Alright, Im gonna announce it...mainly...cause it aint happening now, and I feel bad that we hyped it so much and never paid it off.

So here is the announcement.

No Mercy Video was going to put out a DVD through XEG. It was going to be in stores everywhere and whatnot. This was going to lead to a nationwide tour to promote the dvd and film the second one.

There was a problem though......

They wanted to put alot of nudity in it.

Some of you may say, whats the big fucking deal, but to anyone who has seen an XEG release (best of backyard wrestling, Crazy White Boys) they know that it feels out of place. Just random topless girls bein sexy. That doesnt have anything to do with our product. So we came up with a compromise, A storyline where we are on a quest to stop them from showing the titties. We had already filmed the ending where is shows me running into the house were they were filming the girls and I spear one of them through the backdrop and talk about how we dont need any fake titties on our dvd. They loved it, we were ok with it, it just never sat right with me.

Another issue I wasnt fully happy with was they would have owned us for 5 years, any deals we or they bring to the table, they get a cut of.

I fell that with this tv show on our plate now, we have alot more bargining power and have the chance at a much better deal.

So there you have it, take it for what you will, Trizz and I made the decision to cancel it a few days ago.

I may sell what I had filmed already through the website to those who may want it, or I may save it, im not sure yet.

Sorry to keep everyone hanging for so long, I didnt want to announce it because I hadnt signed the paperwork, and the deal never sat fully right with me.

I'm actually pretty familiar with XEG and I know what you're talking about. They add gratuitous nudity to their videos in hopes of boosting sales - which I'm not against by philosophy, but they do it so poorly.

Its pretty retarded because the nudity is so pointless. There are a million ways to throw in some ass & titties into a DVD. They could easily have some fun with it, but instead its literally just topless girls looking into the camera saying stupid shit.

The whole chucking a spear at a big titted bimbo sounds hilarious dude! So you actually filmed that part? Do you have the footage or do they? What was it like filming that? Please do elaborate :)

Its a shame they wanted a cut of all future deals for 5 years, it sounds like it wouldve been a pretty cool opportunity aside from that.

If you dont mind me asking, what sorta deal did you have to begin with? Were they going to pay you upfront? How many copies did they say they could push?

The DVD would have been good, but the TV show sounds better. Im sure a DVD (More widely distributed even) could come TV sshow.
Good luck with everything

Yeah we actually filmed it, they wewre filming one of those best of backyard babes dvd, they brought us over to the shoot, we hung out for a few hours watchin titties walkin round. Then they found a girl who was down to do it, so we filmed it, they prebut the white background they were using and I ran and speared her through it.

Sadly they have the footage and I do not.

The deal was going to be 5000 up front, and 1.25 per unit sold, and .75 for every ppv buy.

It woulda been ok money, but im sure we can get a better deal after what we got going on now.

I would have done the same, so I support your decision (if it matters)

I wouldn't want to be owned by some company and fork over bullshit just because I signed a contract and they're doing nothing at all but take in a profit.

Lot of respect for you for sticking by your principles and going for quality standard rather than quick cash, guys. That takes a lot of guts.


Screw it, even if you put this DVD out independently, I'll still buy one.

Good move, but my I highly suggest you keep your ties with them because if things fall though with the TV show (which I doubt will happen), you'll always have a place to fall back on :biggrin:

Good luck with everything guys.. see ya soon :cool:
