Guest Dids Report post Posted April 10, 2004 I've got the clip- but I just read that it wasn't supposed to go that way- what's the story there? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LucharesuFan619 0 Report post Posted April 10, 2004 Oh, boy. Long story. Which incident are you referring to? LD or Free Fall. Living Dangerously 2000 (ECW PPV). Grimes and Jack were both supposed to go off the scaffold, but Grimes chickend out upon getting up top, and New Jack had to pull him off. Grimes fell on Jack's head and caused him to become blind for several weeks, and also broke several of his bones. When they came to XPW, Rob Black sat them down for a talk and made them promise they'd be peaceful, but that didn't work. The Free Fall match was a legit shoot, and Jack was legitimately going to hurt Grimes. I was told by another XPW wrestler who was at the show that Jack told him (this wrestler) to come into his locker room before the show. Jack then turned the lights off and asked the wrestler if he saw it. The wrestler asked what he was referring to. Jack flashed a flashlight, and revealed a legit taser. He said that he was gonna pay back Grimes for talking shit behind so many people's backs. Grimes is a very nice guy in real life, but his main problem is that he talks about a lot of guys behind their backs, and he did that in APW, WWF, ECW, and XPW. So, Jack said he didn't care how much troube he got into, and that he was gonna taser Grimes off of the scaffold. They got out there and Jack chickened out, telling this wrestler after the show that he just couldn't do it because he already had problems with the law and he knew that Grimes would try to put him up on charges for attempted murder. But he did use the taser. He just didn't use it to try to kill him. He was going to shoot him like seven times until he stumbled off the edge and fell off the scaffold, but decided that he couldn't risk getting in trouble, so he just stunned him three times, then grabbed him, whispered to him that he was going to throw him off, and Grimes took the bump. The taser spot was 100% legit and 100% unplanned, though. Since then, Grimes hasn't talked shit about anybody, and it seems that he's learned his lesson. Grimes would've died that night had they not moved the ring about three feet over before the show. If they hadn't done that, he would've missed the ring completely (as it was, he touched the ring ropes and only hit two of the tables) and died...no question about it. XPW would've been done right then and there if that had happened. I'm probably going to be talking to Grimes in the next few weeks about his entire career, and the LD and Free Fall incidents will most surely be included.

Masked Man of Mystery 0 Report post Posted April 11, 2004 New Jack is a scary, SCARY man. Wasn't someone on the board saying we should bring him into WWE a few weeks or so ago? I'd fear for Paul London's life. Nobody short of Osama Bin Laden deserves to be in a wrestling match with this nutcase. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LucharesuFan619 0 Report post Posted April 11, 2004 I fucking can't stand him as a wrestler, and I've said that many times before. But as a person, he's one of the nicest wrestlers there are. This one wrestler I referred to above, he was there for them when their father died, during marital problems, etc. He's a very good guy in real life, from what I hear. That doesn't make him a better wrestler, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
r4g 0 Report post Posted April 11, 2004 Sometimes I honestly think New Jack has a split personality. As long as no one pisses him off, you can have great conversation with him outside of the ring for HOURS and good subjects to talk with him about never cease. But in the ring and when he's pissed off.....one of the scariest sights to behold. I also don't like how he invites kids into the ring after he works a match. What self respecting parent would let their children get into a ring covered in light tubes and thumbtacks and with a bleeding black guy who god knows where his blood has been?

Guest Choken One Report post Posted April 11, 2004 I loved his small scene on Beyond the Mat...that was a true highlight... I was hoping he'd become a hollywood star ALA the rock did. Didn't happen. I guess the whole 4 Justifiable Homicides and Penchance to attempt murder didn't rub off the right way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Red Hot Thumbtack In The Eye 0 Report post Posted April 11, 2004 Taser story How in the fuck does the man still get jobs. Regardless of whether or not he's a great guy out of the ring or whatever. People are fools for taking this kind of chance on the man Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest netslob Report post Posted April 11, 2004 i gotta say, about New Jack, he is one of the few wrestlers who legitimately scares the shit outta me. watch any of his promos, and look in his eyes, the man is a fuckin' lunatic. that's probably why i'm a big fan.
