Remember this was to show that I had one of the hardest/strongest skulls walking the planet, that was the story not so much the crazy ass demos I do, the main thing is to prove i have a genetic diffrence  then the average human being and they proved it... 
 
I thought the whole segment for me was well done.. They built up speculation with the feats of strength they showed like the cinderblock break and  bowling ball break..  2 of the feats that  are truly spectacular, THE IMPACT TESTING WOULD HAVE DONE JUST THAT AND  SHOWED I DO TAKE ALOT OF IMPACT FROM  THESE DEMONSTRATIONS, EXPLAIN AWAY WITH PYHSICS IF YOU NEED TO, BUT HAVING A BOWLING BALL DRILLED AT YOUR HEAD WITH THE FORCE I DO AND ONLY THING BETWEEN MY HEAD IS A BRICK OR TWO  TAKES COMPLETE AND UTTER STRENGTH AND TOUGHNESS.. The blood from the cinder block was real ... IT TAKES A SKILLED AND TRAINED MARTIAL ARTISTS TO EVEN ATTEMPT WHAT I DO BUT THAT DOESNT MEAN THEIR SKULL IS  WHERE MINE IS...LIKE HE SAID I PROVED HIM WRONG AND PROVED THAT My skull was SUPERHUMAN in its genetic make up AND HAS BEEN SINCE I WAS A CHILD!
 
things that happened in the shoot:
 
The Impact guys that were supposed to come-no showed us..They were going to put impact pads on my skull and on the iron bars, concrete bricks and cinderblocks.. I would have loved that!  
 
I HAVE TO ADMIT I WAS DISAPOINTED THEY DID NOT SHOW THE VIEWERS  4 OF MY OTHER FEATS but that would have given away the answer andkilled off the story they are trying to reveal, After I watched it the second time I picked that up... they needed to create a story and I think
they did .. THE JACKHAMMER FEAT AT THE WORCESTER FLEA MARKET,
 
 
this pic was taken by Snakeplissken at the flea market(look to the left inside the cinderblock-u can see the the jackhammer drilling away!
 
 
Which was performed in front of about 150-200 onlookers and got an awesome response from the crowd(this was taped by my freind Anthony and I will be putting that on this site in a few days!  They did not show it maybe because they wanted to show somthing diffrent and somthing that was redundant  as having somthing else broken over my head.. They instead went with the Nail driving I do. I know they  were short for time but I did  explain what happens in this feat and showed them another piece of sheetmetal/2x4 .. with broken nails going thru it.. and how dangerous it is..and the big scar I got from doing this feat...They didn't show the explanation just a blip..  I am the only strongman that has actually driven a .250 inch diameter  x  8 inch spike thru a 2x4 incased with a 1/16 thick pc of sheet metal.. REMEMBER I AM DRIVING THIS SPIKE THRU METAL N HARD PINE! Danial inspected everything and the wood (White Pine)and the sheet metal  thickness.. .. I've broken weaker nails in half and heavier SPIKES I bend them too.if the nail is not driven straight thru it, I destroy the nail because if cannot take the force and velocity I slam upon it not to mention the spike tips are either broken or dulled going thru the sheet metal..  I could not get a good position because of the cameras and they need to get a better view..also I did the feat twice that day and both spikes bent under the pressure... all in all  I know it looked brutal ... thats what they wanted thats what they got! 
 
They did not show me breaking 3 patiobricks2"x8x16 inch (I've done as much as 4) lined up on the side (the 8 inch side) in a holder-no spacers- no towel  for protection-just crashed thru them-head on concrete, a extremely difficult brick break  where as gravity doesnt  come into play and i'm not stacking bricks with spacers to make the feat easier plus like i mentioned -its skull on concrete -no padding! Thats is what you call impact!

 They showed the ironbar smashing I BROKE OVER 1 1/2 INCHES OF METAL,, the bars I use are the legit bars the Shaolin monks use in their demonstrations-they use 1  or 2 ..I use up to 8, i spoke personally to the manufacturers and they told me what i do is beyond comprhension and i have achieved IRONHEAD!  They  didn't get Daniel checking them out and testing them as he did with everything , as the STEEL BAR BENDING -they showed a lil clip in a commercial but that was that.. I bend it a unique way -I bent it around the top of my head flip it up and rebend it using my head as the base to bend it back straight! I never use a towel or a pad, my skull is hard and tough, i dont need  a pad. I will have the feat up in a few weeks...the pressure that the bar puts on my head when I reverse the bar and bend it straight is incredibly intense, I WOULD HAVE LOVED TO HAVE THAT MEASURED IN LBS!

I also have loved them showing me training Ironhead, where as I would show them me performing what i feel is the World Head Lift Record,  basically me lifting 540lbs on a barbell  in a power rack with my bare skull!
 
 .I truley believe this would have hurt the story line  they were building  not helped it.. They wanted to build up speculation and skepticism and say my abilities were not what they appear .. In the end it was like this guy does have  a genetic diffrence.. Thye hit a home run  with that..  
 
The hospital  trip was was great, I spent 1 hour under the MRI, and the results came out and The whole crew was pumped and i was i have to tell you, But I always had an idea-one does not smash thru an oak door ripping it off two of three of its hinges:) , Chris Knowinski and the medical staff was were amazed, they havent seen anything like that ever and had other doctors come in, i just talked to another one the other day-. Also they did not mention that my Skull  had no stress cracks, signs of fractures/injuries  and   I did not suffer from  acromegaly, a disease that results in an over abundance of growth hormones. Also known as Giantism(Andre the Giant and The Great Kahli suffer from this)
 
 I had an awesome time with the crew from the UK and Danial Browning Smith was truley the nicest guy, Dom and the rest of the crew and the staff at the hospital n Chris Knowinski--thank you so much.. big shout out to Joey n Dave, Chaotic wrestling Jamie, Mark and the workers and all that helped me thats dayand most of all having my name asociated with STAN LEE   is beyond  words can describe!!  I hope everyone enjoyed the show  and to all I may have forgot to mention thank you! 

Hammer Head

Premiere Date: 08/19/2010

Daniel meets Dean Karnazes. He's run 50 marathons in 50 days, and then ran 1300 miles back to the start. But how can Dean's body not suffer the exhaustion and fatigue faced by everyone else on earth? John Ferraro is rumored to have a skull that can withstand sledgehammers, bowling balls and even jackhammers. Daniel investigates to find out if he has a genetic difference that makes his skull superhumanly strong. Chris claims to have incredible powers like that of the Marvel comic-book character "Destiny"; he believes that his dreams are a window into the future. But will Chris' remarkable claims of premonitions stand up to the scrutiny of our host? Kenny Muhammad, aka "The Human Orchestra", is the most extraordinary human mimic on the planet. This wizard of sound possesses an astounding ability that enables him to simultaneously generate an entire orchestra of sounds from his mouth.

I have my mind set on new recoreds.. on a brief note I noticed a lame ass strongman copying one particular feat i perform-i guess flatery is all i can feel about that, if he really wants to up his testicular prowness , he can copy me all he wants-i'm younger and dam well stronger, i have alot going in my favor and when its all said in done and my new feats of strength will f'n boggle this morons mind-all i can say is bring it! Ok now that i got that off my chest, i'm moving into the final 3 weeks of my preparation, doing good  but not great- do to the flooding of my basement over the last month-i'm catching up to where i wanna be..i will be where i want to be before the cameras are rolling and the SUPERHUMAN TV crew comes from the UK to film me.. ALSO ..This is very important to me.. I do alot of crazy stuff and unless you wanna risk your life emulating me please leave it to me, i trained a certain way that many will consider unorthodox and unusual.. It has taken me years and my body has paid the price but in the end it has been worth it!  right now i am ecplipsing strongman Jack Walsh's head lift record of 500 lbs! I will have that record within a few weeks along with some new ones. I have full confidence i will have over 10 records by the end of this month..Wrestling my other love has been falling in place and now I am back where I belong-that is in Chaotic Wrestling -without a doubt the best New England promotion and as mateer of fact the best in north america, i'm making some waves there and couldn't be happier.. before I go m I wanted to send a thanks to everybody that has supported me and I will continue to astonish those who come out and see me..

I can't believe its been close to 10 years since I steped in  Chaotic wrestling ring. I left on great terms many moons ago. They were moving the company in a direction that I felt wasn't benificial for me. They wanted to try to become a wwe feeder system and my style, look and need to put food on the table for my family  which meant that my stay there was over. Jamie Jamkowski and Randy Miller are real good guys and ina world of asshole promoters (trust me I can Name them all) they were reliable and did excactly what they said, always got my check and always got my merchandise cut so I will never complain not to mention they helped me out in some non wrestling problems I ran into. For that I will always be grateful. Jamie took realm of the ship right after I left and he has bought the company to great places. Anyway Tommorrow nite i get inducted into the Chaotic Wrestling Hall of Fame, so to have my name to ever be associated with this great company is beyond words. Last year I got inducted into the New England Hall of fame for PROWRESTLING., that meant alot to me as to get recognized in a sport that positively takes more then it gives, wrestlers leave parts of their bodies in each in every ring they appear on , a little of themselves is lost to cheers of the crowds and to be recognized as a good entertainer and a credit to the sport you love is a dream come true. People who know me know being in Chaotic wrestling hall of fame is an honor that i hold so close to my heart and somthing I will always cherish, so thanks Jamie for giving me a  memory that will last a lifetime.
