Did he let you get him up or did you have to lift him into that position?

 

Hysterical, especially Cookie Monster. Welcome back KYJ!

 

Santito, Santaco ...

That part cracked me up.

 

Any one read the interview with New Jack posted on wrestlingobserver.com? Some highlights:

--New Jack talks about taping over an hour of footage for the recent CNN special. He said he was very anti WWE saying Vince was a rapist and a murder etc and has gotten away with it for years. New Jack claims Vince wouldn’t let CNN use him on the special. New Jack says all the interviews on it were hand picked by Vince.

--New Jack talks about the hand picked interviews on the CNN special saying Vince didn’t use steroids or isn’t all bad and that Chris Benoit wasn’t such a bad guy. New Jack says yes Benoit was a bad guy, “when you choke your kid and murder him and your wife you ain’t nothing good and nobody should ever say anything good about you again in life”. New Jack says no one should defend that mother f-er.

--New Jack says f*ck Paul Heyman, he‘s another crook, he is Vince’s lieutenant. He sold his company to Vince McMahon after filing bankruptcy, it was a scam. Vince bought ECW so he should have bought Paul’s debt too. New Jack never got the $3 million that Paul E owed him. He hopes Paul E gets hit by a fruit truck and killed. New Jack says all the guys who came to work for WWE after ECW folded had to agree not to sue Paul E as a stipulation before working there. New Jack says he is 44 years old and he won’t play the game, if you mess with his money he will kill you. Now Paul E makes $5000 a week to sit home and hasn‘t been on TV for a year, just so he can be Vince McMahon’s butt buddy. New Jack hopes Paul’s momma dies of a heart attack.

New Jack is supposed to be legitimately one of the most dangerous men in wrestling. If you ever take a look at the Mass Transit incident (It's on YouTube), you'll see one of the most scary sights ever in the ring. Hope you have a strong stomach.

 

Although New Jack is certifiably crazy, he was exonerated in the Mass Transit incident. Erich Kulas had absolutely no training, but lied and scammed his way into the match, not knowing what in the Hell he was doing.

 

Just watched the New Jack video.

Holy. Shit.

Now I'm watching Goldberg matches from 1998/1999, when he was undefeated.

 

New Jack has always disgusted me. He obviously has a few screws loose and can't wrestle worth a damn.

 

Coincidentally, I am in the middle of reading "The Death of WCW" I bought on eBay.

Jesus, what a fucked up world it was when Hogan, Nash, Russo and Bischoff were running things.

 

I've heard good things about the book, how is it?

 

It's not as good as I was led to believe. It's almost written from the perspective of a fan, and the locker room shit that happened isn't detailed like I thought it would be.

Most of the stuff in the book is stuff that you knew about if you tuned in back in the day. I wanted more behind the scenes-stuff.

It makes Bischoff out to be a genius-turned-idiot, and Hogan and Nash as cut-throat, self-centered assholes, which, I guess, is appropriate on so many levels.

 

The shocking thing about WCW is the fact that in 1998, they were making millions, had WWF close to going out of business, and a huge fanbase.

Two-plus years later, Vince buys them for something like $5 million.

And back to New Jack for a moment, another scary YouTube video is the one where he throws Vic Grimes off a 50-foot scaffold. Grimes was supposed to go through a bunch of tables to break his fall, but only grazed one of them. He ended up with a broken leg, but was lucky he wasn't killed.

In an interview later on, New Jack said he deliberately tried to hurt Grimes, retaliating for an incident in ECW in which New Jack got hurt falling off the crow's nest into a table.
