Well this Face Off is unlike the other 13 titles that we have released. There was to be NO script. We took two men who are known to be insane, crazy and hot headed and who have real life issues outside of the ring together. This was to make for a toxic mix and I knew if I wanted to do anything with the two, I would honestly be risking that something could go horribly wrong. I was playing with fire and a open bottle of dripping gasoline on Monday night.
What we captured will NEVER ever be topped and that is a fact. To those of you who think this was a work or fake, I dare you to get the DVD and tell me that after you watch it. You are 110% wrong and I just wanted to give you a inside look on how this all went down. Like I have said in my other posts, I will put my companies reputation on the line here and say NOTHING about this was planned, rehearsed or anything else. Yes this is Pro Wrestling but when we shot this DVD, we thought outside the bubble and we had to make this as legit as possible.
The history is well documented before we even conducted our shoots with New Jack and Balls earlier this year. The heat started down in Florida and New Jack started his rants about Balls on his Facebook wall which lead to us doing a interview about other subjects and eventually Jack ripped Balls apart on our DVD with him Menace to Sobriety. In response Balls called us, we did not call him and wanted to give his side of the stories which he did on his Balls 2012 interview. During that interview Balls dropped the N bomb which led to a real life fist fight backstage at the ECW reunion show in June right here in Philly. That fight was as real as it got in which Jack pulled a machete on Balls after landing tons of blows to his face. Balls did not fight back because his kid and GF was there with him. Many people were in the room when this all went down. If you get the DVD of the show that night I am sure you can see Balls face had bruises on it.
A few days passed and that is when one night at like 2:30 AM I started to think what if I could get those two together to sit down and talk it out. So I called New Jack because he never sleeps, and gave him the idea. All I heard was laughing on the other end of the phone as he said that there was no way that Balls would agree to it. I told Jack that money talks and to give me a few days. I called Balls up and it took him a few days to get back to me. The first thing that Balls asked me was "how much is the pay day." I told him how much he would get and he than told me he needed to talk it over with his wife. He also went on to tell me that he didn't fight back that night because of his family and that if there was ever a next time that it would not be the same.
I told New Jack that Balls had to think of it and Jack said just give him the date and place and he would be there. Finally Balls called me back and told me that he really needed the money, and his wife was really against the idea. She did not want him to do this but he told her he was going to go thru with it anyway. I wanted this to be a safe environment so I figured I would get some actual police to be involved. I know many local police from the gym that I go to so I asked a few if they wanted to earn some extra money on the side and they told me they had to clear it with their office.
I informed Balls that I would hire real life cops to be at the scene when we conducted this interview and he really liked that idea. He did not trust New Jack at all. He said that there would actually be no way he would do this interview if Jack was not searched all the way and he said he wanted NOBODY allowed into the venue.
The next thing was trying to figure out where to do this at. There was no way I was filming this at my office for obvious reasons. I did not need a all out brawl go take place and my office to get destroyed. Renting out a hotel room would have lasted 5 minutes before we were thrown out due what I knew could happen. THANK GOD I DID NOT DO THAT WHICH YOU WILL SEE WHY WHEN YOU GET THE DVD!!!!
