WHY NEW JACK RETIRED & MORE @THE APTER CHAT

In this interview with Bill Apter, taped on June 7, 2014 at the Legends Of The Ring convention (www.legendsofthering.com) New Jack talks his retirement, what he's doing instead of wrestling, and what his most hardcore moment of his career was as well.

[@Bloodreign1]

The craziest guy I ever saw in wrestling, never was afraid to take a risk, even if it meant health issues later in life.

[@Kairi420]

CBS New Jack sounds like he's doing better than a lot of other retired wrestlers.

[@citizenbeeswax7985]

Not lately, CTE is catching up to him these days

[@ThugNinja]

@@citizenbeeswax7985 Rip New jack

[@michaeltaylor8835]

RIP Jerome thank you for my childhood memories

[@walternimroski9955]

There were times where I actually thought NewJack killed someone in the ring. He stabbed a couple guys so bad, he was later arrested and put in jail. He is, without a doubt, the most unpredictable, dangerous wrestler in history. There were quite a few wrestlers who wouldn't work with him, for fear he might stab them in the ring.

[@KasanovaKee325]

You would be alright if you sold his moves and did everything you supposed to do. One no sell and he'd be on your ass like white on rice.

[@marcorubio3496]

Is hard to believe how down to earth he is in this interview. Looks are deceiving.

[@walkerbartels479]

He said he is retired...but yet I'm watching him wrestle in Oct here in Minneapolis 😂😂😂

[@chriskoob]

he's "Terry funk" retired

[@mattguy2998]

He was jay-z retired at the time.rip new jack

[@freestaterevolution]

New Jack looks really good. There is a calmness to him in this interview that I haven't seen before. I know the road can take a lot out of you, especially when physical extremes are thrown in the mix. Acting is right up his alley- particularly taking on parts that are challenging...like an undercover cop. I believe another "OG" who just happened to perform "New Jack" a couple decades ago also played an undercover...ICE T! :-)

[@theimpaler1492]

freestaterevolution The calmness you see is the fact he is not high as hell on drugs. I agree he can act really well he acts tough all the time so becoming an actor should be easy for him.

[@c-lukethebillcooperguyback6415]

@@theimpaler1492 No, the calmness is because he's not in character. Jack didn't "act tough" he was.

[@GageZo]

I like how he reminded him of the ass whooping. Basically saying don't get stupid in this interview 😂

[@louiscsanko9322]

NEW JACK IS A BAD MAN// LOVED HIS MATCHES// SINGLES MATCHES AND WITH THE GANGSTAS IN ECW***

[@chrisbenton215]

RIP NEW JACK

[@generalpicket55]

Thumbs up for NEW JACK.

[@GWRevolutionTV]

he definitely has the personality for acting.. glad he landed a tv show

[@Buscar39]

Believe he is lying about that because I can not find any information on it.

[@TEXAZHAZE]

Buscar39 i thought same but i watch just find out if hes on it and he was on thier blew my mind

[@Buscar39]

Kokayne Dawkins What episode?

[@celestecruthird7842]

Love NJ!❤

[@Based_Proletariat]

It's good to know that New Jack is still kickin'.

[@ecwdudleyboyz6553]

New Jack needs a damn face scan for 2K

[@turtlesfml]

Just put in a generic chubby guy face, no hair, goatee, black skin, and fuck the forehead up with scars.

[@kenthegamer]

New Jack is nuts

[@soldiergamingwinn2277]

He seems like a nice genuine guy in any interviews I have seen him in, even when he is talking about the horrific things he has done like stabbing wrestlers, don't know what to think of the guy

[@rileychev]

You should watch clips of him on youtube just type in "Youshoot: Breaking kayfabe with New Jack" he really opens up about his upbringing and he get's emotional, in interviews he's down to earth and he's a great guy he even went out of his way to see Jim Cornette hug him and apoligize for the things he's said about him over the last 20 years but he's a completely different person when he's in a competetive mind thinking a wrestler is out to get him while he is high on coke that's why he carried a knife going to indy promotions after ECW shut down, but when he's clean i believe he's a good guy.

[@donnymoney4222]

hes a nice guy but when that bell rings he's an asshole lol

[@TeamPaidToDrive]

RIP New Jack

[@kevinjackson1275]

[@jasonhuntley4203]

why did New Jack retire? why? he was/ still is one of the most violent, craziest son of a bitch i know and even though he liked to "Cut a motherfucker doesn't mean he still can't whoop some ass mad respect for the man thank you for all the violent memories...

[@DevoJetBoy]

New Jack isn't REALLY retired. He still does run-ins. lol

[@Videogamestwin]

Good interview but the camera guy should do a better job because everything is overexposed. We can't see Bill forehead.

[@jamessanchez1220]

i cant find the blue bloods episodes with new jack

[@jeffflair]

Look under the name Jerome young new Jack's real name should find it.

[@tomtanaka841]

james sanchez there's nothing out there, his scene was probably cut. Nowhere is he listed as being on that show.

[@general5886]

new j got that alien cranium!

[@thurstonmayo9940]

hes doing acting pay attention and listen. hes on tv show called blueblood friday nights on cbs stop skipping through the interview.

[@impalaman9707]

Looks like his skull has been permanently dented!

[@toolinc.collection1521]

he retired because no one wanted to work with him

[@k0kan3]

The title was enough for me. Just glad this POS is out of the business.

[@itsX2024]

New Jack is a kind hearted man.

[@mdbmania]

TheSavageX2014 No he's not

[@itsX2024]

mdbmania Of course he is.

[@h9uableshoots]

You salty?

[@bkmessiah1068]

He was forced to retired for trying to stab a man to death.

[@shawnrumley3356]

I believe you jack is a pathological liar I looked up Blue Bloods and which episode he was on he wasn't on any of them you guys pathological recording to other wrestlers and what I've seen

[@landon0823]

He retired Bc he was a bum ass drug addict and no one wanted to sign him Bc he was too dangerous
