7. New Jack Blinds Himself With Vic Grimes
Tommy Dreamer summed this incident up best when he said “We all saw that fall from the scaffolding on the pay-per-view. I literally thought he was dead.” New Jack isn’t a man known for his safety or care of the well being for the his fellow wrestlers but in December 2000 he took it too far. While working a scaffold match against Vic Grimes the plan was for each man to take the bump from the 25 foot high scaffold down through the tables that were set up on the concrete floor to “break” their fall. Of course things didn’t go according to that plan as according to New Jack, Vic Grimes tried to bail out of the spot at the last minute fearing that the scaffold was too high. Jack wasn’t having any of that though and hung onto Vic as he jumped down, dragging the big man down straight on top of his head. New Jack says that he could see brain fluid leaking from his nose backstage and has permanently lost vision in his right eye.
