Aren’t you impressed?

Before making it big with Cryme Tyme in WWE, Shad Gaspard had a memorable stay in combat sports. He started training in boxing when he was just five years old and MMA training began soon after. He was mostly into Bar fighting tournaments that involved boxing, Kick boxing and MMA and has an impressive win-loss record of 35-7 in such no-holds-barred fights.

He was also incredibly athletic in his school days as well, having tried his hand in wrestling, track, and basketball. After spending some time as the bodyguard for celebrities like Britney Spears, Puff Daddy, Cuba Gooding Jr. and Mike Tyson, Shad decided to get into professional wrestling.
