From PWInsider and Twitter: WWE star JTG took to Twitter to vent frustration with WWE earlier today, writing, "The camels back just BROKE ! I had enought of this. As a pro athlete,Im tired of me and my lockerroom brothers being taken advantage of . Fans have no idea what we go through.#itsanillusion. Yeah I said it. Nobody wants to speak up, everybodys afraid of losing their job or getting taken off TV."
JTG posted the comments three hours ago, about the time Raw went on the air. He hasn't added any additional comments since, but one would can easily see that he's commenting on the treatment he's receiving from management.
The frustration he refers to is a common one with mid-carders in WWE, where talents have worked hard to get a spot on the main roster and then find themselves listless with no upward mobility, waiting around and putting other talents over despite doing everything that is asked of you and often creating a new look for yourself. The frustrations were one of the reasons WWE Diva Maxine quit earlier this summer.
It should be interesting to see what comes of the rant, if anything. I could understand why he's frustrated since he's barely used. I could see management being upset about this, but at the same time he's not somebody that is very good. He's pretty average.

Oh boy. I feel like the "How long has JTG been employed by the WWE?" website may have to close up soon. As much as it must suck to be the low-carders of the WWE, you don't take your grievances to the internet like that. It's just asking for trouble.

I don't think he'll be in WWE much longer. He's still young for a wrestler too, so he can certainly find work elsewhere when he's inevitably let go.

I say he should be glad he's employed and gets a pretty good amount of money, because somebody with his skills usually stays around in the indies, getting a day job just to pay the bills. JTG is making nearly 100k dollars a year, so I get that he's frustrated by not being used, but at the same time, don't try to bite the hand that feeds you. Especially if you're not that good.
