Crime Time

[8.0] "I wonder why these guys never got the tag team championship. They were decent in the ring, Nothing special. But their character charisma and theme song was enough to get them over with the crowd. I really wish they got pushed more because they were very entertaining."

[6.0] "I don't think anybody could name one of their matches, but their charisma together and their presence as a team was really, really good. Granted, it was a stereotypical gimmick which doesn't particularly age all that well some 20 years later. But their stuff was entertaining, and you knew as soon as their music hit you were going to have a good time. Giving them a 6 simply because of their charisma together and the fact they were entertaining as hell. RIP Shad."

[8.0] "8 - Very entertaining gimmick. Stole the championship belts at a few house shows and ran away. Didn't care for them outside of tag-team wrestling. Slightly carried by their charisma, but I was a big fan."

[5.0] "I remember seeing the very first vignette for Cryme Tyme & thinking that there could really be something there. But they kind of flatlined early after their debut. They also had the unfortunate duty of being a tag team during a time when tag team wrestling was very low on WWE's priority list. They also eventually became a pure comedy act, which was not what I was looking for. They constantly did their "money, money" schtick, which became very old, very fast."

[7.0] "One of the best examples of tag teams that are greater than the sum of their parts. Their chemistry and charisma got them over while navigating an inherently insensitive gimmick and made it hilarious."

[8.0] "A blast from the past. When I was younger, I really liked the Cryme Tyme tag team, and as I got older, the more annoyed I got for them to never win WWE gold. Yeah, they followed stereotypes, but fair play to both JTG and Gaspard; they made this tag team work with their segments, promos, and charisma. Underrated and underappreciated."

[9.0] "Cryme Tyme was a tough sell, considering it was a stereotype gimmick and mostly positioned the duo as heels, but they always made it work. Shad and JGT were funny and happened to be pretty good in the ring. They will be an all-time underrated team."

[7.0] "Fun tag team. More of a gimmick than anything. Both could go in the ring but were better on the mic. Broken up too soon and once they were broken up neither man had a great singles career."

[8.0] "I really like the Cryme Tyme as a Team, they were entertaining and in ring they were alright, overall it's a great team."

[5.0] "We've already seen tag teams like Crime Time before, with the same gimmick, similar looks and same tactics. This team was no different. If only their skills were higher, maybe I would rate them higher. JTG was pretty much carrying this team, because even though he was smaller than his teammate Shad, he had much better skills. To sum up, just an average mid-card tag around 2010s years."

[4.0] "Even if you're willing to look past the rather awful stereotyping, Cryme Tyme were just not a good team in any capacity. They were fine at best with JTG carrying the team in the ring."

[7.0] "A problematic, and yes racist gimmick that was salvaged by the performer's natural chemistry. They were very over in a 2006-08 tag division that didn't really have any strong teams to speak of (outside of Miz and Morrison). I'm shocked they never got one tag title run as they definitely deserved it."

[8.0] "Looking back I actually have to say they were entertaining. Didn't really have any love for them when they first appeared but now they were a great team and had charisma, chemistry and decent double team moves."

[1.0] "I could never get into Cryme Tyme. Their gimmick rode the line of very bad taste and frankly crossed that line more than a few times. True, they did gain some popularity, but they were also booked very badly most of the time. I'm also not that impressed with the skills of either guy. Just not a team for me."

[4.0] "Well, they had charisma but weren't that good in the ring as a tag team."

[8.0] "I will admit that Cryme Tyme did get very stale after their feud in 2008 with John Morrison & The Miz, but before that, you can't ever deny that these guys, Shad Gaspard & JTG, they were a great duo! Not only did they have great chemistry with each other in the ring, but they also were a pretty colorful, unique and different tag team unlike anything we really saw before! Before they got stale in 2009 and early 2010 before they rightfully broke apart the team, these guys created some memorable funny moments as well. Most of the segments they had in 2006 and 2007 were hilarious like the Ho Sale segment with Lita for example, but after their feud with Morrison & Miz, they hit their peak as a team and they slowly but surely became stale unfortunately, especially with their Word Up segments with Eve Torres. Seriously, in my opinion of course, the only thing that was funny and great about those segments was Slam Master J's appearances and antics and it got to the point where I became more of a fan of Slam Master J than Cryme Tyme, and that wasn't good for them as a team at all. However, with that being said, 3 out of those 4 and a half years they were a team were still great years and those are the years I will remember most about them and I will agree that they should've been tag team champions at least once!"
