RIP Jack. . .
ECW Wrestling Legend New Jack Dead 58, as the iconic sports entertainer unfortunately sheds more light into the dark cloud. Just two weeks ago, we highlighted The Life and Crimes of New Jack for VICE TV. With the wrestling masses gaining knowledge on one of the most controversial entertainers in professional wrestling, he didn’t get his proper farewell from the business.
However, we feel these documentaries helped him somewhat enjoy retirement, reflecting on all the great moments he had in the sports. Today, news has emerged that Jerome Young, better known as New Jack, has passed away today in North Carolina. At the moment, Mr. Young’s cause of death has been cited as a heart attack. This is the latest major death in professional wrestling, as a large portion in the sport have never made it to 65.
Our condolences go out to the family, friends and fans of New Jack.
