wanted to pick an idea that was cringe inducing. You didn’t know he was testing you. Yes, you could have said “Yes I want to go but I’m waiting for Adolph to pull around as I can’t leave his stuff” or you could have given it to the front desk. Either way, the alternative decision isn’t alwaysbetter. Dignity won you respect that night, sir.
Dolph may have told the boys that you left his stuff on the side of the road to rock with Vince. You would no longer have been looked at as a man of principle by your fellow locker room. You did the right thing, Brother. That would've been a shoot interview story about you for sure. We all respect you for your decision.
WWE life really be like backstage Smackdown Here Comes The Pain. You get randomly tossed into a chance encounter and God help you if you pick the wrong answer. I don’t know how many times I tried to apologize to Taker, but he always chose violence lol 😂
Nah you chose your principles over your self ambitions…Nothing to be shameful about…Hell, you probably would have ended up on a deposition like Brock and John Lauranitis
Don't be a creep or a scummy bummy basically. Teach your fellow men to not have to fear a career or a life being ruined if they don't have that in their mind to be a ruiner. No one ruins these men's lives but the men in question and the answer was always be a actual person of merit. You either evolve or dissolve.
@@Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa669 cap, Vince has been and will always be this petty and does beta male shit like this to flex his power he once had, that why he no longer has his company. And there's more shit in this storm coming his way, there skeletons upon skeletons in his closet they were be unearthed and he will reap what he's sown all of these years.
I understand all the comments trying to make JTG feel better but honestly Dolph was being straight up and a friend...he kept it 💯 and it looks like J ended up aight in the end
I would've went with Vince and took Dolph's luggage with me and sent him a text saying something like: "Hey, change of plans. Got your bags, meet you at the arena." or something like that. That's just me, personally. Hopefully, Dolph wouldn't be mad at me, and I'd still be good with the boss.
You did the right thing. I imagine, on average, incidents like that will make or break a 'working' relationship in the wrestling world. If I were Dolph/Nic, I would have been happy you didn't have me solo. If anything Vince should have smiled, shook your hand and gave you kudos for not leaving y our buddy behind.
Ive always wondered if the performers/workers, ect, call each other by their personal or ring name. Lol. But as far as your story. That's effed up cause I would've made the same decision you made. Vince seems toxic & like someone who never grew past having an immature college jock mindset. The fact that he rolled his eyes, took a dig at who you're waiting on, & you had to feel like your career was over... Alllll because you did the morally right thing is crazy to me. I would've did exactly what you did. I would've regretted too for damn sure lol. The me that would've wanted to progress further in WWE, would've definitely wanted to go with Vince. That definitely was a golden opportunity. & The fact that Ziggler ass would've definitely went with Vince is the main part that would have me regretting it 😂😂😂 But the fact that you're not about doing someone dirty says a lottt about you. 💪🏾💪🏾✊🏾
JTG im a 28 year old fan and been watching yall since the mid 2000's . Bro of R-Truth, Carlito, are still in the business, you definitely should be there too. Not sure what your personal life is like big homie but you still got IT bro. Id love to see you in WWE again or at least AEW/TNA/NEW JAPAN, Please bruh your Charisma is still there OG
Just found your channel. Loving it! You were always one of my favorites. Hope you are doing well and thank you for all the entertainment over the years.
Enjoy hearing these stories J. You're a decent cool and down to earth brother mane. We're the same age and share a few similar stories. Met you at mania 38 at con. Made a vid of it on my channel. Yo, keep up the good work bro and look forward to seeing great things to come for you. ✊🏾✊🏾
This was really cool dude discovered your channel through it. Ps. Me and my friend used to literally start doing your guys' entrance whenever we heard the cryme tyme theme as kids
Nah cuz if you did take that ride with Vince I felt like Dolph would’ve been pretty chill joking about it like “Oh shit Vince asked you? That’s pretty crazy maybe you’re getting that push now” or something along those lines😂 but aye mad respect for choosing someone you’re more close to because I would’ve done the same thing ngl💯
It kind seemed like a semi lose lose situation if that make sense. If you went with Vince. Could it been a rib waiting to happen? (Doubt it, but still) also feel like certain guys including a few top guys def. Would of got word about it that you left dolph hanging and would of brought a lot of heat that would of killed your singles run or hold you back for a good long while Same time could have gone the other way around with Vince being like “we’re gonna make you the intercontinental champion when time is right. Keep it up JTG muhahah” prob still would have got heat or the locker would have been for it and push. Idk man I’m on the outside looking in..I respect your decision though.
literally the only difference between your channel and mavens is the camera and lighting, i think if you get it down right your channel will blow up instantly! maybe try to do an interview with some wrestling podcasters like Solomonster Sounds Off or Chris Van Vilet or hell try and get on Undertakers show to promote yours! Needs to be bigger!
Respectfully... RESPECTFULLY... I think you made the right decision if that's the way it happened. I think VM was disappointed cuz he wanted to do some strange sh*t
Not gonna lie in hindsight you made the right choice, all hell was breaking loose around him and I’m glad you didn’t allow yourself to get caught in the circus man, sometimes saying no can save you from seeing a lot of shit unfold.
Appreciate this share/vulnerability. your brain was in auto pilot, your integrity was front & center. unfortunately in business you have to be a little cut throat/selfish to get ahead. Maybe that limo ride would of opened new doors or maybe it wouldn't have the world will never know. Call HBK, would love to see you inserted in NXT to build up your reputation again.
Ah man, that's a pressure situation with Vince! But hey man, you were great in WWE and I think you did the right thing in hindsight bro... I'm sure many people see things through a different lens now
I get where you coming from. High profile bosses like Vince McMahon do small things to test you and the business relationship you'll have with them. Wrestlers like Undertaker, Stone Cold, Triple H, The Rock and Shawn Michaels were hip close to Vince.
Damn Bro... you missed out on a big opportunity to ride with the big man. Thats like a once in a lifetime thing. Hell the undertaker probably never got offered a ride from the big man.
I think you did the right thing. We’ve heard stories that happened with Vince and limos. You probably would’ve ended up as a name drop in Vince’s court stuff now.
I mean, even if you did get in the limo, knowing the locker room dynamic back then, it probably wouldn’t have been a good look for a lower mid-carder to ride in a limo with the company boss. I think you made the right decision because if Vince is that petty to derail your career over a car ride decline, then clearly, it just wasn’t meant for you to be there.
I feel like the worst thing WWE could have done was break you and Shad up, i mean in hindsight it really was unnecessary, then maybe 4 or 5 years later they ran THE EXACT SAME THING with Titus O Neil & Fred Rosser/Darren Young & that was also completely unnecessary. Both tag teams were super over & they didn't know what to do with y'all in 2009/2010 just like they didn't know what to do with them in 2014/2015. Smh, good talent not being used to the best of their abilities. Such a shame.
Plot Twist: In an alternate time-line, JTG joins a class-action lawsuit against a hypothetical billionaire. Let's just call him "Schmince 'I Pooped in Her Hair, Now You Duck Her' Schmacmahon".
Vince was a creep & an egomaniac, he saw any decision you made that didnt involve him as a slap in the face, instead of being an individual, from what I hear he was into some creepy shit so you prob dodged a bullet
He should tell everybody what or if there was a plan to set up a faction with cryme tyme and Cena. That's what that spot with JBLs limo was supposed to set up but I guess Cena got hurt when it was about to really kick off
Tell Vince to wait for Dolph so you can both get a ride. lol I think you did the right thing, though it may have hurt your wrestling career. Being good isn't always the easiest choice. Are you still friends with Dolph? That also matters when determining if it was the right decision too.
Will I tell you a story back in 2005 I went to my very first WWE raw show in Atlanta Georgia at the Philips arena after the show all the fans went one way to see the wrestlers enter their buses and limos and cars I want the other way of the arena to meet my dad😊 so I seen this black limo pull up on the side of me and it was just me and the limousine the limousine was creeping very slow and the window was rolled down halfway and when I look to my left it was Vince McMahon looking right at me and I said Vince and he smiled and waved at me but in this case Vince McMahon didn't offer me a ride damn you Vince 😅
You should call triple H and ask for a NXT tryout then go to the main roster you where a good team team with Shad RIP hope to see you in the ring again
I mean choosing to ride with Zingler over the Billionaire boss was kinda a dumb decision. Connections and who you now is how you get far in life most of the time.
If Vince wanted to push you he would have. If turning down a limo ride was enough to stop your push then he never wanted to push you in the first place.
You're looking way into it. Stop acting there was a chance of him becoming world champion
You don't know that. That limo ride could of added my years onto JTG career.
@@kbshowtyme we can sit here all day and talk about hypotheticals. I said what i said.
@@WoodRumble did I say he was going to become world champ?
@@RugbyCardigan people for real think a push = world champ grandslam LOL

Why do you call him Adolph ? 🤣🤣
I really, really dislike autocorrect. And why did it correct with that name?! "Oh, you didn't mean a World Champion, you mean this dude". Sheese
after hearing that, that shows you are a better person than most in the locker room, you showed honor and loyalty.
Dolph may have told the boys that you left his stuff on the side of the road to rock with Vince. You would no longer have been looked at as a man of principle by your fellow locker room. You did the right thing, Brother. That would've been a shoot interview story about you for sure. We all respect you for your decision.
Vince was overly petty. Shame he took that out on you.
All rich guys are like that

@@lostintheark5728all rich guys are like that
Bruh Brock had no wrongdoing. Why would wwe be thinking about bringing him back if he did that stuff.
Wah wah wah. Same old shit with you marks… and if you don’t think that was a bad business decision declining the ride with Vince you’re nuts
This is actually what ended ZIGGLER’S career in WWE.
“JTG wants to ride with Ziggler instead of me, huh?” *proceeds to never push Ziggler again*
Facts 😭
I understand all the comments trying to make JTG feel better but honestly Dolph was being straight up and a friend...he kept it 💯 and it looks like J ended up aight in the end
I would've went with Vince and took Dolph's luggage with me and sent him a text saying something like: "Hey, change of plans. Got your bags, meet you at the arena." or something like that.

Your Character and Integrity was the highlight of this story.... Screw Vince he never portrayed Brothers in a positive way in his promotion.
I remember using your theme music with my entrance in smackdown vs raw 2008.
You made the right decision. You can’t trust Vince McDiddy lol+Dolph is a real friend
Sound like dolph career ending that day also
Especially if that happened after his world title run Vince is that petty
damn jtg vince was prolly gonna give you a big push my guy😭 still never to late to come back to wwe tho👀👀
"DOLPH ZIGGLER OVER ME?!" jimmy butler voice
loving the channel man. Yall was my childhood favorite tag team man
Honestly JTG you did the right thing RESPECT 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
JTG you are literally my favorite wrestler ever man. Greatest talent WWE ever had.
Ive always wondered if the performers/workers, ect, call each other by their personal or ring name. Lol.
But as far as your story. That's effed up cause I would've made the same decision you made. Vince seems toxic & like someone who never grew past having an immature college jock mindset. The fact that he rolled his eyes, took a dig at who you're waiting on, & you had to feel like your career was over... Alllll because you did the morally right thing is crazy to me.

But the fact that you're not about doing someone dirty says a lottt about you. 💪🏾💪🏾✊🏾
JTG im a 28 year old fan and been watching yall since the mid 2000's . Bro of R-Truth, Carlito, are still in the business, you definitely should be there too.

This was really cool dude discovered your channel through it.

I would of became “Corporate JTG” so fast😭😭😭
Already a huge fan of your content. Absolutely loved watching u back in the day
I cringed when I heard your response 😂
JTG: It’s ok Boss, I’m riding with Dolph!
VKM: 😶
JTG: Why are you staring at me like that?
Dolph: Ready, Buddy?
JTG: 😶
I remembered when you were still signed and getting the bag even if I didn’t see you on the shows for a long time, I wished that was me at my job. 😂
I met Vince, and I know that look.... that's an awesome story, JTG. I brought both ya books. #notorious #gotastorytotell
this is cool af you running a channel bro 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
😂😂😂 wuz Pat Patterson in that Limo 😂
Nah cuz if you did take that ride with Vince I felt like Dolph would’ve been pretty chill joking about it like “Oh shit Vince asked you? That’s pretty crazy maybe you’re getting that push now” or something along those lines😂 but aye mad respect for choosing someone you’re more close to because I would’ve done the same thing ngl💯

Durag Vince would’ve said “Hey JTG my ninja, you want a ride”
Love the videos!! Entertaining stories
Bruh yal was a dope tag team love this channel,but how in the hell did yal pull them moves off in them Tims? 😂😂😂 great video 👊🏾✊🏾
This story is hilarious! Vince was probably so let down 😂
You did the right thing...ain't no telling what Vince wanted to do.
literally the only difference between your channel and mavens is the camera and lighting, i think if you get it down right your channel will blow up instantly! maybe try to do an interview with some wrestling podcasters like Solomonster Sounds Off or Chris Van Vilet or hell try and get on Undertakers show to promote yours!

Vince what about to invite you to the Diddy party. You did the right thing.
I get where you coming from. High profile bosses like Vince McMahon do small things to test you and the business relationship you'll have with them. Wrestlers like Undertaker, Stone Cold, Triple H, The Rock and Shawn Michaels were hip close to Vince.
I am a huge fan of Crime Tyme man, I bought both of your books, keep doing your shit, you're going to get big
Loving this content bro
Met you guys in Verona New York at the turning stone resort and casino
Love to do a pod with you bro 💯
good career advice jay
Damn Bro... you missed out on a big opportunity to ride with the big man. Thats like a once in a lifetime thing. Hell the undertaker probably never got offered a ride from the big man.
JTG!!!!! Oh shit u got a channel??? Just subscribed you the truth bro
I think you did the right thing. We’ve heard stories that happened with Vince and limos. You probably would’ve ended up as a name drop in Vince’s court stuff now.
Bro passed the bro check. Good man

I think you made the right decision because if Vince is that petty to derail your career over a car ride decline, then clearly, it just wasn’t meant for you to be there.
Jtgs needs more subs
Dang…that’s wild. Either way? Wwe run is definitely memorable.
good to see you! hope all is well
I wonder if Vince was testing you to see what your response would be.
The fact that you didnt leave dolph and go put yourself over on a ride with the boss means you are a solid dude who i would always want on my team
When keeping it real goes wrong
Yea you messed up . Vince didn’t even want a meeting with undertaker. A conversation can change everything
Would've loved to see where you could've gone as a singles. keep it up I like the channel.
I feel like the worst thing WWE could have done was break you and Shad up, i mean in hindsight it really was unnecessary, then maybe 4 or 5 years later they ran THE EXACT SAME THING with Titus O Neil & Fred Rosser/Darren Young & that was also completely unnecessary.

What up JTG love to see you on RUclips hope your doing well I’m watching the Movie “Signs”
You get in and UNBEKNOWNST to YOU, one of those chicks that's SUING HIM would've been in there...
and it's" The Biggest Regret from Your WWE Career"..
You chose DOLPH OVER VINCE. lol we all make mistakes but damn my guy lol
Plot Twist: In an alternate time-line, JTG joins a class-action lawsuit against a hypothetical billionaire. Let's just call him "Schmince 'I Pooped in Her Hair, Now You Duck Her' Schmacmahon".
That master mason is racist
gotta tell more road stories from the mid 2000s
Atleast Dolph was honest lol, but things happen for a reason big dawg, it is what it is right?😂
Awesome channel JTG you would be a great Guest on Cafe de Rene
Dang man. This is one of those moments it either goes left or right. Cross roads for sure 🤣🤣 Cant imagine the weight of that decision
You should join JCW tour
I mean you already had a ride bruh 😂
Vince was a creep & an egomaniac, he saw any decision you made that didnt involve him as a slap in the face, instead of being an individual, from what I hear he was into some creepy shit so you prob dodged a bullet
He should tell everybody what or if there was a plan to set up a faction with cryme tyme and Cena. That's what that spot with JBLs limo was supposed to set up but I guess Cena got hurt when it was about to really kick off
Im texting him the boss just scooped me up see ya at the show ✌🏿
You did the right thing
i would of went & just texted ziggler he would of understood
JTG HAS A RUclips CHANNEL!!!!
Biggest regret of your wwe career? Is it answering your phone that one time?
Tell Vince to wait for Dolph so you can both get a ride. lol
I think you did the right thing, though it may have hurt your wrestling career. Being good isn't always the easiest choice. Are you still friends with Dolph? That also matters when determining if it was the right decision too.
But overall I love ya Jtg but for the fans sake can you tell me or give me a hint who you were talking about in the massage story in your first book
Everything happens for a reason.
Will I tell you a story back in 2005 I went to my very first WWE raw show in Atlanta Georgia at the Philips arena after the show all the fans went one way to see the wrestlers enter their buses and limos and cars I want the other way of the arena to meet my dad😊 so I seen this black limo pull up on the side of me and it was just me and the limousine the limousine was creeping very slow and the window was rolled down halfway and when I look to my left it was Vince McMahon looking right at me and I said Vince and he smiled and waved at me but in this case Vince McMahon didn't offer me a ride damn you Vince 😅
I probably would have taken a ride with Vince instead.
What Was The Biggest Regret That Happen In WWE???
You should call triple H and ask for a NXT tryout then go to the main roster you where a good team team with Shad RIP hope to see you in the ring again
2:50 - Yes. Yes, he is.
To be fair, Vince beat Triple H to become the WWE champion back in 99 lol.
I mean choosing to ride with Zingler over the Billionaire boss was kinda a dumb decision. Connections and who you now is how you get far in life most of the time.
Hey question jtg , how was ziggler backstage ? And does he really flirt with divas and can be seen with them all the time like i heard ?
Subbed.
It was probably some freaky shit going on in that limo!! 😂
After reading those texts Vince was probably going to ask him to do his girlfriend while he watched.
Im riding with dolph personally
Sheeesh my guy
