(Video) JTG recreates Cryme Tyme signature move with Shad Gaspard's son at WWE Hall of Fame
Ex-WWE star JTG recreated the signature Cryme Tyme handshake with Shad Gaspard's son at the Hall of Fame.
Gaspard and JTG were part of the Cryme Tyme tag team in WWE between 2006 and 2007, and 2008 and 2010. The duo continued to be a tag team even after their exit from the company, with their last match as a team taking place in February 2020. Gaspard sadly passed away in 2020 after saving his son from drowning when his son and a few of his friends were swimming in the ocean.
At this year's Hall of Fame, Gaspard was given the Warrior Award for his brave and fearless deed. Gaspard's wife and son were presented the award, and JTG walked with them to the stage. JTG and Gaspard's son performed the Cryme Tyme handshake, which got a huge ovation from the fans in attendance.
JTG coming out to the Cryme Tyme theme song with Shad Gaspard’s wife and son was great. ❤️
Also, seeing JTG do the Cryme Tyme handshake with Shad’s son was fantastic.

Gaspard's wife spoke passionately and proudly about her late husband in an emotional speech.
Who are the others that have been given the WWE Warrior Award?

I’m so moved watching his son and wife stand up there with such heart.
