I think wwe admitting they cant show footage of new jack is a better tribute than them actually showing footage

[jrproductions]

The fact that Vince let this happen is very respectful.

[thebrotherhood]

“ We can’t show his footage, because he was a gangsta” tears in my eyes rn

[jakedodd]

People don’t understand that Heyman is playing a character, but he always has ECW in his heart. New Jack was the most gruesome entertainers of all time. An absolute legend of the game

[frankycaliberz]

I’m actually stunned WWE literally acknowledged his name not only on YouTube....but on An actual WWE broadcast...

“Vince McMahon is the biggest pimp on record, the ring is the tracks and we the ho’s”

“I wish you all a most EXTREME weekend. Gangsta style”.- Paul Heyman

I’m still crying😭😭❤️❤️

[ARHZONE]

Despite everything that Paul is doing as a advocate/manager nowadays, you can tell that he still truly feels for those he had in ECW and everytime he loses one, it always hits him very hard....RIP New Jack, the most hardcore Gangsta in pro wrestling

[geeslim]

Paraphrased quote from The Blue Meanie: "We had our first ECW show in Canada, and everyone was shocked when they saw New Jack walk into the locker room. Someone said, 'I'm surprised you could make it over here.' New Jack said, 'Man that water was COLD!!!' and everyone in the locker room popped!"

I love that he broke character for this, he loved ecw and all the originals where his family . Rip jack

[iildrummerboy]

i love how heyman STILL til this day talks about them playing the gangsta's music and them never having the rights to it 😂😂😂😂

[d.n.adatniccalexxx]

When he said “Jerome young was quite a individual” I shed tears...you can tell new jack meant a lot to Paul..he truly was quite a individual..the true pioneer of the “attitude era” he dripped it

[Wrestling]

Paul Heyman never forgets about his ECW family, one of the many reasons I respect him👍🏽💯

[seanbond]

“I did not stab him 14 times. I stabbed him 9....it was 9”

[spnge]

You can just feel how much Heyman still loves ECW, and all the wrestlers that passed through there, and how much passion he still has for it.

[dgenerate]

Fun Fact: Heyman, Cornette, JR, Jericho and Dreamer all admitted New Jack could wrestle, he just got more out of being violent

It was my birthday and before a ECW show I went to, New Jack comes out. I'm there early trying to get pics of wrestlers going in. I got Rino, Heyman and others too BTW lol. Anyways New Jack comes out and asked if any of us was over 21 because he wanted them to drive him to the nearest strip club to round up the 'boys' for the show start. So I shoot my hand up and he picks me. We walk to his car in the parking lot, a Mazda Miata, and as I open the drivers door to get in, he changes his mind. I figure he doesn't need my help anymore and start to walk away. He stops me and tells me to hop in the passengers side. He then proceeds to show me his new music he is gonna be using soon. It was made my Bootsy Collins of P Funk! So we are jamming his tunes and roll up to the club and go in together. I reveal how amazing this is because today is my birthday. He asks me to prove it, so I pull out my license and he puts his arm around me and says to the bartender that today is my birthday and proceeds to buy me a drink! We look for anyone there to go back for the show and head back to the venue. I ask if he minds if I get someone to take our picture because no one will EVER believe this happened to me. He puts his arm around me again and some fan snaps a pic. Then he asks me where my seats are and I tell him. He says "Naw, we are gonna fix that". And he upgrades my seat to 4th row! He was so nice to me and I will never forget that. People say he was racist but I am as white as they come and he showed me nothing but kindness when he didn't have to even include me, once he changed his mind about me driving him to the strip club. RIP New Jack and thank you. You may have done things that make people hate you but you showed me a side of yourself that not many ever got to know and made my 21st birthday a day to always remember.

“He was the most non PG performer in sports entertainment history, because New Jack was a gangsta”
