New Jack's tactic of constantly claiming he was trying to kill someone when it was an accident is a really smart way to cover up all the times he really tried to kill someone.

Because apparently Gypsy Joe is one of those super tough old-school wrestlers that can only be put down for good by a silver bullet personally sanctified by the pope.

Holy gently caress. I've just done surface level research on New Jack (e.g. Mass Transit, American Gangsters, Chair Hit Results in Open Skull) and I just don't understand how he is not in jail.

Yeah, that was the one where New Jack basically said "I was trying to kill this guy and I messed up"

As a reminder, that clip of Grimes being thrown off the scaffold is the second time New Jack screwed with Vic Grimes.

They had a match at an ECW PPV where they had a planned spot where they'd go off a scaffold onto some tables. Grimes apparently had second thoughts in the match while they were on the scaffold and told Jack, no, I'm not doing the spot. Jack decided "yes you loving are" and legitimately pulled him off the scaffold with him. They missed the table and just landed on concrete.

from what I understand, essentially he's only like this if you actively piss him off. Mass Transit was a literal untrained rando who decided to talk a huge amount of poo poo to New Jack right before their match. the Danbury Fall was Vic Grimes' fault and nearly killed New Jack, so he got mad as gently caress and returned the favor. Gypsy Joe just straight up no-sold everything New Jack tried to do in order to "teach him a lesson in hardcore," and you saw the end result of that upthread.

meanwhile, if you just hit your poo poo when you're supposed to, sell for him when you're supposed to, and don't actively try to get him mad at you, he's a totally fine worker who comes cheap, gets big pops from anyone who knows him at all, and puts on reasonably good garbage matches.

I don't think Mass Transit or Vic Grimes are his fault, he just worked it afterwards. Mass Transit was an untrained kid who lied and had his dad lie to get him in the ring and it just went as bad as it possibly could. Vic looks like he jumped off when he took that fall and just hosed it up.

New Jack also absolutely tried to kill Gypsy Joe, both guys that he's stabbed in the ring, and pretty much anyone he's ever hit in the head with a chair.

Wow, Bix. First K.Rool, then Steve and now SEPHIROTH? Your dream game is real!
Something to keep in mind with Mass Transit/Erik Kulas is that New Jack didn't use a regular wrestling blade. He used, depending on the source, either a surgical scalpel or an X-Acto knife. He would have still hosed the kid up with a regular blade, but not nearly as badly.

(There were rumors at the time that the knife was something collected into New Jack's "fans bring the weapons" trash can at the door, with a story of a fan yelling "Hey! That's my knife!" being out there. But I don't think that's ever been close to confirmed.)

I see that. I think he's a flawed individual but I dunno I've seen hours of his shoots and went in thinking he was a psychopath and there's something else there some kind of Rorshach morality that I can't help but sympathize with even though it has obviously lead to harm. I think he's fascinating absolutely and I guess most importantly in regards to this thread this series has been among the best ever produced in wrestling and I think they'll nail the angle from all sides.

I'm not interested in constructive criticism, believe me.
they say he stabbed him 14 times, but new jack says he only stabbed him 9 times. if you look at it that way, new jack is only 64% as bad as people say he is.

i realize turning situations into fights is basically how you get cool points on SA and make people like you, but what i said isn't exactly a defense. a guy having a short enough fuse that he'll stab the gently caress out of you for talking poo poo, in a business that is 50% talking poo poo by volume, is not exactly great.

it's just also sort of obvious why people would hire him when you look at the entire picture beyond "he stabs people." because the incidents of him trying to kill people are, by all appearances, outliers, he works absurdly cheap compared to basically anyone remotely similar, and he's an ECW Original, meaning you're basically guaranteed to get your money's worth just from people going "oh holy gently caress I know that guy" if you're some dirt-indie deathmatch promoter. him having hosed up one extra dude (in a situation that, on further investigation, seems to be basically a repeat of Mass Transit: untrained idiot asks NJ to blade him, NJ blades him way too much) doesn't really change that calculus.

dude's a risk, but he's one you can mitigate by just not throwing him at anyone who'll piss him off or do something dumb.

I was at an ECW show where New Jack hung outside with the fans and went through the can and pulled out some absolutely insane things that even he was shocked and joked that "you people really want me to kill a motherfucker". There was a loving pitchfork in there.

he stabbed a dude in the neck and back 9 times. please do not reduce it down to "Blading Gone Wrong." even if Lane went to New Jack before the match and said "hey man, can you blade me up a little in here?" how the gently caress do you get from that to New Jack stabbing him repeatedly

the truly horrible, awful thing William Lane did to him was, to be green as hell and hit New Jack with some stiff punches btw.

and i'm sure there are a dozen or more brain damaged idiots running wrestling companies out there who would hire New Jack in a heartbeat and be glad to throw him out there to gently caress up whatever other poor idiot they put him in the ring with. pro wrestling sucks rear end, it turns out, because of facts like this. taking liberties with other wrestlers is some garbage rear end poo poo and New Jack not only does that, he does it with deadly weapons. poo poo's wild and not cool.
