Jack once told my wife " Vito! I Love that Mother F*cker" and I loved him too. We had great matches and even greater times out of the ring. RIP Jerome. See you down the road brother #NewJack #RIP #ECW4Life @magicTspiller pic.twitter.com/fWPwh0XTGR

Rest In Peace New Jack. Our interactions were few, but certainly memorable. One of a kind.

Just landed in Baltimore and heard the news of new jack. I just seen him at the airport last Sunday walking with his face mask that said new jack and he stopped and we chatted for about 45 mins. Never take a day for granted

I didn’t share a ton of locker rooms with New Jack, but when I did it was never dull. I’ll always remember the first time I met him in CA. Let’s just say it was… eventful. Rest well, Jack. Godspeed. 🙏

New Jack was always good to me. He told me that since Jack Victory liked me, he’d put up with me.

We used to do these crazy 8-mans in ECW. Jack would always be last and I’d get goosebumps when that music hit. Then pray I wasn’t getting the crutch that night! Thank you Jack.💔

We were complete opposites but we alway got along. Shared a lot of locker rooms together. #RIPNewJack
