10 Things We Learned From VICE’s Dark Side Of The Ring: New Jack

3. Jack Stabbed An Opponent Nine Times In 2004

Eight years on from 'Mass Transit', New Jack was arrested for in-ring antics again.

This is where the doc takes a strange turn (ha). Wrestling promoter turned musician MWW played a snippet from one of his songs, called Jack someone who "just wants to make people happy" and says he enjoyed spending time with him when the ex-ECW wild man worked for his Thunder Pro Wrestling outfit in 2004.

There, New Jack was booked against a guy called Hunter Red. That one indy match in front of 30 people (at best) would go on to create headlines. Earlier in the day, Hunter had walked out on Jack as he was laying some spots out, and things escalated when he began punching Jack for real inside the ring. Retaliating, Jack pulled out a blade and stabbed Red nine times.

Though the news reported 16 puncture wounds, Jack says it was nine. He knows because he counted each and every one. New Jack was arrested again, but was later released when Red offered to drop all charges if they turned it into an angle. Jack agreed, then never followed up on it when he got out.
