      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 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!!

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.

      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.

      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)

    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"

    The only segment I'm looking forward to more than this is Jim tearing the everloving shit out of the zombie lumberjack match

    We will forever miss New Jack. My heart breaks for his family, former wrestlers that loved him and all of these loyal hardcore fans. My heart breaks for you, because I feel it too.

    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.

    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.

    When I heard new Jack passed away I knew Corny was going to talk about him on either the experience or the drive-thru

    New Jack had more charisma in his little finger than the entire current WWE roster. The guy just knew how to entertain and get a reaction out of fans.
