The Best New Jack Tribute Stories You Need To Know
Pat Buck Recounts Machetes And Numerous Retirements
He may now earn a living as a backstage producer under the WWE banner, but Pat Buck had quite the life before he decided to transition into a different role within the industry.
On top of actually performing in the squared circle on the independent circuit, Buck also ran his own shows, many of which involved New Jack... whether he was booked to perform or not. As revealed in a tribute on Twitter, for a solid three years, the hardcore icon would make his presence known on whichever show Buck was promoting. But this could result in some rather intense situations from time to time, notably when New Jack once lost Buck a building due to him doing donuts in his car and chasing the students of the now-WWE employee around with a machete. As you do.
In another telling tale of his past with the late performer, Buck also revealed that New Jack's 2014 retirement match resulted in his ring being absolutely wrecked. However, the fact that 1,600 people showed up to wave goodbye to him meant that the two got over this chaos with a "bloody broken glass hug after".
Oh, and New Jack would then proceed to un-retire on the following show... and the one after that...
Thank you, New Jack. ??❤️ pic.twitter.com/EzAJYXpm92
