The heat originally stemmed from a show down in Florida for Frank Goodman, in which Frank, the promoter, informed New Jack that Balls Mahoney had fukked up a hotel room, had blood everywhere and Frank had to pay for it and said he'd no longer use Balls Mahoney. Actually, I doubt Frank has ran a show since.
But as time went by, it was speculated that Balls was in the room with a "rat" (wrestling groupie) and they had spent the night sucking blood out of each other, injecting each other with it and writing on the walls with blood. This pissed New Jack completely off (as if you remember his shoot where he talked about Abdullah The Butcher, you'll understand) and he started letting everybody know about Balls. What made it even worse was during a indy show in the northeast, Balls ended up throwing up immediately after the match, getting some on fans in the front row.
So, New Jack did a shoot with RF where he verbally ripped Balls apart, about his vampire ways and how nasty and pathetic he's become. Balls ends up calling RF and does a shoot of his own, where he says he doesn't know what Jack is talking about, threatens him and even calls him the n-word.
So at 1 of the Extreme Reunion shows, they are face to face for the first time and as the story goes, Jack proceeded to beat Balls like a bytch and even pulled a machete out on him, attempting to cut him. From the get go, Balls always said if he and Jack fight, it will likely end in a murder and before the fight, they were backstage at an indy show, in which New Jack (as always) had a knife and Balls "supposedly" had a gun.
I've seen the interview and really don't want to spoil it but at times, you'd think it was all a big work. But other times, you can see that Jack, oddly enough, had a reason for everything he said and did about Balls because it never turned violent until Balls called him the n-word in a recent shoot. The same reason why New Jack fought Sandman, the reason he hated Cornette for years, the reason why he wanted to kill Brian Pillman and the reason why Jamie Dundee was scared to do a shoot with New Jack, as all have called him that word and his reaction has always been the same: HE GOES APEshyt.
