The Best New Jack Tribute Stories You Need To Know

Scotty Riggs Will Never Forget One Night At New Jack's Place

Stepping away from the squared-circle, WCW and ECW alumni Scotty Riggs' tribute to his old pal highlights just how extreme New Jack's life was outside of his spells causing mayhem in the ring.

As the two were travelling together during a Smokey Mountain loop, the pair were involved in one particular late night trip that led to Riggs needing to crash at the ECW Original's place for the evening. However, a mere 15 minutes on from his head touching the pillow, Riggs was awoken by the sound of the police smashing through the front door.

The cops weren't searching for Jerome Young, though. As it turns out, the officers were hoping to find the wrestler's old roommate in the home. The gun-wielding police may not have found the person they were looking for on that night, but Riggs found out the hard way that accepting an invite to sleep over at the hardcore pioneer's place didn't always promise a peaceful night's sleep.
