DVD REVIEW: NEW JACK: HARDCORE
Well I have to start by saying that this is a very interesting documentary style dvd, however if you've seen any of New Jack's previous shoot interviews then you've heard alot of these stories before (some word for word the same) however there are some extra tidbits and views thrown in that hasn't been seen elsewhere.
This documentary was done by the same guy who did '101 Reasons NOT to be a Pro Wrestler' which pretty much sucked, so I really didn't have high hopes for this other than it's always funny listening to New Jack go off about shit. The video features New Jack in various locations telling different stories and discussing different topics(as well outlining his career). The really great thing is it shows match clips including the infamous match in Florida that landed him in jail for three weeks untill the charges were dropped, in which Jack is working some shitass who obviously has NO CLUE how to work. After trying to work with this idiot for a couple of minutes, New Jack has enough and PULLS A KNIFE out of his pocket and commences to STABBING this poor bastard numerous times, once in the face even!!
Also included is the brutal beating of old ass Gypsy Joe at a Mike Porter show in Tennessee, there are clips shown during the main show, then the entire match is shown in the extras. This match has to be seen to be believed, again New Jack tries to work with the 75 year old but after Joe doesn't sell and then headbutts him in the nose New Jacks procedes to beat the fuck out of the old man while rednecks scream the "n-word" and various other racial slurs at him. He hit the guy in the head full on with a barbed wire baseball bat, not worked mind you. He then whips him with the barbed wire and wrapped it around his head and ripped it off. Finally the promoter stops the match to keep Gypsy Joe from literally being killed.
Anyway, I'm not gonna spoil it all here but Jack discusses his career in depth as well as: the Mass Transit story in detail, balcony diving, dumbass backyard wrestlers and why they "deserve to get hurt", Vic Grimes, beating up fans, ECW road stories, drugs, rats, and a million other things.
If your a fan of New Jack, I would recommend this, or even if your not it's still a very interesting dvd. Check out a preview of it below.
Check back soon as I will have a LOT more reviews coming up (I just got in about 50 new dvds this week) Amongst the upcoming shoot reviews will be shoots with Paul Bearer, Ernest "the Cat" Miller, Lollipop, Mike Awesome, and more, including a brand new shoot with Tammy "Sunny" Sytch where she discusses the death of Chris Candido, her disagreements with his family on how it was handled, the fact her and Chris were never legally married, and her 9 month affair with "HBK" himself!
All this plus some top ten lists coming soon,
