- JTG posted the following on Twitter during Raw tonight:

The camel's back just broke. I had enough of this.

As a pro athlete, I'm tired of my locker room brothers being taken advantage of Fans have no idea what we go through.

Yeah, I said it. Nobody wants to speak up, everybody's afraid of losing their job of getting taken off TV.

No word on exactly what prompted the rant yet.

My basic understanding of the situation is that JTG (and a lot of others) are getting tired of the lack of upward movement, despite doing everything asked of them.

Understandable. JTG's been in the company for almost six years now, yet can anyone name anything he's done of note since Cryme Tyme split? Same with the likes of Yoshi Tatsu, Drew McIntyre, Primo and even someone like Kofi Kingston. All long term talent who WWE seemingly have no long term plans for.

That's the end of JTG in WWE.

I don't think he cares at this point.

Although the irony of superstars repeatedly venting their frustrations on Twitter is not lost on me.

Good for him. It's about time someone grows a pair. Imagine how annoying it must be to never be on raw or Smackdown unless it's to be squashed.

It's quite funny because there isn't a single person named here that I'd have any long term plans for either.

lol

Even a guy like Kofi who's over with the fans, put in the time and effort in the mid card, hasn't been pushed to the moon in a long time, yet still WWE seem to have no interest in him as a main eventer?

Apparently it's about the WrestleMania pay not being as much as was expected. Either way I'm glad someone is speaking up for the mid card talent, good for JTG.

Especially Kofi. IMHO he's pushed too highly. He shouldn't be one of the tag team champions... again.

Nope. If he could cut an inspiring promo to sell a match, I might die of shock.

His thunder clap always gets the crowd fired up. I think he's a great wrestler who can get the crowd invested

His clap is a spot, not charisma.
