The wrestling 'style' of Balls Mahoney often rubbed people up the wrong way. Balls was a hell of a big man wrestler back in the day, but as crowds demanded more and more violence Balls Mahoney wasn't going to refuse their wishes. If they wanted chair shots, he would give them chair shots. If they wanted blood, Balls would spill buckets of his own to please him.
It was one such instance of bleeding that would see Balls Mahoney banned from wrestling in Maryland for life. Not long after ECW shut its doors, Balls was appearing at a show in the state at the Wicomico Youth & Civic Center, going up against old rival Rob Van Dam.
Before the show, the Maryland Commission set rules and guidelines that all the performers were to follow, the most important of which was for there to be no blood whatsoever. Balls got busted open however, and bled profusely during the match. This resulted in him going up against the Maryland Commission, and getting a lifetime ban from wrestling in Maryland.
Balls be banned!
