Reviewer: Mike Awesome (The 70's) - See all my reviews
Dude how on earth could you hope they would put 3 of my matches with Tanaka on the best of DVD. Sorry to say but I wouldnt be surprised if the actual dvd had half as many matches as you state.

Was this review helpful to you?

If it is, I feel sorry for the poor bastard. Hopefully he'll get work in Japan...he had some great matches there.

The webmaster at wrestlecrap.com also has a book coming out about the demise of WCW. Should be a good read.

6. bah

i prefer Learning more about ECW - when i finaLLy found it, it was on the way out.

did you ever hear of the "masstransit incident"? that happened in revere, ma... i couLda been there.

7. The Mass Transit incident was the most brutal thing I've ever seen..

New Jack was just in trouble again recently for stabbing some guy in Flordia during a match.

8. yeah i saw that

i Love new jack - just because he's so fucking insane.

i Loved how, that poor kid (MT was 17 at the time?) was gushing bLood and new jack hopped back in the ring to say "i hope that fat fuck dies!" which prompted the crowd to chant "you fat fuck!"

and the kid did die a few years Later (don't know if you knew that).

where did you see that match? it's hard to find.

9. I haven't seen the actual match--just the aftermath.

The video that I saw was on newjackuncut.com, his offical website. Along with that, it has some of his dives from ECW and his huge leap onto Vic Grimes in XPW.

15. update

As previously reported, former ECW and TNA star New Jack was arrested in Jacksonville, Florida, after a Thunder Wrestling Federation show. The match was scheduled to be a weapons match, despite what the event’s promoter has previously said.

A fan had apparently somehow gotten backstage before the match, while New Jack was talking over his match with William Lane. So, since New Jack doesn’t think it’s good to talk about matches before they happen in front of fans, he said “kayfabe” to Lane, signaling to go their separate ways and stop all talk about the match, as if they were in character. New Jack walked away, however Lane followed him, not knowing what Jack meant by “kayfabe”.

Lane just had a blank look on his face when New Jack said “kayfabe”, not knowing that it meant to go into character. New Jack then said something to the effect of “you look like you know what you’re doing, we’ll just call it in the ring”.

During the match, New Jack pulled out a sickle and stabbed him 14 times. Lane had no idea it was coming, and was hospitalized.

10. I think the gross mismanagement of WCW would make for good reading.

[ThePittsburghKid]

11. I don't know if you've read the first WrestleCrap book,

but it's discussed in there for a little bit. It's unreal how batshit insane Vince Russo was/is.
