@@L_Train it's hard to say... He did have signs of some sort of early dementia but idk if it was Parkinson's specifically. I only went to kick it with him 3 maybe 4 times a month whenever he was feeling ok enough. Like most wrestlers he was pretty beat the fuck up physically. He also dealt with the effects of the brain damage from Vic Grimes fat ass falling on his head. His headaches were literally 247 but sometimes he'd tell me to get the fuck out of his house because his head literally felt like it was splitting down the middle. He also couldn't see anything out of his left eye I think it was(might be wrong on that). I really did feel bad for J... But if I showed any sort of sympathy or compassion towards him he would get pissed and threaten to kill me while we argued about it. I knew he wouldn't do anything to me but the shit would get heated sometimes because he is a stubborn prick. I love him though, good dude really. Rest in Peace Jerome

Guys like him and Cornette made the "shoot" interview business IMO. Their early shoot interviews were huge on youtube back in the day, honky tonk man also had some great ones early on. its the reason i started to listen to that type of content. These days i don't even follow current wrestling shows, but im still fascinated with the lore of the wrestling business, now that everything is out in the open we get to hear all of these old stories.

Man Sean, that opening with New Jack and the Stevie Wonder gimmick had me cracking up. You and Jerome seemed to have had quite a good connection. Always a joy to watch and of your stuff and New Jack's as well

One of the top 10 promos IMO in the history of the business. Man Jack had charisma and great promo ability. . His Smokey Mountain stuff was just brilliant

Holy shit... Jack saw compassion as a weakness. He was full of love and passion, but we all become programmed to be certain ways. That one thing, him learning to dismiss compassion to survive emotionally, then taking coke to deal, is what I think made him generous. The love and appreciation he's shown for Ricky, Robert and Tracy proves he had great heart. What a fuckin human, lol. RIP legend

A common trait with psychopath. Along with intelligence.

Though I don't agree with a lot of his actions, I can see why he turned out the way he did. He had been through a lot of trauma, physical and mental. Hopefully he can rest now.

I wish I had seen this interview before the Dark Side of the Ring episode. I never felt like we got to see the real Jerome Young in that episode, but this interview comes much closer. I have seen other good interviews with New Jack, but they feel much more "in character" than this interview. He basically admits at 27:23 that we will never know for sure whether we are seeing Jerome Young or New Jack.

I would've loved to meet New Jack. His interviews are always real. Sean has always had a great way to have a conversation. New Jacks impersonation of Stevie Wonder hilarious.

You can say a lot of things about New Jack but one thing you can never say was that he was fake. R.I.P

Thank you so much Sean

I feel bad about how much that cracked skull affected him. Like that pain, insomnia, blindness, brain damage is all permanent ever since that fall. You can't tell those things just by looking at him even with the blindness. All you can see is the scars from where he got so much color over the years which isn't much in the grand scheme of things. All the really messed up health stuff was invisible. Even with the brain damage, cracking his skull is a lot worse than the wrestling CTE stuff you normally hear about but you can tell in the interviews he's still there and can think just fine, maybe with some pauses, but not like what you hear with Benoit and such. lots of wrestling documentaries still treat him like a heel cuz he was did some messed up stuff in the ring. But it was ECW, and he was doing what paid so it's more like paulie was the violence equivalent of vince's sex pest stuff imo. He had a ton of potential with how good his promos were, even when he's half-blind with those injuries, but ecw used him up and spat him out letting him be the fall guy in more ways that one.

I didn't know about New Jack until his Dark Side episode. It's so great that this exists. Thanks Sean.

Jerome is a real one for telling the truth about gangs, I feel the EXACT same way!!! Gang affiliation does have very homoerotic overtones!

Still can't believe he is really gone. One of the finest men who ever lived.

"They thought I might flip out and stab everybody" Seems like a sound business decision lol

Every time he tells the story about his mother getting stabbed and watching her dress turn turn from white to red, I get chills. That is the seminal reason as to why he was such a psychopath. That’s exactly why he stabbed people over and over again in his life. It’s so rare to get a glimpse into the mind of a maniac and get to see the exact point in time where the seed of pure evil was sown and then get to witness the chaos it would go onto cause.

Always seemed like an excuse he made up to make it alright to hate her in his mind.
