The Life and Crimes of New Jack

New Jack was a hard core extreme wrestler. He was not known by mainstream viewers and came nowhere near organisations such as WWE/WCW.

His behaviour raised one interesting question about the wrestling industry.

If an employee operating heavy machinery is on booze or drugs and caused an injury. He could get sacked, face criminal or civil sanctions along with his employer.

New Jack openly admitted he went to wrestling matches both high on drugs and boozed up.

He had anger management issues and would lose his temper. Causing serious injuries to his opponent, often with the use of blades.

You do feel that New Jack is someone who should had gone to jail for what he did. As Jim Cornette states, some of the stuff that went on was without the consent of his opponent.

New Jack tried to put it down to his abusive childhood but it just looked like making excuses. He was boastful about his bad behaviour.

Ironically, despite his controversial ring career. New Jack died in May 2021 of a heart attack in his sleep.
