(New Jack is sitting on some steps somewhere.) "I ain't mad at the Dudleys, 'cause they stupid and they don't know no better. Mustafa, you got to deal with me. Look in my fuckin' eyes! You got to deal with me. Pay Per View. Asbury Park. Son, you don't know what you done got yourself into. (NJ has taken off his bandana and is bleeding from the forehead.) And I promise you, I don't care about a belt, I don't care about a title, (smacking himself in the forehead for emphasis to increase the blood flow), on this night, I will work for free. Because I am going to kick your fuckin' ass all over that fuckin' building. And when you go back to Nevada with your broke ass, you're gonna know that this was the biggest mistake you ever could have made. Because I created all this violence, and ECW, WCW, WWF and every independent on the market, New Jack started. You was just a gopher. You was just somebody that was glad to get a check. I didn't need you then, but I need you now. Please show up. Black on black crime at its finest. Mustafa, you going down. And I promise you, I'm going to hurt you. Dudleys, I'll deal with you on a later date. But Mustafa, for the Pay Per View, please do me this favor: show up and watch me perform surgery on your black ass. I hope you're happy. Kiss your ugly-ass wife. Kiss your kids. Tell them goodbye. Because when you show up at Asbury, it ain't gonna be a wrestling match, it's gonna be a homicide. And you bet your ass on that. Please show up." (Stands up and walks away)

"I'd like to send a special shout-out to my homeboy O.J. Simpson. Keep up the good work baby, two less we got to worry about."

"I avoid eulogies as best I can because anytime I'm faced with them, the first thing that comes to mind is, "Hey, this sucks", and there's no good spin that I can put on it. When I heard that New Jack had passed away, my hope was that New Jack had turned to his wife and said, "Hey, I'd like to read my own obituary. Call a bunch of people, and tell them that I died. And then everybody's gonna make a big fuss about it. And I'll read about my whole life". And then, at some point this weekend, they'd sell a bunch of t-shirts, and he'd sit there and go, "Gotcha!". That's what New Jack would do. Apparently, it's not so, which sucks.
Usually, when we pay tribute to somebody here in WWE, we show a lot of footage of that person. To be blunt, we can't show you a lot of footage of New Jack because he was the most non-PG performer in sports-entertainment history because New Jack was a gangsta. Everybody who was a fan of ECW that came to see ECW who watched ECW knew that fact from the moment his music hit. New Jack was the most gangsta of all of us gangstas. Anybody that ever saw New Jack perform live or heard him cut a promo understood just how real he was.
Jerome Young was quite the individual. And deep in his heart, he was every bit of New Jack that he could offer you. I wish you all a most extreme weekend. Gangsta style."
