Shad Gaspard says he was suppose to feud with Cena

[Sparkybob]

On Cryme Tyme's break-up: "What happened was it was just time. It was one of those things where we weren't getting titles for whatever reason and you know, if we break-up, we can break up and always come back together because you know, no matter what we're still brothers. So plans for me that, I was told a year after I got released, I was told my plans by some of the old writers. A lot of the old writers live in L.A. And we always talk. We always have lunches and a lot of them are working at Paramount, where I'm at and they will see me and be like 'Oh yeah, this guy used to be a wrestler.' But I know the plans for me was I was supposed to go to Raw and face Cena and I actually remember the day of the draft and I didn't get drafted to Raw like I was supposed to that night so I was like something's up. So we came to Smackdown the next day, I remember walking down the hallway and seeing Michael Hayes and I was like 'what am I doing today?' and he said 'I don't f-ing know because you're not supposed to be here.' So it was supposed to be me vs. Cena and they were supposed to build me up as a major heel on Raw. But because of certain agents and certain people didn't think I deserved it all of a sudden I became the guy that can't wrestle."

So they were going to give Shad a JBL-esque push from mid card tag team to main event heel. I just can't believe this is an actual true story because I can't imagine Shad as a top heel or in any big time 1 on 1 feuds.

[Rican]

Yeah, I don't buy that at all.

[Bub (BLM)]

I thought they turned him heel in order to break him away from JTG because Shad wanted to give acting a go outside of WWE...

[joebob27]

How was that going to work when the Nexus angle started a few months later?

[Jimmy]

Shad's Tyme!

[Old Jack Burton]

Probably a lot of people get promised things that they if they actually stepped back for a second and thought about it are never going to happen. He might have been intended to job to Cena on RAW one night in order for blah blah blah RAW s***

Shad, I hate to break it to you, but you didn't deserve it, and you flat out sucked as a wrestler.

[Citizen Grimm]

This sounds a lot like a guy trying to talk himself up.

I was just thinking that a two minute job to Cena would have really turned things around for Shad's career.

It's possible one writer pushed the idea of a Shad/Cena mini-feud and Shad's now blown it out of proportion.

Wasn't it only a few months before Cryme Tyme's breakup that allegedly a ton of people in WWE were pissed off at Shad because he implied that he had swine flu in order to get time off, then went partying in nightclubs?

If so, Shad the Liar would've been an awesome gimmick.

[Ishmeal Loves Kaseyhausen]

If the amount of guys who said they were supposed to get pushes actually did, we'd have about 50 main eventers right now.

He would encounter wrestlers at random areas around the arena and his lies would sometimes be meta commentary from the writers to the viewers.

[Drillbit Taylor]

Sounds like what Heenan said about Hogan. The only ones who are bitter about him, and complained were the ones who never got to work a program with him. They will make up lies that they were gonna get him but got screwed out of that big pay day.

[mizerable]

Sounds like people were feeding him BS to stroke his ego for some reason. And yeah...that's the story you hear with every wrestler. They were going to be big time until someone intervened. Mmmmhmmm....suuuuure.

[Big Kahuna Burger]

That sounds completely made up.

[PKO]

Reading about his acting is genuinely a little sad because he believes he has a chance and he's just god awful.  

And is anyone interested in a Shad reality show/documentary? What a dull waste of time that would be. 

[Lardlad]

Really Shad? D'Ohkay!
