5 WWE Superstars who revealed their private chats

#4 JTG shares emotional chat with Shad Gaspard after the latter's tragic passing

Back in May, former WWE Superstar Shad Gaspard disappeared while swimming with his son at Venice Beach. Gaspard was caught in a large wave, immediately after which he went missing. Before he was taken away by the waves, Gaspard made sure that his son would be safe, in the ultimate act of bravery. Soon after, Gaspard's former tag team partner JTG posted a tweet that featured a screengrab of a chat the duo had back in January. Gaspard told JTG that if he dies tomorrow, he wants him to know that he loves JTG as a brother and a friend. Check out the tweet HERE.

Cryme Tyme was insanely popular in WWE, back in the day

Gaspard and JTG had a stint in WWE a long time ago and were dubbed Cryme Tyme. The duo never won the tag team titles, but was incredibly popular among the WWE Universe. Gaspard was only 39-years-old at the time of his passing. The wrestling world will always remember him for protecting his son minutes before he left the world in a tragic manner.

He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
