Gangstas

[8.0] "Not the msot technically gifted tag team but they worked their gimmick perfectly. ECW was a great fit for them and the crowd loved them. Did you want to see them exchange headlocks? no of course not you wanted them to get into a crazy brawl and they delivered every time."

"People here are not understanding that these guys worked for fucking ECW of all places, they were a great tag team for what ECW wanted to offer, they would translate terribly in places like WWE though, I get that, still though, New Jack and Mustapha entertained me"

[5.0] "100% gimmick. Saed was fine as enhancement talent in WCW but New Jack will always be a zero. Where my ranking for this *team* comes in works kinda like this: I fkn LOVE the song "Natural Born Killaz". When watching an unaltered ECW, you sometimes get the whole song being played during one of their garbage brawls. Peanut Butter & Jelly, Disco & Polyester...or perhaps even more realistically: life & water. An altered ECW on Peacock/WWE Network however gives this pair NO saving graces. 10 for the unaltered insanity that we got to experience in the '90s, ZERO for what is presented nowadays."

[7.0] "They had awesome tag team brawls that always left me entertained. This team had ways of keeping you interested by race based actions and funny to serious promos and hype videos, the one for the undertaker was halarious."

[4.0] "They were fine as a hardcore team. Not great, just fine, chiefly because Mustafa Saed was basically a lesser New Jack in the ring and nowhere near as charismatic nor as good as promos as he was. I think they peaked during their early ECW stint when they started feuding with the Public Enemy, then the violence became cartoonish and the matches too repetitive. They won a reprieve feuding with The Eliminators but by that time they were clearly running on fumes and the ECW was full of thrashy garbage wrestlers hitting each other with guitars and whatnot and the shock factor was gone."

[0.0] "The Gangstas are a garbage tag team that all they can do is hit people with weapons and injuring them in the process. New Jack was a fine promo worker which could have give them some extra points but he is a psycho who likes to hurt his colleagues so they are a zero."

[6.0] "While neither Jack nor Mustafa could really be called good wrestlers, they could put on some of the more wild brawls of their era and were buoyed by New Jack's promo work. They also benefited from bookers in Cornette and Heyman that could play to their strengths and place them in compelling angles and storylines."

[7.0] "Were they good wrestlers? haha no of course not even close. But what they were was a cohesive unit that really played well off the gimmick they set out."

[5.0] "Ive seen several matches from "The Gangstas" and i am impressed at their ability to have hardcore matches. Neither New Jack or Mustafa are very good actual wrestlers. I watched their debut in 1994 in SMW and they still had that same tough style as they did in ECW, even the same theme song. Overall good at hardcore matches but thats about it."

[7.0] "The Gangstas were a great gimmick. What they lacked in wrestling ability, they made up for in New Jack's explosive, controversial promos. They had the most power in Smoky Mountain, when they were inciting violence among the, shall we say, proud rebel sons, who watched the show."
