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."
