Good Lord ! A mark shows up at an ECW event, wants to be a part of the show and is asked to blade, but isn't comfortable about it and suggests that his opponent does it for him. That's crazy enough, but when you're dealing with a true loose cannon like New Jack, that's beyond crazy...that's totally insane. NJ was one of those guys that didn't always subscribe to the concept of "protecting your fellow worker" during a match. I never was comfortable with blading either, but I'd rather do it to myself than trust someone like New Jack to do it for me.

Yeah it’ll always be absurd that they went on with the show because if that happened today in any other sporting event there’s no chance they’d continue the event. Just look back at the Bills v Bengals game. After damar Hamlin came so close to death they cancelled the game and that game very easily may have played a significant role in the conference playoff picture and anybody who mentioned that concern got their ass torn up. If WWE did what they did with Owen in today’s world it would be a disaster for them and even so I don’t think they’d have continued the show if they had a redo. I think they honestly just didn’t know what to do and just made a choice and unfortunately it was the wrong one.

​@@bautistalover ECW was stupid and wildly unprofessional just taking some guy (some KID) from the crowd and not knowing who he was, checking his ID, making sure he was legit, and not ensuring the wrestlers arrived on time to begin with. However, there's absolutely NO excuse for New Jack's actions. He butchered that kid and knew what he was doing. He was always a violent, short fused, aggressive, arrogant, disgusting thug. How can you not feel sympathy for a KID getting his face slashed? Regardless of who was in the ring and where, nobody should have been subjected to that. New Jack should've been sued into the ground and locked up for that.

@@Loe_Jist I agree ECW should’ve done more then take another wrestler’s word that the kid was legit. Yes I can absolutely blame that idiot kid and his dumbass father for what happened to him. As you said at that time everyone knew that guy was dangerous and they still let that kid step in on one of new jacks matches. Play stupid games win stupid prizes. As far as new jack is concerned never liked the guy. Not saying what he did was right because it wasn’t however had it been a legit wrestler in the ring that psycho wouldn’t have been cutting the other guy. What happened was direct result of an untrained fan lying to fulfill a dream.

An entertaining art so filled with so much tragedy and deceit at times. Well done, but also so very well heartbreaking. A very good friend of mine was murdered in a dressing room shower in 1988. As painful as I find this, I am thankful that this is brought to light. I still love this business, but this shows a darkside story that just needed to be shared. Thank you.

No one really talks about it now, but Perro Jr. would have been a HUGE star in more than just Mexico had he lived. His charisma went beyond languages. He could cut a promo in his native Spanish, and no matter if you couldn't understand a word he was saying, you understood what he meant with his words, inflection, and body language. He was just too good. I would dare say I'd put his charisma level right up there with The Rock. His death is one of the biggest losses this industry has ever had for the business going forward, IMHO.

"I didn't kill my wife." "I don't care" - The Fugitive. Sam Sheppard Resumed surgical practice after his release from prison, but due to alcohol and his skills deteriorating, 2 patients died from nicked arteries in 1968 before he resigned and took up pro wrestling in 1969 and wrestled 40 matches before he died due to alcohol related brain damage. Sheppard was cleared by DNA evidence in 1997, 27 years, After his death in 1970.after he was exhumed for DNA testing involving another case, he was then buried next to his murdered wife. His son worked to restore his reputation. In 1999, Alan Davis, a lifelong friend of Sheppard and administrator of his estate, sued the State of Ohio in the Cuyahoga County Court of Common Pleas for Sheppard's wrongful imprisonment. On February 22, 2002, the Eighth District Court of Appeals ruled unanimously that the civil case should not have gone to the jury, on the grounds that the statute of limitations had expired, and that a claim for wrongful imprisonment died with Sam Sheppard. "I didn't kill my wife." - Dr. Sheppard "I don't care" - the legal system.

Well, at least you got 1/3 of the Mass Transit story. He lied about his training by Killer Kowalski. He was in the locker room telling New Jack what NJ was gunna do during the match, that’s why NJ was pissed off. He told Heyman he was comfortable bleeding, but had never juiced before and said NJ could do it for him. NJ sliced him, one side to the other, to the skull with a scalpel severing several arteries in his forehead. As MT was being wheeled to the back on a gurney, he was telling his dad, “it’s ok dad. I’m one of the boys now!” When MT went to court, he was in a wheelchair b/c he lost a leg. It was from his diabetes. He was trying to get sympathy. It didn’t work and he lost the case. He later lost his life.

It covers some very serious things and then there are these ‘silly’ voiceovers which just seems completely out of place and almost makes light of a horrible thing. I know that wasnt the intention but it could have been done without the use of silly voiceovers imo.

As I understand it, during the match he was thrown from the ring and hit the floor unusually hard. That caused serious damage to his spine that caused a back stroke that caused cardiac arrest that killed him instantly. He just happened to be on the ropes when it occurred. (At least that's what I remember reading, I might be wrong.) I remember when this happened. It was a terrible day for wrestling. God bless his family and friends. RIP Perro. 😔🙏✝️

Daivari is still active in wrestling today, in a behind the scenes role. And his younger brother also has wrestled for WWE, in their 205 Live promotion. As for the movie "The Fugitive," it wasn't based on Dr. Sam Sheppard, but rather on the 1963-1968 ABC-TV series of the same name. It was the series that was loosely based on Dr. Sam Sheppard.

I love Bret, thought he was great as soon as he became a single's wrestler. However his ego really got in the way of what was best for him and the company. Once you get past the "Bret was screwed," and try to look at the possitives for Bret, since WWE got the Vince McMahon character's birth. No one could ever get the heat and fan support Bret had going into WCW and WCW dropped the ball. The real tragity in the "Screw Job," was not in the night, that was the birth of two amazing pushes for Vince McMahon as a heel and Bret with the nuclear level fan support and heat, which was dropped by WCW. Best heels are the ones who do it for a reason, worst heroes are those forgotten about.
