Due to the recent passing of one of the most controversial stars to ever step foot in a wrestling ring, I decided to make a thread on what a New Jack run in McMahonland would look like. Yes, I know due to his unstable/unpredictable nature, major wrestling companies wanted to stay clear of him, but lets just pretend for the sake of this thread, he was on his best behavior, how would you book him?
Would you bring his tag team partner Mustafa Saed alongside him as they play a dominant role in the tag team division? I can see that, as well as a him holding the hardcore championship a handle of times.
I'll post my idea after I see a few suggestions on the ECW original.

I liked New Jack for what he was, but a WWF run would not have worked at all.
Even in the Attitude Era, you would have had to tone down his language and violence for the number one show on cable. You maybe could have done a comedy thing like with Shark Boy in TNA, but that would have been dependent on fans being familiar with New Jack from ECW to be funny.
Basically it would have been like Public Enemy in WCW, where it would just expose his weaknesses.

Yeah, it's a similar situation to where we are when the Nick Gage in AEW whispers start, outside of the novelty value of a one off appearance you instantly cut them off at the knees when you even start to make them compatible for national TV. Cut out the profanity, the edgy promo material and use of weapons and what are you left with? Not a lot tbh.
Some wrestlers just work better being outlaws or outsiders and I for one hope that there's always a few knocking around. Wrestling needs its folk heroes.

Kaientai hires New Jack and Mustafa to take care of Val Venis for them. But they stab them in the back by interfering in their match at Summerslam against the Oddities, except they beat up everybody including ICP, match ends in a draw, and New Jack gets the mic and cusses out ICP and the Juggalos. The following Monday they are forced to apologize and they bring little persons in ICP makeup and make fools out of them and Ed Ferrera and Jason Sensation dress up as Juggalos with toy hatchets and New Jack beats them up. They following week they feud with both LOD and DOA in a three way and instead of Droz knocking Hawk down the titantron New Jack knocks him down intentionally and announces it was no accident and he doesn’t care if Hawk never recovers from the fall or the addictions.

If we're doing this hypothetical, then I would get him in around 2002 to reboot the hardcore division.
Keep the 24/7 rule on, but it's Jack. He is crazy. People try to ambush him to win the belt and end up getting incredibly violent beat downs.
To eventually build to some new heel getting a rub from destroying him for that belt.

Instead of hornswoggle, have New Jack be Vince McMahon illegitimate son.  |

They would have put him with heel Teddy Long, had him attack & beat down Undertaker & then get squashed on a minor PPV before a lengthy run on Main Event.

Tag team division in 2003 Raw or 2004 Smackdown.
Mustafa as his partner ideally, but if he wouldn't be coming in during 2003 then I'd pair him with Teddy Long and Rodney Mack.
2004 I have him go to Smackdown in the draft and tag him with Hardcore Holly or Kanyon.

Never in a million years would i book him in WWE. He was way too unprofessional and a liability. Plus his style would be too extreme for any major promotion.

I would have had the Gangstas as the tag team of the Nation of Domination, with the 'unf**kwithable' veteran Farooq keeping a close eye on Jack for management. With the WWE running taped shows at that time it would have helped keep him on the straight and narrow, promo wise... And the racist as hell DX parody would have gone a lot differently.
New Jack could work when he wanted to, he would have done okay, if he acted up, they could swap to D-Lo and Mustafa as the Gangstas pairing.

New Jack makes Shawn Michaels his bitch and runs him out of WWE.
or
New Jack taken to Suplex City three dozen times, he refuses to stay on the stretcher and limps his ass to the locker room with his head held high.

Just a one-night appearance.
At the 2018 Royal Rumble, have New Jack enter instead of the Hurricane. He has a brief staredown with Cena, then gets quickly eliminated.
New Jack gets a nice payday for little work, and the crowd reaction would've been awesome!

New Jack. Amateur wrestling machine. With head gear.

With the WWE running taped shows at that time it would have helped keep him on the straight and narrow, promo wise... And the racist as hell DX parody would have gone a lot differently. New Jack could work when he wanted to, he would have done okay, if he acted up, they could swap to D-Lo and Mustafa as the Gangstas pairing. That's something similar to what I had in mind. Basically I would bring in The Gangstas after Faarooq promises to form a "bigger and blacker" Nation, so that would be in the summer of 1997. To keep this timeline to as close as the original one, I'd have them win the tag titles at In Your House:Ground Zero in a fatal four way match(sorry Headbangers) and then lose them to the L.O.D. shortly after Badd Blood(sorry Godwinns). They can win them back from the L.O.D shortly after Survivor Series or IYH:DX and feud with them throughout the winter of 97/98(same as the New Age Outlaws). They can then lose the belts to/transition into a feud with a about to turn New Age Outlaws at Unforgiven. This could be part of the greater NOD/DX feud(now with Rock leading) with The Gangstas winning the belts from them one more time on the Raw after King of The Ring before losing it back at Summerslam, putting an end to the feud. After the Nation disbands, New Jack could get a singles push with Mustafa Saed fading more into an enforcer role, just in time to make a splash into the hardcore division trading the championship with guys like Road Dogg, Big Bossman, Al Snow, The Holly Cousins, Steve Blackman, Raven etc etc(the usual suspects). I'm drawing a blank after 2000 though. This is assuming he is kept in check and makes it throughout those years. Not to mention dosen't stab or even shoot on anybody(including his hardcore matches). |
