[edit] Career

Paul began his career in 2006 working in the World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) developmental territory Ohio Valley Wrestling (OVW) under the ring name The Neighborhoodie.[4] While there he was placed into a tag team with Shad Gaspard, and, calling themselves The Gang Stars, they held the OVW Southern Tag Team Championship on one occasion.[5]
[edit] Raw
In 2006, the team was promoted from OVW to the WWE Raw brand under the name Cryme Tyme, with Paul changing his name to JTG. On September 4, 2006, a series of vignettes start airing on RAW, hyping the debut of Cryme Tyme.[6] On the October 16, 2006 edition of Raw, Cryme Tyme debuted and defeated two members of the then World Tag Team Champions, the Spirit Squad (Mikey & Johnny), in a non-title match.[7] In November 2006, at Cyber Sunday, Cryme Tyme defeated Lance Cade and Trevor Murdoch, Charlie Haas and Viscera and The Highlanders in a Texas Tornado match (as voted by the fans).[8]
As part of their gimmick, Cryme Tyme regularly stole items belonging to other wrestlers and on-air personalities, and/or sold them to fans.[8][9] and sold false entry numbers at the Royal Rumble.[9] A few months later at the New Year's Revolution pay-per-view, Cryme Tyme won a Tag Team Turmoil Match against The Highlanders, The World's Greatest Tag Team, Cade and Murdoch, and "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan and Super Crazy, earning them a shot at the World Tag Team Championships.[10] At the Royal Rumble, they sold false entry numbers.[9] They then competed mainly on Heat fot the next few months,[9] although they made a backstage appearance at WrestleMania 23.[9] They also took part in the tag team battle royal on April 2.[9][11] After Mr. McMahon's "death", Cryme Tyme plugged some merchandise and auctions on WWE.com in memory of him.[9] On June 29, 2007, on an episode of SmackDown!, Deuce 'N Domino (with Cherry) defeated Cryme Tyme in an inter-brand match tag match.[12] While Deuce, Domino & Cherry celebrated their victory, Cryme Tyme appeared on the titantron and (kayfabe) stole their car, taking it to Brisco Brothers Auto Shop to sell it for parts chanting their signature catchphrase, "Money, money, yeah, yeah".[12] On July 21, 2007, Cryme Tyme defeated the James Boys to win the OVW Southern Tag Team Championship for the second time.[5][13] On August 13, 2007 Cryme Tyme returned to their hometown of New York City on an episode of RAW from Madison Square Garden, losing to then-World Tag Team Champions Lance Cade & Trevor Murdoch in a non-title match by disqualification when Shad used a chair on Murdoch.[14] On the August 20, 2007 edition of RAW, Cryme Tyme stole Trevor Murdoch's hat and sold to a fan,[15] and the following week, stole Lance Cade's and gave it away to a fan.[16] In the middle of this feud, on September 2, 2007, both JTG and Gaspard were released from World Wrestling Entertainment.[3]
