Je'Von Evans Shares Influence of Late ECW Star New Jack
WWE wrestler Je'Von Evans has disclosed that he received training from the late ECW star New Jack, who played a significant role in his development as a professional wrestler. Evans, who joined WWE in 2023, gained recognition on the independent circuit through performances in promotions like Deadlock Pro-Wrestling and GCW.
During an interview, Evans referred to New Jack as a mentor, describing him as akin to an uncle. He expressed a wish to have faced New Jack in the ring, although this is no longer possible due to New Jack's passing in 2021 at the age of 58.
New Jack, who began his wrestling career in the early 1990s, became well-known in ECW for his tag team work and later as a singles competitor. He was recognized for his fighting spirit and willingness to challenge norms, earning a dedicated fanbase. In his later years, he contributed to the wrestling community as a guest trainer at Firestar Pro Wrestling, where he and Evans crossed paths.
