Description of the situation from wikipedia:
The Danbury Fall
On March 12, 2000, New Jack (legitimately) suffered brain damage and was temporarily blinded in his right eye, when he and his opponent, Vic Grimes,
fell off a 15-foot-tall scaffold[2], missed the tables that were supposed to absorb the force of their fall and landed on the concrete floor (with
Grimes landing on New Jack's head) at Living Dangerously 2000. In a rematch between the two in Xtreme Pro Wrestling (XPW), New Jack threw Grimes from
a scaffold, with Grimes plummeting around 25 feet into the ring. The stunt did not work out as planned, as Grimes only landed on one of the twelve
tables that were intended to break his fall and ended up dislocating his ankle on the ring rope. In the 2005 documentary Forever Hardcore, New Jack
claimed that he had intentionally thrown Grimes too hard in the hopes that he would hit the ring post and for Grimes to be injured or killed, but
under further evaluation Grimes can be noticably seen pushing off the scaffold with his foot which is one of the main factors leading to the botch.
Also in the interview, he said that the Living Dangerously accident was his own fault for prematurely pulling Grimes down from the scaffold. Jack has
said that Grimes had been going around telling the locker room that he hurt New Jack, until Jack replied by saying "I hurt me."
