  • Wrestling Bios Presents - Brain Damage: The Story of New Jack vs Vic Grimes
    There is no one in professional wrestling as notorious as New Jack. The stories we read about Jerome Young seem unbeliavable at first, but you best believe that New Jack really did live the gimmick. In SMW and ECW, New Jack made headlines along with his "Gangstas" tag partner Mustafa, brining a new meaning to extreme wrestling.
    At ECW Living Dangerously 2000, New Jack worked a match against Da Baldies. During this match, the infamous "Danbury Fall" occured when Vic Grimes fell on top of New Jack when a planned table bump from a scaffold went wrong. The botch left New Jack with some serious health issues, and New Jack heard that Grimes was boasting about putting New Jack out of commission. New Jack returned to ECW a few months later but, in his words, he was never the same.
    Fast forward 2 years later and New Jack vs Vic Grimes is booked in XPW, in an event aptly named "FreeFall". During this match, New Jack got his revenge when Vic Grimes was thrown from a 40 foot scaffold, right into the ring.
    This mini documentary from Wrestling Bios takes a look at the New Jack vs Vic Grimes matches and the shoot interviews New Jack gave after the incident. Topics covered include:
    00:44 New Jack and his reputation as a feared hardcore wrestler
    03:14 New Jack's early career before ECW
    04:42 Vic Grimes journey in Professional Wrestling, including his WWE tryouts
    05:58 The Danbury Fall at ECW Living Dangerously 2000
    10:25 XPW Freefall 2002 and the New Jack vs Vic Grimes Scaffold Match
    Much More!

    Was a massive ECW fan back in the day. Got to see numerous shows between 1998-2000. Watching New Jack in person was surreal: danger was everywhere as you didn't know where Jack would end up. With that said, the fans LOVED New Jack. Every time Natural Born Killaz started to play we went nuts. I think that the fans embraced New Jack for the danger he presented. He was so out of control you never really knew what would happen. ECW fans like me really loved that aspect.
    FWIW; Jack knew EXACTLY what he was doing to Grimes. That was his receipt for Danbury.

    When it comes to New Jack, it's a two-way street. I hate the fact that he did all these disturbing acts, but at the end of it all, I am left intrigued and wanting to find out more. I'll say this much, New Jack is really, really good talker and his promos speak for themselves, especially the ones in Smoky Mountain Wrestling. However, he isn't the best wrestler. New Jack, when motivated, can wrestle (E.G. The Gangstas VS. Rock 'n' Roll Express and his time in TNA), but most of the time, he just brawls, uses weapons, and doesn't care about the safety of his opponent (E.G. Almost New Jack match after 2000, especially his indy matches).

      New Jack, aka Jerome Young, had 4 justifiable homicides under his belt before he ever entered a wrestling ring. Let that sink in for a minute... dude killed 4 people when he worked as a bounty hunter. Justified or not, New Jack was a violent person before and after his head injury.

      @@patrickmcdaniel2048 justifiable, not murder. Bounty hunters ain't like Star wars, they track and take in people that are on bail or bond, and unless he's talked about it my guess is the 4 were dangerous people and he acted with equal force. If it's a situation where one person walks away alive, life or death, I think any normal person would be violent hence I don't think it's necessarily fair to use that against him. Does it show a history of aggression, sure. But if he's never told the stories of what happened we can only speculate and it isn't fair to use that example without all the facts

    I love New Jack, but I do question whether even he knows where the reality starts and the kayfabe ends. He talked about the ECW incident in "legends of extreme" and in that mentioned it was more the way Grimes raised his hand as he was being carried out after the match that pissed him off. That and I don't think Grimes ever called him while he was home recuperating. I believe this much more than him bragging about taking him out in the locker room. He also mentions trying to hit the ring post with him during the xpw match. I call work on that, too. ECW was king of the work shoots around this time.
    New Jack is actually a great freakin promo sometimes. See if you can track down the promo he did at some dinner event or something weird like that before ECW's first PPV barely legal.
    When you get to the gangstaz video, don't forget to mention the smoky mountain wrestling promo where he said "OJ! Good job. Two less for the rest of us to have to worry about." in a room full of racist assholes. Phew. Now that's heat.

The actions speak for themselves. He was clearly trying to kill Vic. He's committed like 3 other acts of attempted murder "in the ring".
