Was anyone else on here as disgusted as I was by the blatant burial of JTG due to his remarks on Twitter? The entire thing, to me, was an obvious Vincent Kennedy McMahon idea. The entire thing seemed like Vince was trying to teach everyone who has an issue with their standing in the company to keep their mouths shut. It pissed me off, because what Cole and Lawler were saying was so obviously lines fed to them via Vince. I mean, these lines included:

"I gotta feeling that JTG wishes he'd kept his mouth shut!"

"Well JTG ran his mouth, wanted an opportunity."

"I can't wait til JTG tweets about this."

This is purely speculation, but I wouldn't be surprised if Vince spoke to Ryback personally and asked him to stiff JTG, because if you watch the powerbomb, Ryback slammed him pretty damn hard.

I guess WWE's new motto is, "Shut the hell up or get stiffed by Ryback?"

Anyway, who else is as pissed off about this as me? JTG had a legitimate concern, you know, that he got NO OPPORTUNITY TO SHOW HIS TALENTS, but he was met with a two minute squash and burial from the commentators who are supposed to get talent over. I'm impressed that JTG made it work though, his line about getting pink eye was pretty amusing.

Yeah you can have all the talent in the world, but if Vince doesn´t trust you, you won´t even get a chance at showcasing your talents.

Think about your personal situation. Think of how many people view your employer each day. Think of how many of those people would view your facebook or twitter if you were to rant about your employer there. How do you think your boss would react, if you went public with your displeasure rather than take it up with your superior? Do you think you'd be long for your job? I doubt it.

If JTG has a problem with the people who pay his fucking salary, he should tell them directly or quit the company and then go on as many rants as he wants. There's plenty of guys out there who would love to have the chance to make an impact and make more than an indy or FCW paycheck.

Wha was JTG doing when Ryback was giving him his finisher? He was doing something with his hands.....only thing I could think of was he might've been trying to let Ryback know that he was hurt?
He was trying to break out. It's good acting. Instead of just taking the slam. It was a nice touch

Hmm...I don't know how to read this.

Certainly seems like a burial...BUT...he did get air time. Vince could have easily put him on House Shows and Superstars only, basically what he's been doing, but this for the rest of his time employed., and no one ever hear from the guy again. Although decimated he at least got 5 minutes and a backstage segment.

Well it depends on what happens next. If JTG is released within the week, I'll be pissed because he was squashed, embaressed & fired for airing an issue on Twitter. However, if the was just a one time punishment & something actually comes from this (like more air time), I have no issue with this. I'll have to wait & see.

Felt bad for him really, but Vince get's what he wants. Hope this will lead to some air time tho, I will gladly give up 10+minutes of recraps for a Jtg match, hell any wrestling match almost except that midget. What if they made this a weekly thing? Like Jtg gets punished and squashed every week.. wait.. nevermind.

Sorry, but I have a big problem with this.

Is this how things should work in the real world? When we have issues with our bosses, are we supposed to air the dirty laundry out in front of co-workers and expect better treatment?

This idea of applauding guys for bitching about stuff on social media is ridiculous. JTG should be happy he got another paycheck for his job last night, in 99% of companies you would simply be fired.

The correct way is to bring these matters up to management, present them with legitimate ideas/angles, and see what happens. If it doesn't, try to do something on your own like Ryder and others have done. You DO NOT go bitch about your employers to the public and expect to be rewarded for it.

Hopefully, JTG is fired next week and this is a lesson for every single WWE employee to take to heart. Keep your fucking mouth shut and do what you are paid to do.

JTG shouldnt of been jobbed out to Ryback just cos he spoke the truth on twitter about whats really happening backstage with bullshit politics and talent like him and other guys who are not getting used

At least the guy got a match of RAW since god knows when, Who ever is in a match with Ryback is getting buried simple as really, I didn't watch RAW so i dont know if he went stiff on him but i've i liked JTG in his Crime Time days, He's a decent wrestler and would be better suited in another company i think he'd do well too.

Edit: Did Micheal Cole really say this "I can't wait until JTG tweets about this." if so then yeah they did set out to bury him, Like i said i didn't watch Raw
