New Jack assaults & breaks Chad Austin's leg with a chair.

On March 30th, 1996, Stevie Richards & The Blue Meanie were scheduled to take on New Jack and Mustafa Saed: The Gangstas in a tag-team match. However, Stevie had suffered a cracked orbital bone in a match with Rob Van Dam the night before (ECW played off the injury as an attack by Tommy Dreamer, due to their feud at the time) and couldn't compete.

With Richards out of the match, "Stone Cold" Chad Austin was brought in to take his place. Similar to the Mass Transit Incident, when Mass Transit replaced Axl Rotten in a tag-team match with D-Von Dudley and was then brutally attacked by New Jack, "Stone Cold" Chad Austin would suffer a similar fate for similar reasons.

The Blue Meanie stated in an interview for his Myspace fans...

"Austin was no stranger to getting himself the worst type of heat you could get in a locker room. His mouth wrote his ass Trump-sized checks.
His heat with New Jack went back to when Austin did some stuff in Smokey Mountain [Wrestling]. Chad showed up to Smokey Mountain and spouted off in the locker room how he was an agent for ECW and how he could get guys work in ECW, etc.
He pulled New Jack to the side and said "Hey Jack, you think you could put a word in for me?" to which Jack said "YOU'RE the ECW agent. Why do you need my help". Lol.

He got so much heat on him in Smokey, there was running bets on who who would beat his ass first, between New Jack and Bruiser Bedlam.
So things shift over to ECW and Chad shows back up to get work. So instead of doing the obvious thing, Chad went up to New Jack and started dictating what he thought they should do.

So New Jack comes up to me and says "Meanie, me and Mustafa are working you and this BOY, Chad Austin. Stay with Mustafa. Don't come near me." So I took the wise road and stayed out of the New Jack no fly zone."

So on April 4, 1996, ECW aired the show and the carnage began. While New Jack did seem to pull most of his punches, his chair shots were a different story. For the majority of New Jack's attack, he was nailing Austin with chair shots left and right. When the chairs ran out, New Jack grabbed a fan's metal crutch and nailed it across Austin's back, bending it. While Austin tried scurrying away, New Jack grabbed yet another chair and slammed it down sideways across the top of Austin's neck. He finally collapsed to the ground, but New Jack was no where near finished.

New Jack told IGN...

"Chad Austin ...he came up to me before the match and said he wanted to have a match like we had against Public Enemy. He was talking about how he wanted this, that, and the other, blood and guts, and I was like, who is this guy?
The good part about this, though, was he pissed me off so bad that that's how I came up with my finish. They call it a 187, diving off of the top rope with the chair. Chad is the reason I came up with that because I wanted to do something to him that people would really remember. I needed something that I thought would kill that motherf***** with, so I dove off with the chair and smashed him in the face with the chair. That's how I started doing that as my finish. So, thank you, Chad. [laughs]"

Just as he said, after Mustafa powerslammed Austin, New Jack came crashing down on Austin's skull with a sickening thud that echoed throughout the ECW Arena. The referee counts the 1-2-3, even though it is obviously clear Austin's left shoulder is sticking straight up.

New Jack sat on Austin's head for a few seconds before jumping up and going for the same chair he used for the 187. New Jack assaulted Austin with a chair five times after the match, the last three swings breaking Chad Austin's leg. On the third swing, you can see New Jack hit Austin's knee with the steel frame of the chair. Austin tried moving out of the way protecting himself at the same time, to little avail. He clearly had problems standing up and was rolled out of the ring.
