New Jack - The Story of Wrestling's Most Violent Man
Dangerous, sadistic, maniacal, and unpredictable are all words that described "New Jack" Jerome Young, who passed away on May 14th, 2021, aged 58.
New Jack made a name for himself as one of the most unpredictable wrestlers in the business.
Controversial at times, he exuded danger and was one of the last wrestlers who could draw pure white heat from the fans, even until his final days.
Tragic Beginnings
From childhood, violence was a part of his everyday life. "We all just sat there and watched. It was worse than we’d ever seen before."
From the Mass Transit Incident to his ill-fated scaffold match with Vic Grimes to the disturbing attempt at taking the life of a 69-year-old in the ring, New Jack had intent to cause pain, and in some cases, even death.
