I read this article and it sounds like New Jack is a bit of an rear end in a top hat. Demanding the interviewer to wear a bib? Also the bit of him telling at the security guard for selling himself out to the white man when he works at the same place is amusing.

"I have proved myself incapable of eating jalapeño poppers without getting sauce in my lap. New Jack finds this hilarious." Seems like it was a justified request

non-New Jack related highlights of that episode: Tiny the Terrible thanking Jerry Springer for getting him so much pussy Maurice Williams praising New Jack for his cooking and then simply saying 'spaghetti' when asked what he cooked.

"Paul worked the whole goddamn court room" or however New Jack said it was hysterical and I can very easily picture Heyman getting into some kind of character before being called to be a witness for one of his employees

My favorite thing New Jack ever did was bust into a room where Cornette was doing a shoot video while singing Why Can't We Be Friends, there's a split-second frame where Jim 's brain is definitely thinking "here comes my stabbing"

New Jack did not give Grimes the opportunity to think it over and just hucked his tasered rear end off the thing. Beer_Suitcase fucked around with this message at 22:33 on Apr 2, 2020 |

I really have no concept of Herb Abrams and the UWF. I've always heard the names bounced around but I didn't grow up with it and never did any research on it. Would I be better served to wait for this episode to come out, or should I prep with these videos folks have posted?

Meltzer put a blurb in Observer around Summer 1992 that Herb had "lost $750,000 since the UWF's inception", which means Herb still had $250,000 of SportsChannel's money left almost a year after their deal expired. loving legend, man. Quick story from Howard Brody's book: quote:Even his corporation, N.G.K., Inc., was a bit of a scam. His three dogs, Nikki, Gucci and Kokie (a little white dog named after one of his favorite habits) were listed as the company’s directors. When the owner of the Reseda Country Club tried to sue Herb for breach of contract, claiming N.G.K. did not deliver as promised, Herb’s lawyer argued that Herb Abrams was simply a character on the uwf television show and was not a registered officer of the corporation. The judge threw the case out of court claiming the plaintiff had not served the proper person.

Remember too that Tod Gordon had a real tough road getting ECW onto television because he had to convince TV executives "I'm not Herb Abrams". Abrams poisoned the well, and we were almost denied ECW because Cokey McCokeface couldn't stop skipping out on bills and burning bridges.

The Between The Sheets patreon special on it is really great (as if their special on the GWF. There were some weird & wonderful stuff going on in televised wrestling in the early 90s)

Oh my god. How have I never seen this before... http://herbabramsuwf.googlepages.com/testimonialmollyohanlon.htm quote:Molly O'Hanlon (Wrestling Zen - 2006) I looked it up and Wrestling Zen was an old geocities site that had an alphabetical directory of wrestlers/promoters, and each wrestler had his own page with a comment box/guestbook. I'm guessing Herb's ex left the comment above randomly on Herb's guestbook. loving bizarre.

I have the Nevada State Athletic Commission file for Blackjack Brawl, which, like any event file they have, has the event's "Club Report," a detailed breakdown of the tickets sold and circulated including price tiers. There were 640 tickets sold to the UWF Blackjack Brawl for a gate of $13,362.
