Shad Gaspard had been a part of WWE from 2002 to 2007. In his initial years, he became popular after he joined hands with JTG as one of the members of Cryme Tyme. The duo returned to the promotion for two years in 2008 and had a fairly good run. During his release, the WWE Universe had no idea that they were seeing Shad Gaspard for the last time in the WWE ring.
In May 2020, Shad left for his heavenly abode while saving his drowning son near Los Angeles. For his heroic deed, WWE awarded him the Warrior Award for 2020. He was also inducted into the WWE Hall Of Fame in the Class of 2022.
Who might play Kratos in the upcoming edition of God Of War?
There has been much speculation regarding who will play Kratos in the upcoming God Of War edition. Being the protagonist, many WWE Superstars have been claimed to be eligible to fit into the role. Dwayne Johnson is one name that is on the list for his huge yet impressive physique.
On the other hand, Dave Bautista, aka Batista, attained much popularity in Hollywood after his role as Drax. His experience gives him an upper hand in being an eligible star to play Kratos in God Of War. Another WWE legend who has been a fan favorite to play the protagonist is Triple H. Being the lead star of the DX, he established himself as a very strong personality inside the WWE ring.

His aggressive persona fits perfectly with the aggression of Kratos, making him a perfect pick to play Kratos. Apart from these, the Hollywood industry is filled with stars who can play the lead. Jason Momoa, Christopher Judge and Gerard Butler are the most stars who can do justice to the role.
