You may have booed him out of the building. But until now, you've never really known "The Most Dangerous Man in Wrestling." For the first time, Jerome "New Jack" Young opens up about his rise to stardom in Extreme Championship Wrestling. From his crazed dives off balconies and scaffolds to his bloody weapons matches that trampled the line between reality and entertainment, this candid memoir reveals the man behind the infamy, with new disclosures about the Mass Transit incident, the brutal beat-down of Gypsy Joe, and the stabbing of a fellow wrestler in Florida. Beyond the gimmicks that united white supremacists and the NAACP against him, New Jack discusses his violent youth that nearly led him to a life of crime, his career as a bounty hunter, a near-fatal drug addiction, the last months of ECW, and his place in wrestling history.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"A well written, page turning book that will keep the audience entertained"--<i>Lance Writes: Reviews by Lance Lumley</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>The late <b>Jerome "New Jack" Young</b> started his career in wrestling on a whim.
