[9.0] "I enjoyed Cryme Time as a kid. I find myself enjoying them even now despite the stereotypes and racism. Even if the gimmick was distasteful, he was an amazing human being. He put as much effort as he could into his gimmick and his promos. He tried with his in ring work even if it wasn't the best. I was so disappointed that his team never got tag team gold. I recently learned how he had passed. He died saving his son. A true hero. We need more people like Shad in our world. Especially in the wrestling world. Rest in Peace, Shad. You will be missed dearly."

[10.0] "He gets a high rating from me because he risked his life to save his son. He's truly earned my respect in life. There are guys in life that always do amazing things. Well, that was truly amazing the fact that he saved his son. And his son unfortunately doesn't have a father anymore. But he will always have the memories of his dad especially his dad being heroic."

[10.0] "No matter what you might think of him as a wrestler, Shad Gaspard was great person. According to Chris Jericho (my favorite wrestler of all times), working with him was a pleausure and many other big names had great thing to say about him. Sure that doesn't make him a great wrestler, but being a great guy is way more important."

[10.0] "Shad is a very good man. Much respect for shad. Man gave up his own life to save his son. Shad was also a great tag team wrestler alongside JTG in the team known as Cryme Time they where the funniest back in the day with DX And Spirit Squad."

[3.0] "I actually liked Cryme Tyme more than most, but that team didn't last long & Shad was nothing as a single. Even a case could be made that the team was mostly pretty poor. Bland & mostly a one note guy."
