- As seen last night, WWE Superstar JTG spoke out about being unhappy with his role in the company and how he was tired of being taken advantage of.

F4Wonline.com reports that there have been some payoffs come out in the past few weeks, mainly the WrestleMania 28 payoff, and that is part of why JTG is upset. Word is that JTG isn't the only midcard talent upset about the WrestleMania payoffs. Apparently with WWE touting the success of the WrestleMania buyrate, the talents expected the payoffs to be more than what they actually were.

Word going around is that many talents are upset about it and lots of are talking privately about it but everyone is afraid to speak out because of fear for losing their jobs.

It's always possible that JTG may be released soon but the feeling backstage was that he was not trying to get released. Talents were keeping their distance from him before RAW went on the air last night but after the show, officials were coming up to him asking if he was okay and what the problem was.

I was expecting this to come out, not JTG in particular, but in general.

This year they didn't do a dark match battle royale so the low tier guys only got paid for Axxess over the DVDs and the like. I would say that guys like JTG, Yoshi, Zeke, and the like we're probably shocked not to get that big payoff, same for some divas who usually get thrown into the show in mass, but I got to say I get the WWE viewpoint as well of rewarding guys who are the main cogs all year over the weak parts and to create a level of competition between guys who want to be here

I said low lol fuck seltzer.

Thing s Dolph, Cody, Clay, Bryan, Miz, Ryder, Kofi, Swagger, Truth, nd the like all got on the ppv thus getting a check. I really can't think of any regular act sans Ryback who didn't make it on screen as they even fit the Bella's and Eve in

JTG did nothing at Wrestlemania. He should be mad at himself for being lackluster.

Silly jobber, you have to do some work to get on a WM card.

Still though, I once thought JTG was going to be a good midcarder for WWE. Boy was I wrong.

Everyone that should have been on the card ended up making it onto the WM card. The tag team title match deserved to be the dark match rather than yet another battle royal. These guys complaining about payoffs should try to get themselves over to get onto the card next year, Ryder managed to get himself onto this years card thanks to getting himself over and getting his own fans. Take that as inspiration and look at WM29.

JTG wasn't even on the damn card or dark match so why is he complaining about being paid so little for WM 28 he should be lucky that he was on the card at all.

Yeah, I agree with everyone else that JTG has no real right to complain. He's a future endeavor waiting to happen.

Side note: Anyone else think he'd be a much better partner for Darren Young. Titus makes JTG look like Flair in the ring, and JTG and Young teamed a bit last year on NXT before Young got a 30 day suspension and they randomly teamed him with Titus when they got back.

Titus and Young have gained some chemistry and are kind of taking off(hell they could be fine without AW if WWE bothers to book them anymore). If it was before they started teaming I think JTG would have been a better choice, it's just too late now.

If he thinks we is gonna remain in the roster he is more stupid than I thought he is.

Yes, he has talent but he is nothing special. Let's face it, black men in WWE don't get much space when they don't have that one touch. Unless he gets better or does something that catapults himself up he should shut up and do something, to make himself relevant in WWE. You don't get your WM spot? Keep your mouth shut and do everything to get that spot next year.

JTG has enough natural charisma imo to get over and stay over.

WWE just hasn't really known what to do with him. Should've just kept him as the stereotypical Cryme Tyme character. That team was over as soon as they debuted.

Let's face it, people like thugs. Especially young children and teenagers.

Anyone else find it funny that after he went on this rant, he's on Raw the next week? Sure it was jobbing to Pink Eyeback, but he got that camera time with AJ, Kaitlyn, and an entrance.

And Alex Riley got a showing last week, even picked up a win over Mr. Money in the Bank. Looks like JTG may have gotten him and some other low jobbers some time. Good for him.

Could be more of WWE trolling the IWC. Riley's Raw appearance came after the reports of Cena holding him back, and then JTG after all this.

Hey, either way, it got them on the show. They should be happy. Now if only Reks and Hawkins could get a damn spot on the card weekly...
