Brain Damage: New Jack vs. Vic Grimes

[Webster]

There is no one in professional wrestling as notorious as New Jack. The stories we read about Jerome Young seem unbeliavable at first, but you best believe that New Jack really did live the gimmick. In SMW and ECW, New Jack made headlines along with his "Gangstas" tag partner Mustafa, brining a new meaning to extreme wrestling.

At ECW Living Dangerously 2000, New Jack worked a match against Da Baldies. During this match, the infamous "Danbury Fall" occured when Vic Grimes fell on top of New Jack when a planned table bump from a scaffold went wrong. The botch left New Jack with some serious health issues, and New Jack heard that Grimes was boasting about putting New Jack out of commission. New Jack returned to ECW a few months later but, in his words, he was never the same.

Fast forward 2 years later and New Jack vs Vic Grimes is booked in XPW, in an event aptly named "FreeFall". During this match, New Jack got his revenge when Vic Grimes was thrown from a 40 foot scaffold, right into the ring.
