The above link takes you to a site where you have to confirm you are over the age of 18 before you can view this footage. If you're a wrestling fan then you will have heard of the Mass Transit incident. An ECW house show took place November 23, 1996 at the Wonderland Ballroom in Revere, Massachusetts. The scheduled match was Axl Rotten and D-Von Dudley vs The Gangstas. Axl Rotten failed to show up (The two reasons usually given are either a family emergency or Paul Heyman didn't buy him a plane ticket). Eric Kulas, some kid who has just turned 18, came over to Heyman and co. claiming to be professional wrestler trained by Killer Kowalski. After convincing Heyman he was also 19 Heyman allowed him to replace Rotten, giving him the gimmick of Mass Transit, some kind of bus driver. Pre match, he asked New Jack to blade him, because he'd never done it before. Ofcourse this went tits up when ECW style wrestling took place and much to everyone's surprise, the kid couldn't handle it.

The match starts off with D-Von quickly being defeated outside the ring, allowing The Gangstas to double team Transit. This naturally comes in the form of an ECW beat down using a bunch of random shit (And the obligatory toaster). Following this New Jack takes an exacto knife to Transit's forehead which severs two arteries and the blood immediately pools underneath the kid's face. The Gangstas continue the beatdown, presuming they're dealing with a trained wrestler. At one point Mustafa seems to bend down to check on the kid and then say something to New Jack. I'm guessing that the kid said he was fine to keep going and Mustafa passed the news onto New Jack. After a brutal chair shot, New Jack pins Transit and the match is over. The camera zooms into the FUCKING BLOOD SQUIRTING. Medic' arrive and New Jack keeps the audience occupied by remaining in character and going on a rant.

Now I'm gonna say this flat out. I hate New Jack. Guys an asshole but its Kulas that's the bad guy in this situation. Flat out lying to Heyman and crew just to get himself in a wrestling in match? Stupid kid. Basic summary: Guy thought he was hot shit on fine china when he was really cold diorarea on a paper plate.
