Former WWE Cryme Tyme wrestler Shad Gaspard stops attempted armed robbery by slamming raider’s HEAD into a door

FORMER WWE tag-team duo Cryme Tyme have stopped an armed robbery whilst being held at gunpoint.

The two wrestlers were known for their stereotypical portrayals of street-thugs and member Shad Gaspard stopped the attacker by slamming his head into a door, before choking him outside.

The incident occurred in a Florida gas station, and Gaspard and JTG - his Cryme Tyme partner, were on their way back from a wrestling show.

Gaspard went inside to get a drink, while the rest of his group stayed inside the car, before a man approached the six-foot six giant asking him forcefully to buy him beer.

After being told to change his tune, the perpetrator reportedly pulled out a gun, and failed to calm down.

Then the man told Gaspard that he better leave as he was about to rob the place, sending the former WWE star into a frenzy, trying to force the gun out of his hands.

As the attacker was trying to get away, the 280-pound wrestler charged and slammed his head into the exit door, pulled him outside into the street and placed the robber into a rear naked choke hold.

At this point JTG noticed what was happening and phoned the police alerting them to the scene of the crime.

It turned out that the weapon wasn't real, and it was only an air-soft gun.

Speaking afterwards, Shad Gaspard said: "I thought it was a real gun the entire time and honestly, I just didn’t want anyone to get hurt.

"I just kept thinking about how I wanted to make sure I got home to my son."

He also spoke of his initial reaction when the man pulled the weapon out, he said his first thought was: "F**k this, I’m not dying in Florida."

The man was later taken into custody at the Coral Springs Police Department on charges for attempted robbery.
