10 Wrestlers WWE Gave Up On Too Quickly
10 wrestlers WWE gave up on too soon
7. Shad Gaspard
If you had to bet money on one of the members of Cryme Tyme being pushed strongly and succeeding in singles once they broke up, you’d have put it on Shad Gaspard. Shad had the height and the muscularity that WWE typically coveted (as well as presence and charisma and all that other good stuff).
Shad clearly believed in himself, too, which is why he pitched the team breaking up so that he could have a solo run to WWE creative in early 2010. He got his wish but not the results he desired, as he was hastily beaten in his and JTG’s rushed Strap Match at Extreme Rules, essentially blowing off their feud mere weeks after his big heel turn.
He did get a win over his former partner on the often-forgotten Superstars show a short time later, but after one more squash match win, WWE decided that Gaspard was missing something and sent him to FCW, where he spun his wheels for a few months before being released.
Shad had all the tools to do more and go further on his own, but WWE evidently didn’t see it.
