Made for Viceland, airing on TV March 31st in the US.
Season 2. Episode 3.
The story: A wrestler known for pushing the boundaries as far as he could, Jerome Young AKA New Jack was a provocative, controversial, hardcore wrestler whose tendencies leaned heavily towards real-world tensions of the 90s and the criminal...
Jerome had a traumatic childhood, which he holds most responsible for his quick to jump the crazy train antics.
Early on New Jack was trained by professional wrestler Ray Candy, who urged him to create a character, unlike any other.
What New Jack created was a badass that was to be taken anything but lightly.
He got his start through the professional Smoky Mountain Wrestling promotion in 1994.
New Jack quickly became the most brutal wrestler they had.
When the promotion wanted to market New Jack for the Atlanta wrestling show, they tag-teamed him along with equally crazy professional wrestler Mustafa Saed.
The two became the Gangstas...who were ruthless.
By 1995, New Jack got a much better offer to work for the ECW.
Known for their ultra-violent, anything-goes style he initially knew nothing about, New Jack fit right in.
He quickly became known as the wrestler who, if you pissed him off, would hurt you, even if it involved a weapon.
By 1996, none of his fly off the handle approach had weaned.
During a match that changed at the last minute, New Jack performed such a brutal act that landed him in real-life criminal court.
