People revealing New Jack is a lovely person like is like when your non-wrestling fans friends reveal "dude... wrestling is fake? Did you know?" Like yeah we know he's a homophobic psychopath, noone here is legit sad that he's dead, he's just a meme.

Speak for yourself, I'm pretty bummed that one of the most interesting people in wrestling who gave me tons of memories and hours of entertainment is gone

I'm just surprised that a heart attack was what got him. I was expecting New Jack to finally die by getting into a real life fight with someone, or to have a spot go wrong.

I wish we could have seen what movie he would have been Denzel's friend in.

The Bone Collector and The Hurricane came out in 1999 around when Beyond The Mat was...oh what could have been

Imagine the climax of The Bone Collector, when the killer shows up to kill Denzel's bedridden character ... and then "Natural Born Killaz" starts playing.

Unfortunately for the wrestling industry, New Jack was an absolute piece of poo poo that tried to legitimately hurt his opponents, using the cowardly excuse of a 'hard upbringing'to justify his abhorrent behavior. He brought nothing positive to the industry, and in fact nearly got everyone shut down with his ignorance and inability to act like an adult in the workplace. What New Jack did was not wrestling, it was garbage.

He did some bad things, yes. He also did some very good things, like piss off a whole lot of tobacca-chewin' rednecks and took their money.

He deliberately self-sabotaged at a WWE tryout by saying hi to Vince when he was told not to, and I recall he couldn't attend the first One Night Stand due to outstanding warrants. He did wrestle some ECW guys in TNA, though.

the only thing to really take from what heyman says in the video is that while jack is apparently dead, he would fake his death in order to sell t-shirts. don't need to hear the rest

SNATTER'S ALIVE?!?!
Many years ago, the ECW timekeeper used to sit in front of a buddy and I at Phantoms games.

According to him, one of the funniest things he ever saw in his life was the night that Paul Heyman rented out some rinky-dink ice rink for the wrestlers and crew, and New Jack tried ice skating for the first time.

(The most unlikely part of this entire story was that there was a point at which Paul had a petty cash fund.)

RIP to somebody who, to paraphrase a description I once read of Abdullah, "he wasn't the strongest, or the biggest, or the classiest. He sure as hell wasn't the most technically gifted. But he was a big, angry man who was going to stab you with something pointy and there wasn't a goddamned thing you could do to stop him, and it was gonna be entertaining to watch."

Do not taunt the Octopus
One time at an ECW show, New Jack got thrown over a guard rail and kicked my friends little brother right in the dick and balls. He cried but later said it was awesome.
