Short story even shorter because I’m a retard and lost the first time I wrote this and don’t really want to re-write it but it’s too good of a story to go unmentioned on the brog that’s never up: Former WWE wrestler and member of the tag team Cryme Tyme, Shad Gaspard, physically incapacitates would-be robber at gas station and restrains him until cops arrive
Sometimes, stores write themselves. Of course this story took place in Florida, where the vast majority of crazy people seem to live, and where the vast majority of former, indy and developmental professional wrestlers reside. Kudos to Shad Gaspard for reacting quickly and appropriately in laying out a dumbass who thought it was a good idea to try and bully a 6’6 285 lb. behemoth of a man, and then inform him that he was going to try and rob the joint.
I think my favorite part about the story wasn’t necessarily the fact that the perpetrator was actually armed with a BB gun and not a real gun, but the fact that when Gaspard removed it from his person, he actually crushed it in his grip:
Gaspard told TMZ he found that out when he squeezed the handle so hard it broke.
Of course he crushed it in his hand like he were Luke Cage or something.
It’s just all so funny, because while in the WWE as a member of Cryme Tyme, Gaspard was teamed with JTG (who was coincidentally in the car and called the cops) and portrayed as two petty crooks whom like their namesake, committed crimes (get it), like stealing and running from authorities. But in reality, they’re pretty normal guys whom when shit hits the fan, does what’s right and puts a cretin on the ground and lays him out until the police arrive.
Who would have guessed that outside the confines of the WWE, Cryme Tyme would be preventing crime time?
