The faces of North Koreans are illuminated by stage lighting as they watch pro wrestlers enter the arena, Saturday, Aug. 30, 2014 in Pyongyang, North Korea. North Koreans got their first look at pro wrestling in about 20-years on Saturday when former NFL lineman Bob "The Beast" Sapp, and 20 other fighters from around the world took to the ring for an exhibition in Pyongyang, put together by colourful Japanese pro-wrestler Kanji "Antonio" Inoki, who is now a member of parliament.

Professional wrestler Jerome "New Jack" Young, who was best known for his violent, hardcore style and unpredictability, died Friday afternoon from a heart attack.

Young was best known for his work in ECW from 1995-2001, winning the tag team titles on three occasions. He also wrestled for Smoky Mountain Wrestling and Total Nonstop Action among other promotions.

Well-wishes and condolences poured in on Twitter, with just a few examples below.

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. 🙏

Dax and I were just talking this week about how good he was when he spoke. RIP New Jack.

CORINO @StevenCorino

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

The legendary Young's wrestling career has been discussed and captured in numerous forums that extensively tell his story.

Johnson added this note about Young to close his report:

"There will be a lot written about Jerome Young in the days to come, good and bad, but the reality was this—he loved to perform and he loved to be New Jack in the public eye. He put himself through a lot of physical and mental pain in order to live his life as New Jack and once famously told our own Dave Scherer that he made the decision to do so, that he knew what he was getting into and that he would have no regrets, because it was the decision he chose to make."

Young was 58 years old. A GoFundMe page has been created to raise funds for his family.
