This is a man who has spent decades leaving pools of blood — his own and that of others — in his wake, a year-old man who was surrounded by piles of broken chairs and shattered glass when he wrestled his retirement match just two years ago.
But the popper sauce is simply too much to bear. Less than 15 years after it shuttered, ECW already feels like it belongs to a long-lost era. And New Jack, who still looks very much the same as he did in ECW — compact and grizzled, with his head always held high — is a living reminder of a wilder time.
Seeing him in public is like seeing a tiger strolling down the sidewalk. His forehead is an absolute disaster, a gnarled mass of scar tissue resulting from all the times he intentionally cut himself to bleed in the ring.

I was on the phone, doing my legwork … I worked on my own time. I had my own schedule. New Jack claims he was never a wrestling fan before he broke into the business.
It may not have been his love or his passion, but he was obviously a fan. And we both were pretty much marking out when we met Dusty. The New Jack of Smoky Mountain also learned that he had the outsize personality necessary for wrestling. After running roughshod over Smoky Mountain for a few years, New Jack and his partner Mustafa Saed jumped to the anarchic Philadelphia-based ECW in , making an immediate impact by jumping and bloodying fan-favorite tag team the Public Enemy after a match.
Back then, the company had a security guard — a 6-foot-8, pound black man who was affectionately known as Big MF. Nobody had ever bothered this behemoth until New Jack noticed him. New Jack was swinging billy clubs and steel chairs on his first night in the company, and it soon became his specialty.
It was different — and I enjoyed it. Instead, it would blare on a loop throughout the matches, lending a frantic and hallucinatory air to the bloodletting. And then there were the balcony dives.
