New Jack incidents real or a work?

There's some backstory to this that we should be aware of, though I'm not saying that New Jack was justified in what he did.

Most of us know that the kid (he was 17 at the time) basically came up to Paul Heyman when they were missing a person and lied about his experience as a prowrestler. Most of us don't know that the kid believed that he was entitled enough to wander through backstage and behave like he was one of the regulars. It came out in court that the kid used the n-word multiple times in his chat with New Jack (he admitted it under oath), and New Jack has mentioned that the kid felt like it was his place to tell New Jack how to perform. The jury during the criminal trial was made up of all Black people by the way, needless to say New Jack was found Not Guilty.

Apparently the kid asked New Jack "Can you give me some color?" as a means of asking New Jack to cut him during the match. When the kid initially took the shots to the head, he didn't realize how bad it was. You can see him lift his head and smile, only to show a genuine look of horror when he realized that actual flesh was hanging off his forehead.

New Jack lost his shit, Paul Heyman is a motherfucking MORON, and for the record that kid used all the money he got from a successful civil suit to pay for a gastric bypass. His death was due to complications from the surgery, I don't want to hear any bullshit about "depression".

Stabbing another human being is wrong. Alright? Let it be known that I do not think that New Jack was right to stab that stupid sack of shit.

Now then; calling William Jason Lane a "wrestler" is like calling JBL a "color commentator". That guy had no experience whatsoever with someone who had New Jack's level of fame, and he wanted to build a reputation for himself by manhandling New Jack. He knew exactly what New Jack was famous for doing, and he wanted to use that as a resume buffer.

I'm not a wrestler, but I have close friends who are. According to them; if you're going in there with a more experienced performer, you let them dictate the pace and content of the match. William ran in there and started delivering stiff shots, and then tried dumping New Jack over the top rope. No pre-game negotiations beforehand, he wanted to be the guy who made New Jack his bitch.

New Jack was likely (by his own account) on cocaine when the incident occurred. New Jack was charged with attempted murder, but William offered him a deal. William would drop the charges if New Jack would be willing to train him. New Jack very happily agreed, and promptly left Florida as quickly as he could when the charges were dropped and the two men haven't spoken since.

Oh for fuck's sake.

Gyspy Joe is semi-decent wrestler who thinks that he's the toughest man alive and will go to great lengths to prove that, and in every instance he only proves how stupid and pathetic he is. Don't think I'm being fair in my assessment of his worth as a human? He wrestled for a long long time, and he's only noteworthy for this one incident.

It's my understanding that Gypsy Joe told New Jack that he would break him and that he called him "boy" on more than one occasion. I love free speech and all, but old White men should actively try NOT to call younger Black men "boy".

This is the explanation where I don't think that New Jack went too far. Gypsy Joe wanted to prove how tough he was, so for every outrageous thing we see New Jack doing, keep in mind that Gypsy Joe kept responding with "Is that all you got?" Hey Gypsy Joe, most people know that prowrestling is scripted, you just look like a decrepit old fuck who was too slow to get out of the way.

Yeah, that's total bullshit and you should have known better.

New Jack and Vic Grimes did NOT hate each other. It was great for selling tickets, so they played up the idea that New Jack was bitter about nearly being killed in a previous match with Vic. Vic has admitted on many occasions that the botch happened because he stepped off wrong. It makes sense for hardcore fans to dream up a fake reality where New Jack deliberately threw Vic so hard he missed the tables, but the boring but true story is Vic screwed up.

New Jack has in character interviews, and he has out of character interviews.

I don't think that New Jack ever intended to "kill" anyone, just hurt severely. I'm not trying to sugar-coat his actions, I'm just saying that I don't think that he's the menace to society that's he's being made out to be. Don't fuck with him in the ring, and he's the coolest person you'll ever meet.

I've already explained how New Jack as evaded criminal prosecution.

Believe it or not, New Jack is great friends with a lot of prowrestling's biggest names. He and Jim Cornette have a bromance like no other, he and Kevin Nash spend hours chatting when they pass each other. On top of that, he really is a great guy. I ask that you do a little more research, he has a documentary that shows a lot of different sides of his personality.

You're being a mark, but perspectives like yours are what make New Jack money these days.
