Cryme Tyme was an American professional wrestling tag team consisting of JTG and Shad Gaspard, best known for their tenure in WWE.

[4] He was recruited by WWE talent scout Tom Prichard and trained with DeWayne Bruce for six months[5] before debuting in Ohio Valley Wrestling (OVW) under the ring name Da Beast.

JTG meanwhile had debuted as Just Too Good in OVW and after two matches, he was repackaged as The Neighborhoodie and subsequently placed into a tag team with Gaspard, who began performing under his real name.

After they won the championships, they entered into a feud with CM Punk who teamed up with Kane to defeat them and Simon Dean in a handicap match.

In late 2006, WWE promoted The Gang Stars to the main Raw brand roster, starting by having them work live events and dark matches.

[9] Before the vignettes aired, WWE placed a statement on their website, WWE.com, stating:[3] Tonight a new tag team, Cryme Tyme, will be introduced to the Raw audience.

This attempt at Saturday Night Live like humor is bound to entertain audiences of all ethnic derivations.We hope you enjoy the weekly adventures of Cryme Tyme.The vignettes, which aired weekly, featured Cryme Tyme robbing people while an announcer dubbed their actions "training exercises" designed to work on things like "speed", "agility", "drive", "endurance", and "intensity".

[10][11] Cryme Tyme wrestled as fan favorites at live events and in dark matches, finally making their television debut, defeating Johnny and Mikey of The Spirit Squad on the October 16 episode of Raw.

[12] After arriving on Raw, they were depicted covertly stealing things—such as Jerry Lawler's laptop,[13] and a plasma screen TV[14]—during interviews and while celebrating wins with the announce team.

[16] In the skit, a wrestler (Nick Berk) — acting as a stand in for Richards — recreated the scene of the incident by using racial slurs and insults until Cryme Tyme confronted him on stage.

JTG and Gaspard returned to WWE under the Cryme Tyme name on the March 31 episode of Raw in 2008, defeating Lance Cade and Trevor Murdoch.

[30] Separately, Cryme Tyme started a feud with then World Tag Team Champions Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase, stealing their championship belts for a time,[31] then losing a title match to them at Unforgiven.

However, due to health concerns regarding Gaspard, Cryme Tyme (along with most of the SmackDown team) was replaced by Matt Hardy, R-Truth, The Hart Dynasty and Finlay.

The following week on SmackDown, Cryme Tyme were facing The Hart Dynasty, but were attacked by The Undertaker while he was sending a direct message to Shawn Michaels for a match at WrestleMania XXVI.

[46][47] Their final match took place on February 15, 2020 at former WWE wrestler Santino Marella's Battle Arts promotion in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada.
