Shortly after New Jack's death, Paul Heyman shared an emotional tribute to the late legend on Talking Smack.

What did Paul Heyman say in his tribute to New Jack three years ago?

New Jack worked for ECW back in 1995-2001. He made a name for himself in the promotion and later worked for several other companies. Heyman had a lot to say about the late veteran in his Talking Smack tribute.

Check out an excerpt from his promo:

"When I heard that New Jack had passed away, my hope was that New Jack had turned to his own wife and said, ‘Hey, I’d like to read my own obituary. Call a bunch of people, and tell them that I died. Everybody’s going to make a big fuss about it, and I’ll read about my own life.’ Then, at some point this weekend, they’d sell a bunch of t-shirts and he’d sit there and go, ‘Gotcha!’ Because that’s what New Jack would do."
