Shad Explains His Absence

Many would have noticed that Cryme Tyme member Shad Gaspard was not on this past Friday's edition of Smackdown. As it was said in the promo, Shad had fallen sick. Many have criticized the star of chickening out of the match as he was scheduled to be pinned by Hardy.

Here is Shad's Response

Ok before this thing gets out of hands let me set the record straight. This past Monday I got sick while traveling from Mexico to the US. On Tuesday my symptoms increased drastically to body pains, headaches, vomiting, diarrhea, and nausea. I tried several over the counter medicines that temporarily worked, but didn’t help in the long run.

Finally I went to or WWE doctor who prescribed to give me a shot of Phenergan, which should have worked. Unforchantly it made me drowsy and brought on cold chills. The office thought it best I leave than try to perform. I spent Tuesday night in my hotel room vomiting and dealing with bad diarrheaa all night (Trust me no one ells was near or around me). When I got back home I dealt with the same symptom all day as my girl helped me get better bye taking what our family physician prescribed, and getting rest…..

I’ve never let being sick ever keep me from performing, I’ve worked sick, hurt, and injured before on live events, TV tapings, and Pay Per Views, I just never let no one excluding my partner know how I felt or what I was going through. I apologies to my tag team partner, the participants in my match and the WWE universe, I should have found out all the information about what was given to me before I took it, and prevented my self from getting sick in the first place.

I take full responsibility for what happened and I’m sorry. In our industry there is a tradition that the show must go on no mater what, and I feel I have betrayed that tradition bye not performing last Tuesday. The greatest joy in my life is performing in the WWE (Win, Lose or Draw), I love what I do, and I will never let something like this happen agene.

Sincerely
Shad Gaspard

   someones afraid he would get banned from this game fro such horid language to the other races, Arn't isnt a word by the way and sometimes people make spelling and grammatical errors, besides anyone who actually wants to stay on a slow sinking ship is dumb.... i mean if your wife and son even leave you know your in trouble... thanks Vince Jr. for bringingus the best wrestling in the 90's. AND no i dont thnk TNA is next, there just an indy show with better TV contract and better sponsors.. thats all they are.

   I've taken Phenergan many a time, and I certainly couldn't imagine having to go out in front of a crowd and perform while taking it.

    To Ravan.... #4 is right. There's no reason to not know how to spell simple words right. People like you that defend Shad don't help the cause. This is what's wrong with black america. They're uneducated, lazy, and don't care. Then they expect to get things just because of the color of their skin. They want to be treated as equals but then when they don't get their they blame it on being black. I couldn't agree more with #4

    Back to the topic at hand. I want to thank Shad for missing the match so that more deserving wrestlers are now on Team Smackdown!
