Vic: Jack, I can't feel my legs.
New Jack: You ain't gonna need 'em.
Bombs Away!!
Definitely a top quote.
😂😂
That episode is one of my favorite pieces of television to ever exist. Like, friends I have who aren't wrestling fans get hooked when I show them the New Jack episode. It's honestly a testament to New Jack because he really had everything; the ability to scare you, shock you, and make you laugh all at the same time.
😂😂😂😂
“I did not stab him 14 times, it was 9!”
"I counted em"
Honest as fuck
The best legal defense ever
Only man in history to make attempted murder funny.
New Jack was entertaining. Can't deny that.
"I got a college education and a criminal record, so I know how to make decisions"

One of the best lines ever
I was an ECW addicted lunatic as a teenager and got to see New Jack perform live in Tallahassee Florida and was lucky enough to be sitting right by the entrance where wrestlers walked out. Before the show I saw New Jack peeking through the black curtain hanging down in the entrance. I was with my family and showed them New Jack was right there maybe 10-12 feet away. I started yelling New Jack New Jack!!! could you sign this?? I held out a piece of paper of some kind and he motioned to pass it to the security guard. He handed it to New Jack through the curtain and he signed it and passed it back. I remember yelling thanks man and couldn't believe how cool that gesture was coming from such a hardcore performer. Not to get racially charged about it but as a white teenager I found it cool that New Jack didn't just say fuck you white boy or something to stay in character ha ha ha. I took that piece of paper and slid it into my "Best of New Jack" vhs tape where it has remained until this day. I truly love watching New Jack matches and enjoy the roller coaster of emotions his shoot interviews will take you on. From laughter to sadness to shock and cringing at the insanity or disturbing scenes of some of his acts in matches. New Jack made you feel the realness and absolute authenticity to his character. RIP New Jack and thanks for the memories!!
He was awful in the ring. ECW was crap.
@@frankcabanski9409 that’s just not true
@@frankcabanski9409 ECW was awesome
Awesome story
@@frankcabanski9409 must be mass transit to think that.
Cornette has had a rough few months for his ole Smokey Mountain crew. Tracy Smothers, Bob Armstrong and New Jack have all passed recently. RIP.
Shit, you're right. That has to suck.
@Chucky's Evil Twin no, he passed away a few months ago
you miss bruiser bedlam
Bruiser Bedlam, Brad Armstrong and Buddy Landel have died too, but not recently.
@Chucky's Evil Twin that was Brad
New Jack was one of the guys who would come out and talk to the crowd before the ECW shows in Queens.
Thats awesome
I met him in Georgia at a show and I couldn't believe how real and down to earth he was .
See my comment in main section. I shared a great story of New Jack and his kind and generous side
@@mcwhorter141mcwhorter8 I must have caught him at a rough time. he was a jerkoff to me lol acted like he was hulk hogan or something
I used to show up with my friends at noon for a 7pm show in Queens and he would hang out with us for HOURS. He was hilarious and so friendly. One time Paul E. sent Bubba Ray out to pull him away from the fans because they needed to go over things, and he didn't want to leave. Another time he went into the building and climbed to the roof and teased jumping off.
Cranking up the tune " Natural born killaz " by Ice Cube and Dr. DRE for New Jack. Rest in peace ✌
"Journey with me Into the mind of a maniac; Doomed to be a killer since i came out the nutsac"
RiP O.G.
"I wanna give an extra special shoutout to my homeboy OJ Simpson! Keep up the good work baby. 2 less we got to worry about!"
I remember that one 😂😂😂😂
Can't deny, that's a dynamite promo.

He was more odb

One of the greatest shooters. That reunion between Jim, Jack, and Mustafa was legendary.

Yes it was
I bet a shot a lot of people as well as stabbed them
@@Jason-ut3gj absolutely not; off comment
When it comes to Cornette saying, "an aura of menace and violence" there is no one who better embodies that than New Jack did.
Jim Cornette and New Jack are genuine friends so this loss felt really bad for him.
Boo hoo
@@PaulybiGGballZ0820 if only new Jack was still around to pummel and shiv you.
@@KOHoxton are you ok? so edgy
@@sumobo7108 mate, do you not know who new jack is? Because only someone that's ignorant to him would think that's edgy, that was the truth.
Still had to get that 'Paint Your Life' ad in there though.
I watched his dark side of the ring episode and texted him on Instagram about how good it was. He actually replied to me, which I didn't expect. Great guy RIP NEW JACK 🙏
I understand how Jim must feel, it's hard to lose a friend it's even harder to go on a national broadcast each and every time you lose one and discuss it with people when in most cases it's a personal thing you'd like to keep to yourself kudos for Jim being able to do this!🙌👍🍺
RIP New Jack ⭐
Sometimes sharing helps
@@johannesnuka3908 ain't it just. You can tell by their demeanour that, although Jim was sad at the beginning, they're enjoying the reminiscence

Tony Khan gonna do some lines in his honor ❄👀
I think Newjack already thought 58 was too old to die.
Scoutz It’s just what he would say don’t be a wannabe smartass
New Jack was doing so good on cameo staying busy getting money , really sucks he passed away. Rip Jack
anyone think that maybe having cash let him use more drugs, putting even more strain on his heart?

And even though this reply pretty much implies it, I'll go ahead and just spell it out, who are you to judge anyone let alone someone you dont really know, dont have a clue what all they been through, and whether or not you could even be them? He had a problem with drugs, but was still interesting and likable, which you are not.
@@Fausto_4841 Nah, New Jack admitted that he stopped using drugs due to his heart issues, which were caused/amplified by his drug use. The damage was done, even without drugs the man lived a hard a fast life. R.I.P. 187
I shit you not, right when Cornette said "why can't we be friends", "Thank you for being a friend" came on the radio.

One of the best heel lines ever
"That's 2 down". 🤣
That line was so harsh! 😂💀
@@SUNKAPRODUCTIONS it was priceless 😩😩😩
2 less to worry about lol
The fact that everyone came around to loving Jack before he died is great. He was always so good to me and anyone who treated him with respect. It alway bummed me out that he was more famous for his mistakes than his triumphs
His mistake were horrifyingly psychotic, to be fair.
Why? He was a nutter and should have been locked up
He was the worst type of human there was. He wasn't gangsta. He was a coward that abused people that gave him their body and he NEVER EVER tried that slickness with somebody that was legit and could fight him back. Everything he did was cheap, he never fought straight up. Always a sneak attack, always with a weapon. Definition of a coward and so are the people lionizing him like he was something he wasn't. He did nothing 4 wrestling. NOTHING. Duke ain't have no triumphs. This is the world we live in today, Where people get worship 4 doing all the worst wrong things. I can easily go savage myself and take advantage of weak and innocent people but I don't because I have this thing called integrity and a moral compass
He was a terrible person.
I don’t know, I’m glad he was always nice to you and many others, but having seen him tase a man and throw him from the rafters in an attempt to kill him, it’s hard to dissociate him from his actions.
As Jim says here, I wish he could’ve banked on his amazing promo ability, rather than his willingness to fuck people up.
🙏 RIP to the OG. There will never be another like him.
Let's hope not. He was fucking garbage in every possible way. Not someone you want to emulate or aspire to be like.

It was cool that New Jack hung out on the Cornette Facebook group and talked to the fans
He was constantly talking to fans. I never talked to him on Facebook but he and I talked very frequently on Instagram. I definitely wouldn’t say we were friends or even acquaintances or anything lmao, but we talked a bunch of times.
He was very friendly and engaging. He's sorely missed. 😥
Love the respect that Cornette gives New Jack. Obviously a complicated person, but damn he could cut a promo.
the afterlife better watch themselves, New Jack's comin' and HE.IS.PISSED
Corny as hell but I can still hear natural born killaz playing
💯😂
Mass Transit on high alert
Hell that Transit kid will need to watch his back.
"Go make white people mad!"
We'll miss you Jack.
Ironically, in real life, he had plenty of white friends and was always nice to his white fans. DATED a white woman in Terri Runnels. Also crapped on plenty of black wrestlers in interviews, too. So its always amusing when I hear people say he was just like his character in SMW. Like he was a wrestling version of Louis Farrakhan lol. No, he wasn't. And, despite being white, Ive never been offended at his anti-white promos. Its called being a heel lol. Same in reverse (a white's promo on a minority), like Cena did to Eddie.
@@erikstorm8935 That relationship with Terry Runnels relationship ended very poorly though
Lol he was awesome at pissing them off too. I loved his promos.
I know. To many people missed him when they had a gun. At least he laying in the dirt now where he belongs.
The OJ Simpson line was great
He let down his guard. RIP Jack. We'll miss you. In a world of copycats you were original.
Tell em
Word!!!
To a heart attack? He was probably just happy and content finally
Beautifully put
There was nothing like the ECW live experience back in the 90's and New Jack was one of the main ingredients of it. So many great childhood memories going to those events...R.I.P. New Jack. 😥
What's your all time favorite match you been too
Lucky you. I first started watch WWE & that was in 1999
First time I saw New Jack on ECW I didn't even know what ECW was. I happened to turn to a channel and he was cutting a promo in a basement. He was looking straight at the camera and talking about coming to get somebody but he never mentioned whom he was referring to. I was 10 years old. I honestly thought he was talking to me and that he was coming to get me. And then his promo ended, they showed some ad promotions, and then there was a match and I realized it was just TV. I'll never forget that.
Paul Heyman brings a tear to Jim's eye speaking of New Jack. Wowww
He was acting Im sure of it
@@adrianorange4270 Paul will speak shoot then turn it into a work. Look at what he said right after Roman delivered his Leukemia diagnosis and Paul was VERY emotional about it, as Paul has known Roman's family since late 80's/early 90's
Why can't we be friends that was so great when he made that entrance
I thought before that Corny was going get whacked by New Jack and Mustafa Saed even corny was worried before that song
Crazy to think that at the time of that filming, we would have Jack for ONLY nearly 10 more years.
@@shanestephens4728 Who else do you think has less than 10 years left in the life tank?
@@KaliBeatsYoSoyAquel
Vince, Flair, Hogan, Hall & Nash, Inoki, Funk... this isn’t really a fun game anymore :(
Ever since he did that I sing it when my mates accidentally shoot me or push me off a ledge online same as I still say "oofa" from that HHH sprit squad promo haha
I remember when he started off with the Gangstas in Smoky Mountain. The man knew how to generate nuclear heat! Paul Heyman's tribute was both touching and fitting as well. RIP Jerome Young, a.k.a. New Jack.
Oh for sure! And, as an aside, to me he'll always just be New Jack. First name New, last name Jack! Jerome Young is for his family and close personal friends. But, not nitpicking, I get why you said it :).
Cornette was smart enough to know Paul would get the most out of The Gangstas; they were too much for Smokey Mountain and Corny knew it
That Mustafa guy really helped the wackiness of New Jack though. Even though he didn't talk they really suited each other.
He was awesome, just standing there doing the chicken neck 😆
Mustafa is/was crazy as hell.
Still remember when The Gangstas debuted on SMW. I never saw a live show, but I watched almost every week on WCYB. His work was gold, his promos and brawling style, just the intensity in his eyes could draw more heat than anyone in WWE today. RIP to yet another legend.
They ECW debut was epic shit, really miss those days.... they debuted attacking the Public Enemy
I was on such a New Jack Binge on UA-cam a couple weeks ago too. Sad news. R.I.P New Jack
Same here
new jack was a legit psycho. if there is a hell. he is there. He was very entertaining at times, but his lack of empathy and cold bloodedness shouldnt be ignored. He tried to actually murder a handful of wrestlers in the ring and expressed no sympathy, empathy or regret in doing so. If JBL did the exact things New Jack did, it would be a national tragedy and he'd be banned from the business.
New Jack has finally went full circle. Good for him. Rip big homie
Why can't we be friends is touching & hilarious along with Paul looking like WTF

@@heelgill I just heard that part which made me like the artwork even more. I watched 2 of New Jack cameos - worth checking out
I've seen that interview. It literally comes off like 2 old crooks reminiscing on how much money they got off with.
It's great.
Jim told me... "Go make white people mad!!" And we're in Tennessee.. (Cornette breaks out laughing) I didn't know... Look, I'm from New York... I didn't realise how mad these white boys were about to get. (They both break out laughing)
Could you imagine ecw invasion of wwe in the 90’s with the gangstas?
Heck, I'd have been fine with a New Jack appearance at One Night Stand 2005, during the "WWE/ECW Brawl" at the end of the show. Especially if we got to hear Natural Born Killaz hit on WWE programming.

Great promos and that Natural Born Killers song you knew oh shit New Jack coming out
@@iLLBiLLsRoastBeats Is that a good thing, in a worked performance?
Before you answer, consider that two of the people he beat up were:
--a 17 year old obese kid who he unexpectedly attacked with a blade and the KID almost bled to death
--literally an unsuspecting, elderly man, half his size, with a barbed wire baseball bat to the head
Yeah, that was New Jack. Put me down as "not a fan" of a guy who uses weapons to shoot attack a kid and an elderly man.
And keep in mind this is not even the complete list of people whose lives he intentionally endangered in what was supposed to be a worked performance.
@@thomass789 17 year old was apparently being disrespectful to wrestlers in the back and also even asked Jack to cut him. Not saying it's good or the right thing but the kid isn't completely innocent
@@DJ_Mooster I agree with this
It always happens. When you finally find your peace, death is likely near. Too bad he couldn't enjoy it further. RIP Jack
You could see the genuine happiness in cornette and new Jack's face when new jack and Mustafa came out singing
At first Corny was a little uncomfortable tbh
Was waiting for this. RIP NEW JACK!!! Heyman tribute and New Jack coming in to sing to Cornette are awesome.

Rip new jack 💔🙏
We losing a lot of legendary wrestlers it's sad an unfortunate
In such a short amount of time too.
Indeed. Don Kernodle Died today too. Really sad how we are losing so many :(.
People have said New Jack was the black Stone Cold. That’s incorrect. New Jack was doing the Stone Cold gimmick way before Steve Austin.
RIP New Jack. Your shoot interviews always managed to put me in a good mood.
Honestly my most anticipated segment from Jim. RIP New Jack.
Mine too
Same, I think New Jack got a bad rap over accidents. Every interview you can see he was a good guy and gone too soon.
It was a toss up between this one and the zombies
They had more in common than they realised
❤
No matter what else, the fact is that he literally was THE last wrestler ever to truly keep Kayfabe and protect the business in his way all the way until the end of his life. For that he has my respect. I remember his Dark Side of The Ring interview where he said he imagined himself when old to be on a wheelchair snorting Cocaine. It is unfortunate that he didn't get to that. RIP New Jack. Your legacy will live on in both fame and infamy, and I am sure you wouldn't want it any other way.
Also, read this in YT comment and had to share it:
"My Personal Story about New Jack he was doing a indy show in my hometown and the promoter stiffed him of his pay so he started selling the promoters s*** in the parking lot me and my dad bought a speaker from New Jack and got an autograph he was a cool guy"
Really 😆 he was selling the Promoter personal stuff lol
It may be true, but why would anyone in their right mind think stiffing NJ was a good idea?
Lol @ “protect the business”. Dudes a scumbag.
The first shoot interview I saw was New Jack. Been hooked since. RIP Jerome, we can all take a deep breath now. Fly with the angels brother.
I'm not even super sad he's dead, i'm honestly just shocked, New Jack feels like the one wrestler who could live forever.
Yup, If they would have dropped the bomb, it would only be cockroaches and New Jack!
@@robertdwyer7996 and Keef Richards
Im not entirely shocked after watching his DJ Vlad interview. He was pretty subdued, not himself at all, probably due to strong medication. But, its still surprising. As its not like he had cancer.

"You first, bitch."

Interesting that the few times I interacted with New Jack I found him to be one of the nicest guys in the business.
It's sad that we never got the Jim & Jack cameos
“Like the Nation of Domination...they got new gangstas, just not scary ones” lmfao 😂😂💀
New Jack is a legend and one of my favorite wrestlers! He feels like a friend and he seems scary at the same time. RIP Jack

LMFAO right when cornette said new Jack could be an actor I instantly thought of beyond the matt segment when new Jack went to audition for a movie and new Jack said getting on the elevator "they said I could be the next Denzel"

I am waiting for Vic Grimes to do his eulogy
New Jack was the original hardcore wrestler he’s a legend RIP to New Jack one tough SOB
Facts...
Jack spoke on he and Cornette falling out behind his abrupt departure from SMW to go to ECW. The two always had mutual respect for each other regardless and I'm glad they were able to make amends and be on friendly terms again before he passed. RIP New Jack.
Austin & new jack taking on dx would've been a cool angle
He's the only wrestler I popped for in person & actually had a nightmare about .. I love this episode Jim ❤️
You popped for a garbage wrestler😂
A nightmare! That's awesome 😂 He was a scary fucker.
Lol
New Jack was a heat magnet when allowed to be who he was. So legit and real with a way to convey himself to the audience. Wish he was still around to teach young wrestlers to be yourself and speak and let the cards fall where they may. He was one of a kind in the early ecw era......no one knew wtf would happen when he showed up!
Gonna be honest despite him obviously being a tough SOB with a checkered past, New Jack always seemed like he had a big heart. RIP
Such a shame New Jack is gone from us but not forgotten. RIP
I remember while watching New Jack in person, he went from the balcony through a bunch of tables and landed right next to me and he was bleeding all over the floor. I got my ticket and smeared it with his blood. I will always treasure this.
That promo he did in SMW where he was bad mouthing the NAACP and was talking about watermelon, and Fried Chicken. That was one of the greatest promos ever.
lol he called them yard monkeys.
@@Ted_Bell 😂🤣🤣
😂🤣🤣
Jack doing that promo was the craziest promo. He literally caused a riot on several occasions in S.M.W. [ New Jack ]( RIP)🙏🙏
New Jack says in the interview with Vlad (it's here on You Tube) that the reason he quit doing coke was because he had heart problems and was on heart medication.
New jacks death hurts more than most because I had several conversations with him and he really loved the fans
When I actually think about it if Jack was in WWF/E during Attitude era he probably would have been mid card at best, but he possibly would have been one of the best talkers there at that time, kind of like a Road Dogg a mid card wrestler who was figured into the overall picture at the time mainly because he was a hell of a Promo. Could you imagine New Jack and Road Dogg going at each other on the mic untill a brawl breaks out. That would have been something too see!!!
Could you imagine Bad News Brown and New Jack as a tag team? They would have immediately been over and on top.
Oh! 🤣
Damn. That WOULD have been something else.
Jim saw exactly what New Jack needed. A guy to tell him "turn it to 11, get heat.". New Jack then decided to break the knob off going to 20.
Spot on description of New Jack (RIP)
I constantly find myself on UA-cam watching old New Jack promos and matches! That guy was gold! RIP LEGEND!
Jim’s love for heyman’s recent work has grown a lot of the years
New Jack was unique. I still watch videos on his matches and get chocked up
Yeah he was definitely unique the only wrestler to ever try and intentionally kill another wrestler. By the way you need to learn how to spell it’s choked up not “chocked”
Really bruh? A garbage wrestler trying to kill other wrestlers gets you in your feels? Might I suggest finding news clippings on the holocaust. It would be like watching the end of titanic for you.
me too.
@@bigdaddykush1830 Why are you even on a video for a tribute to a wrestler just to talk shit? Like come on.
@@gregsanders9386 naaahhh. It's not talking ahit. This guy was a criminal. He got clean away with felony assault based on "it's only rasslin " pizza cutters cheese graters are not wrestling holds. Throwing vic Grimes from the top of a scaffold is not a piledriver....this man was garbage and old Jimbo oldschool up there is burying vic grimes( another shit stain by the way) and John Moxley while crying in his cheerios over new jack. The hypocrisy is appaling.
I grew up on the 90's ECW staying up all night to wait to watch it! And definitely grew up on New Jack and the Gangstas! Love the ECW Day's. To bad he's gone and definitely a guy you can't forget! Rest in peice
Besides who/what he was personally, this is yet another man who gave his life to wrestling. In 2016, he collapsed to to multiple blood clots due to past injuries and now he's gone due to a heart attack at just 58.
It was a funny and cool, just seeing Jim laugh his ass off and hugging Jack was just cool. Jack loves Jim and Jim loves Jack.
Rest In Peace 🙏New Jack & my condolences to all who knew & loved him
Newjack understood what he was and thats more than you can say about most of them
New Jack's Recollections of the "Shout-out to O.J." Promo are Awesome
What we've all been waiting for!!! RIP New Jack, my favorite indie wrestler of all time.
Adam Cole? Ricochet?
@Shawn Stuckey Clark yes
@Shawn Stuckey Clark YES! Ricochet's an athlete, not a professional wrestler; otherwise, he'd be able to cut promos.
RIP Jack. Your picture hangs in our home....I'm glad my wife ordered it a few months ago. Nobody has entertained me in such an awesome way. One of a kind
Jim Cornette respected New Jack for how ballsy he was. And I'm not talking about falling through tables on concrete.
I'm talking about playing the black heel in (mid)southern wrestling. Now THAT's ballsy!
RIP Jack, I have and will forever have awesome memories of your matches.
I’ll miss New Jack because he was real. In 2021, we need more people in this world that are real people, and aren’t sycophantic kiss asses. RIP New Jack
Agreed man. The industries fear people like New Jack, people that tell it how it f'n is and don't take shit.
The Undertaker's deep bell.
Stone Cold's glass breaking.
New Jack's Natural Born Killaz theme song.
The wrestling shit that gets me hyped.
RIP Hardcore God!
No one's shoots were more honest and ruthless than New Jack's. RIP to a real one
His stuff in Smoky Mountain will always be my favorite . No there were no F bombs or balcony dives but a shit load of Raw talent. RIP New Jack, thank you so much for the memories.
“He asked me to get him color....SO I DID!!!”
Mass Transit: “Hey want to go over some spots?”
New Jack: “NO!”
the video of him going in on Benoit was epic!
Iron Shiek was in it too. Those two are the biggest roasters in pro wrestling.
I remember watching him being interviewed about the Benoit murder-suicide. He gave about the only response that wasn't trying to tip-toe around the situation; "Nancy was my friend, and he murdered Nancy. And he killed himself in a way that was a lot less painful than what he did to her and his kid. I hate him".
The only segment I'm looking forward to more than this is Jim tearing the everloving shit out of the zombie lumberjack match
RIP New Jack 1963-2021
RIP New Jack. I saw him a few times as a kid at the ECW shows here on Staten Island. I was was always entertained.
Thank you New Jack! The Original Gangsta!
New Jack was a guy that, even if you hated hardcore wrestling, a lot of fans still liked him, because he felt real. With a lot of guys, you could tell it was a gimmick, but with Jack, you felt he was truly a gangsta, and you didn't want to piss him off away from the ring. Even in a shoot interview, it was hard to tell if he was working or speaking the truth.
RIP Jack. Thanks for the memories.🙅
New Jack did the best promo of all time shooting HARD on Chris Benoit. RIP.
Wearing an OJ Simpson jersey whilst furiously denouncing a wife murderer. Epic.
