Let's make this a New Jack appreciation thread of sorts.
New Jack is seriously the coolest dude. What he lacks in wrestling ability, he makes up for in entertainment, and mic skills. I loved this guy ever since I saw The Gangstas jump Public Enemy, go on to feud with them, and have that great feud with the Eliminators. And whilst the Gangstanators were thrown together as humanly possible, I loved them. Best member of the eliminators with the best member of the Gangstas.
Reading up on him, and watching his shoots just made me like him more. Great, funny, honest dude. Sure, he killed a few people, but haven't we all?
My favorite New Jack match is the 4 way dance for the tag belts from 1996. My favorite New Jack promo is from right before Wrestlepalooza 1998, where he utters the awesome line "Mike Tyson said, 'I didn't do it', well I did, and I did it lots of times"
Discuss, and appreciate the man born Jerome Young, but known on the streets as New Jack.

I liked when he jumped off things and justifiably attempted to murder people.

Not really a fan of his later work. Meaning anything he did after ECW. Well, his solo run in ECW wasn't that great either. His promos made no sense and he just cursed a lot.
Now his Smoky Mountain Wrestling stuff was great! Saying that he, Mustafa and D'Lo Brown were from Los Angeles and talking about racism and blacks being better than white and such. It was like WWE's NOD group in 1997, only with the volume turned way up!

I hate him, he tried to kill some other wrestler during the match, however I like his extreme style...a great hardcore wrestler

Designated run in guy, okay fine, in a feud with Da Baldies? ugh. SMW's definitely where he did his best stuff. Best wrestling of his and his best promos. |

I'll admit it, I always marked out whenever New Jack's music came on, he came out with a shopping cart full of weapons, and the completely gratuitous bloody weapon fest would go on for five to ten minutes while the music blared the entire time. If a rave and a riot had a bastard love child, it would be a New Jack match. I consider this one more proof that Heyman was a genius at getting the most out of the least because New Jack would have been an epic fail in any other promotion.
Edit: Some others made posts referencing his SMW work which I have not seen so I can't speak to it but perhaps he wouldn't be an epic fail, but I doubt he would be as over as he was in ECW.

New Jack was absolutely terrible in the ring and out. One of the worst human beings on the face of the earth. I will give him credit for somehow making people scared of him though. If only someone would have stepped up and pulled his punk card.

Clearly they asked him to beat them to a bloody pulp. |

Someone in the back called him a bitch and he didn't do ANYTHING about it. He got a hefty payday of $40 that night too. |

New Jack is a living, breathing piece of human waste.

He's fascinating to watch (I'm talking ECW only) and his promos are truly fearless...I understand why people have issues with what he's done...having Vic Grimes land on your head from a great height, causing you to go blind in one eye and being able to still have the aura that he had before it happened...amazing...
He does live by a code, so that's admirable, I guess.
I get it; the term 'wrestling' and 'New Jack' don't go together...Sandman included...but that's fine, I don't expect an angry militant African American man with justifiable homicides to be adept at chain wrestling...at the height of ECW, having New Jack jump off of balconies onto dudes like D-Von and Vito of Da Baldies was what guys my age liked in addition to the other awesome stuff ECW offered up...
Good one, @brickandyozen.

New Jack is everything that is wrong, bad, dirty, disgusting, grimy, filthy and sickening about professional wrestling.

The only things New Jack is good for are shoot interviews and tweets

Some of his promos & interviews would make me laugh my ass off. He'd say the typical "I'm going to hurt you" spiel, and then make fun of his opponent's ugly children.
And I find it amazing that he has the utmost respect and (according to a shoot interview) would take a bullet for Ricky Morton, Robert Gibson & Tracy Smothers.
