#1 JTG reveals advice from Chris Benoit before his WWE debut

JTG's WWE debut came as a member of Cryme Tyme in 2006 on an episode of Monday Night RAW from the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California.

During the interview, JTG was asked if he had ever had a match against Chris Benoit. The former WWE Superstar said that he never had a match against Chris Benoit, but he did reveal some interesting advice that Benoit shared with him prior to his WWE debut match:

"Never wrestled Chris Benoit. But Chris Benoit was one of the, I'm going to say he was the first, but he was one of the first that i actually can remember, that came up to me and gave me some great advice. When we debuted at the Staples Center. Right before i was going up, i was stretching and he pulled me to the side and he's like 'this is your debut match right?' and he was like, 'Alright, when you go out there, you never pull back, you never hesitate' because sometimes talent, sometimes there's miscommunication. Let's say I'm going to throw a punch and he was supposed to duck but he's still there, you know, they hesitate and do something else. He's like 'if they don't duck, hit them,' you have to protect yourself and protect the business. He was always big on protecting the business."

Cryme Tyme made their Monday Night RAW debut in October 2006, defeating two members of the then-WWE World Tag Team Champions The Spirit Squad.
