Former WWE Superstar JTG recently spoke to wrestlingnews.co about his time with WWE as well as his take on Vince McMahon and Triple H:
If there was racism in the WWE:
“I wouldn’t say that they’re [WWE] racist but there’s definitely a system in place, that I believe… this is my opinion, that African-American, black Superstars, can only go so far. That’s from what I’ve seen and that’s my perception because as of right now to this day I’ve never seen a black WWE Champion. Not the title from WCW, I’m talking about the WWE Championship. I haven’t seen a black face of the company.”
Would he return to the WWE someday:
“As of right now, I have no desire to go back on the road full time with WWE. I got that out of my system. I lived out a childhood dream. I’m focussing on other accomplishments and I’m working on other projects. I just did a movie that should be coming out in July called “Bad Nights”. I play a character that chases around these two high school girls that got themselves into trouble and I’m one of the bad guys. I also have some good lines in there too.”
Is Vince McMahon out of touch:
“I don’t know what is going on in the creative room or what’s going on in the writers room but I think… my opinion is that there needs to be a little bit more diversity and a little bit more people of different backgrounds that know exactly what’s going on and what’s in and maybe a younger generation. I doubt that Vince McMahon knows what Instagram is and what a meme is.”
The one Superstar that Triple H is not high on:
“In my opinion, if Triple could put aside his ego and his dislike for a person and focus on business then I think it could probably be a lot better. For example, I don’t think he was a big fan of Zack Ryder. Zack Ryder did everything he could to get over and he got over and when was in MSG and The Rock was there and they were chanting Zack Ryder’s name. I wasn’t in New York [at the time] but my buddy told me that he went to Survivor Series and he was on the train and they were chanting for Zack Ryder. That was the perfect time to take advantage and make some money off of Zack Ryder. That was the perfect underdog story and it was all thrown to the side because he wasn’t favored by Hunter.”
