RIP New Jack (1963-2021)

[Flywin Lannister]

Damn.. Watched the Dark Side of Wrestling episode about and with him not too long ago.

Him purposely pissing off cacs with his Black Power promos, and saying it how it really was and is...



Dude was violence and ECW personified.

A real love him or hate him dude, it was NOT an act for him. Dude legit seemed like a violent psycho/sociopath: 0 empathy for anybody.

RIP

 

[Carl Tethers]

New Jackie with the tribute too

 

[Damnshow]

Damn, so many ECW wrestlers have died. All these bumps they take, drugs they take, it eventually catches up to their body. New Jack was original, one of the best promos and interviews.

When he made the OJ line in mid 90s at the arena full of midwest cacs

Rest in peace

New Jack was the ONE "wrestler" that I said I would never want to be in the ring with. You never knew how far he was gonna take it.

And until his death he worked this whole fukking forum and most wrestling fans.

RIP to the man that made me jump off the top of the playground contraption in middle school. RIP to the man that had me wearing New Jack 187 shirts for “no dress code day” at my catholic school. RIP to the man that made me love Ice Cube.

RIP to the man that worked everyone until his death.

Edit: and if you don’t fukking realize most of that shyt (especially Vic grimes) is a work, then thank new Jack

Damn I wasn't expecting to hear this. Dunno why I was excepting Jack to live on for a minute, that ending on the darkside of the ring should have made me realise that possibly his time was up(relapse)

His last tweet, very on brand

 

[LevelUp]

Rest in peace legend

 

[The Rainmaker]

His last match was one month ago Granted, he just arrived at the end of it, threw a couple weapon shots and cut a post-match promo, but still is a surprising fact.

 

[MenacingMonk]

His other theme goes hard too.

RIP to New Jack he's spoken numerous times in-depth about how broken down his body was but still a shock to see him go in his 50s

him and Austin were the epitome of gooning in wrestling to me as a youngin and much like the glass shatter once you heard them loud ass guitar riffs from Natural Born Killaz you knew some crazy shyt was about to go down

a true legend in his field and he will not be forgotten

He took rassling to new heights. RIP to a real underground legend who gained mainstream success. Only the Dudley Boys and RVD can compare.
