1. Is it true WWE wants to release you and keep JTG?
No. I don’t know who started this dumb shit, but it’s not true. I don’t read wrestling news websites or magazine (excluding WWE Magazine) for one simple reason. They are bullshit. Just like you all before I got into WWE I did read them, but ones I got in I learned that the people who write and control these publications aren’t reporters or journalist, they are ass holes who write 5% fact and 95% bull shit (I’m being generic). Their sources usually give them half info so they have to make up the rest and they always contradict what they print later. I remember reading an article from PWI saying WWE was going to release Batista and put Golddust with a new group HHH was going to start. Really PWI? …I have read articles about my friends and other that are just dumb. And we don’t respond to them because we know they are not true. So the next time you read “PWBull Shit”, or “Lords of I Don’t Know What’s Going On”, just know that what you read on their web pages is 5% fact and 95% bullshit.

These web sites are going to probably start writing a lot of bull shit about me because I’m saying this and it’s all true. So this is what I say to you as wrestling fans. Don’t buy into there bull; enjoy the entertainment of professional wrestling. Let it take you to a place where you just want to cheer, boo, and feel excitement. And if these web sites have a problem with what I am saying I challenge them to step up there game, do some real reporting/ journalism, take real fan poles (PWI) on best ”””” of 20?? (Don’t just make your friends #1), name your sources (If they are so credible), and stop printing crap. Now I know they wont but the ball is in there court.

2. Have you and JTG ever committed a real crime?
Yes, we both have, my crime were more severe, but we learned from them.

3. Do you get a lot of girl because you’re on TV?
I get a lot of girls because I have GAME and a cute butt.

4. Why haven’t you guys won the tag team titles yet?
We will when the titles when we are suppose to win them, and until that time we will keep on trying to win them.

5. Did you know you have a lot of miss spellings on your page and blog?
Yes I do, some I have corrected others I didn’t see. I’m not perfect and I’m not the best speller. But I’m still a nice guy.

6. Is it true you are married?
I was married, but now I’m divorced.

7. How do you feel about being drafted to smackdown?
To be honest I’m excited, and I’m not just saying that. I’ve been on Raw for 3yrs. I think me and J will lay the smackdown on a lot of people

8. Do you take wrestling serious or are you just another big guy who is just doing it to do it?
I’ve been wrestling for about 7-8yrs, if I was just doing it to do it I would have stopped along time ago. I love what I do, I enjoy it more than most things in my life, and for me it’s not about wins or losses. It’s abut putting on a performance that people not only enjoy, but remember.

9. Can you wrestle single?
I know I can and the people in the office know I can, but right now I’m focused on tag team wrestling not singles wrestling. But when it’s time for me to go single you better watch out, you better not cry, because Shad Gaspard is coming to kick some ass.

10. What do you think about Miz and Morison braking up?
Friends! How many of us have them? Friends! Ones we can depend on Friends! How many of us have them? Friends! Before we go any further, lets be Friends!!!!!!

11. Who the hell is Marc Middleton????
Apparently he is on of the Internet writers who makes up new about pro-wrestling bye posting his articles on dozens of wrestling web pages. Useing difrent monecers and AKA Names. He says he has a legitimate sours back stage that gives him info, but none of the guys I know would sell out for a tabloid writer. If your sours is real name him or stay a punk. If Mr. Marc Middleton would want a legitimate interview I would give him one, but that would mean he would have to write the truth and not make it up. So Marc Middleton this is I Shad Gaspard calling you out.

My mother gave it to me as a child. I started boxing when I was 5yr old, martial arts when I was 8yr old, and ammeter wrestling when I was 10yr old. During every fight my mother would yell out "be The Beast" to remind me to fight harder.

13. How did you get into pro wrestling?

Dr.Tom Prichard from the WWE contacted me and said they were interested in hiring me, but I needed to get my skills up. Some of the guys that body guarded with me used to be in WCW (Swole, Chase Tatum, & 4x4 with the No Limit Soldiers) introduced me to Sargent Dwayne Bruce. So I trained with sarge from WCW power plant for 6 month and then when for a tryout for the WWE in OVW. WWE thought I had potential so they sent me to OVW to train were I learned the bulk of my wrestling knowledge and training.

16. Did you wrestle at WWA4 in Atlanta?

No. I trained there with Sarge for 2 months. Sarge opened up his own school called "The Super Power Plant". WWA4 did not help me get to the WWE in any whey what so ever. Hard body Harrison was my promoter when I used to box, kick-box, and do NHB. The majority of shit they have on there web page about me is bull shit. And that tip sounds nothing like me. In that pic they have I was 20yr old, WWE wanted me before I even went there.

Sorry no, but WWE has lots of autograph photos of me and my partner

 

21. What kind of women do you date? Do you have a girl friend?

From the looks of the women in my life I would say I date crazy women. The crazier the better... I can't keep a girl friend. My life is crazy and I'm always doing shit. It's hard to keep up with me. It takes a special type of women to handle or keep up with me. Physically I like a girl with cute face, nice body, pretty smile, and sexy eyes. Mentally I like intelligent women, I don't really date ditsy girl, I've slept with some, but never dated:-). Spiritually I just live and let live.

 

 

22. How do you live in so many places at one?

Easy. I do what I want! that's how :)

 

 

23. Can you make me a work out plan?

Sorry no. 

24. When is the next time you'll be in my town?

Go to wwe.com and look at the schedule for live events.

27. I know you started your carrier on a reality show MTV Tough Enough, do you watch reality TV and what do you think of it?

I don't watch a lot of reality TV. If I'm home I'll watch what's is on like Flavor of Love, rock of love (I think the girl Inna is sexy as hell), Charm School, I Love New York (I'm glad my Boy Dave "Punk" Lost, he's happier with his girl now.)… I think reality TV shows are some peoples gate way into stratum, it is what it is.

 

 

28. Is wrestling real or fake?

Next time you see me I'll close line the shit out of you and you tell me. 

29. What do you really think about the WWE and the politics?

Winner train, bitches complain. Politics are for pussys, if you love your job, work hard, and appreciate the blessing that god has given you, and then you will be a success in the WWE. This is the greatest job on earth. And it has great rewards and great consequences, what you have to decide is, is it worth it. For me YES 

 

 

30. Do you think WWE is Raciest?

No. I think people look for racist situations and nit pick bye jumping on every situation as racist when it's just entertainment. I love Mel Brooks movies (Blazing Saddles, History of the World, Part I, ect ), but I don't think he is racist.

31. If it wasn't for wrestling would you still be a nobody?

I was never a nobody and before, after, or during wrestling I'll always be a some body. I will always be me, Shad "Beast" Gaspard. A rolling stone, bad to the bone, a man who won't fit in.

 

 

 

Last but not least, a special thank you goes out to all the people who screwed and cheated me throughout my life. You have made me stronger and better in what I am doing. You made me appreciate even more the people who demonstrated the true meaning of loyalty and trust. You taught me the value of friendship; that trust has to be earned, not given. You taught me not to trust someone just because they go to church, because all of you did!
