Jayson Paul was born December 10, 1984, in Harlem, New York City, New York. He is an American professional wrestler better known by the ring name JTG (Just That Gangsta)
He is currently signed to World Wrestling Entertainment where he and his partner Shad Gaspard wrestle on the Raw brand as the tag team, Cryme Tyme.
Jayson began his career in 2006 working in the WWE developmental territory Ohio Valley Wrestling (OVW) under the ring name The Neighborhoodie. 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 for awhile.
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. 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. 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).
As part of their gimmick, Cryme Tyme regularly stole items belonging to other wrestlers and on-air personalities, and sold them to fans. 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. At the Royal Rumble, they sold false entry numbers. They then competed mainly on Heat for the next few months, although they made a backstage appearance at WrestleMania 23. They also took part in the tag team battle royal on April 2. After Mr. McMahon's "death", Cryme Tyme plugged some merchandise and auctions on WWE.com in memory of him. On June 29, 2007, on an episode of SmackDown, Deuce 'n Domino (with Cherry) defeated Cryme Tyme in an inter-brand match tag team match. While Deuce, Domino & Cherry celebrated their victory, Cryme Tyme appeared on the titantron and stole their car, taking it to Brisco Brothers Auto Shop to sell it for parts chanting their signature catchphrase, "Money, money, yeah, yeah." On July 21, 2007, Cryme Tyme defeated the James Boys to win the OVW Southern Tag Team Championship for the second time. 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. On the August 20, 2007 edition of RAW, Cryme Tyme stole Murdoch's hat and sold to a fan, and the following week, stole Cade's and gave it away to a fan. In the middle of this feud, on September 2, 2007, both Paul and Gaspard were released from World Wrestling Entertainment.
Paul, along with Gaspard, wrestled at the Jersey All Pro Wrestling 10th Anniversary Show on October 27, 2007. Wrestling as Crime Time, they defeated the "Dirty Rotten Scoundrelz". Paul appeared in Derby City Wrestling (DCW) at their end of year show. He was then involved in a feud with "The Mobile Homers" in DCW.
Paul and Gaspard returned to WWE on the March 31, 2008 edition of RAW, as Cryme Tyme where they defeated Lance Cade and Trevor Murdoch in their first televised WWE match in nearly six months.
Cryme Tyme began working with John Cena on the June 30 edition of Raw when they helped him interfere during JBL's match. The following week, they again appeared together in a backstage segment when they vandalised JBL's limo. After a house show match Cena confirmed that they had in fact created a faction and that its name would be CTC, "Cryme Tyme Cenation".
