Ian Rotten Recap

The most professional start to the show as Ian Rotten gives ten seconds of silence followed by the Doctor asking if many boys go to the Rotten household to discuss bookings, angles and the like. Apparently the question is all legit and the answer is not like back in the day. Ian reminisces of CM Punk recording and critiquing his matches and Sabu taking as much time to tell Ian's wife how good the food is at thanksgiving than the time it takes for him to execute a successful Triple Jump Arabian Press.

Dr. Keith asks how Ian manages to keep going with all his dire financial woes? Ian says he tells the IWA fans and they come to his rescue. Ian then goes on to thank the fans of the European WXW to help him get over the death of Chris Candido. 'I get down, I get so pissed off reading message boards,' Ian then shoots on the message board geeks that state the Ted Petty tournament is a technical wrestling tournament. 'The Ted Petty represents everything that Ted Petty was; Ted Petty was a high-flyer, Ted Petty could knock the living daylights out of you, so he could definitely work strong style and Ted Petty was a brawler.'

Ian talks about Eddie Gilbert almost being forgotten today and doesn't wish for the same with Ted Petty and Chris Candido. Ian says that if he went out of business, he'd 'make a lot of people happy for the wrong reasons.' Keith demands names. Ian obliges! Jim Cornette is name number one. That 'beat-nosed ASSHOLE' Danny Daniels is number two, and Don Owens is also name -checked. And the reason? ~ JEALOUSY! Ian rips into AAW’s Daniels big time, claiming that he 'made him.' Ian says he is pleased for Ring of Honor's success but that IWA Mid-South doesn’t get the respect that they deserve.

Retirement talks. Ian can honestly see himself leaving the squared circle as a performer mentioning the longer recovery rates and that he'll be able to book better shows with more time behind the scenes. The future will see more local talent in IWA Mid South than big names. Ian talks about not running Chicago due to having to pay $1,000 for commercials and the never-ending-cycle when funds are low. The two put Chuck Taylor and Drake Younger over as the future of IWA Mid South with Ian giving a first hand account of Drake's recent thumb I mean hand perils and a Peter North comparison.

Ian talks about his fear of the fans not paying to see the TPI tournament and why fans are pissed off at him over Jimmy Rave. Keith asks why Ian is more publicly open now about his business dealings this year? Ian agrees that it is a conscious decision on his part and talks candidly over his problems with J.C. Bailey. 2008 plans ~ Ian plans to host a raffle draw with the winning fan being given a budget with it book their own wrestling show. Ian utters the immortal words of Terrence Funk: 'This ain't ballet,' alluding to whining wrestlers. Ian then discusses Jimmy Jacobs throwing the IWA-MS title in the garbage, and Jimmy coming back to the promotion and how angry this made IWA-MS Jim Fannon (the godfather to his son). When talking about guys working other promotions, Ian doesn’t mind, however Ian says he will always push guys more that are loyal to him over guys that aren't and if you think otherwise then 'you're an idiot.'

Keith asks if Ian watches WWE if he is happy for CM Punk? Ian says he is elated for him and talks about his own goals for the future of the sport and has yet more aggravations. Ian says he hugged Punk at the Candido show and told him to 'go become a millionaire.' Smelly ring gear talk ~ YAY! Ian says the only wrestler he ever booked for himself was Dusty Rhodes. The biggest problems he faces being a promoter is working around other promoters' schedules. Ian then transforms into Ole Anderson stating that everytime a name wrestler leaves he can create another. Ian says he knew Necro Butcher was rejoining ROH for months and wishes the internet would give him some credit. He says that the ROH project is often the same, although it is still spiffing. Ian trashes TNA revealing that the booking gives him a headache!

Deep South feud talk, along with his injured EYE and Freak Show discussion. Then CZW talk. Ian blames John Zandig's ego for the reason the promotional feud wasn't as successful as it could've been, and blames Zandig for a botched scaffold/tables spot. Ian said that Zandig got legitimately upset at some of the CZW fans and tells the listeners to the Dr. keith show why. Talk of the last IWA-MS Philly show and people phoning it in – and what the guys were doing backstage (Philly cheese steak talk)! Ian finishes by plugging this weekends Ted Petty Invitational tournament and several super smashing great IWA Mid South DVD deals at http://www.iwamidsouthwrestling.com

Show #500 - Ian's Retirement - 12/7 in Plainfield

We have talked with the building in Plainfield and worked out a deal with the volleyball players and have switched dates. We will now be having the show on Friday night, December 7th so that fans and wrestlers will not have to choose between the other shows going on on the 8th. We always try to accomodate our fans/wrestlers and this change of the date will make things easier on everyone. We will also make sure that this show will be IWA Mid-South's 500th show in our history. So this is going to be a huge night for us professionally and personally.

Friday Night, December 7th, 2007 - SHOW #500
Capital Sports Center
1915 Gladden Road
Plainfield, IN
8 pm Bell Time - Doors Open at 7 pm
Ticket prices are $30 front row; $25 second row; $20 bleachers

Main Event - Ian Rotten's Retirement Match
Ian Rotten vs. Mickie Knuckles
Ian's career has spanned 17 years and he has traveled the world and wrestled in such companies as ECW, USWA and Global that gave him television exposure and helped build his name. He started IWA Mid-South 11 years ago when he moved to Kentucky after he fell in love with Patti. This will mark the end of an era as he wrestles his final match and who better to face in that match than his final student that graduated the Ian Rotten Wrestling School. Ian and Mickie have had many memorable matches in more than just IWA Mid-South but I don't think anyone will forget the 2003 TPI or the 2006 KOTDM or even the match after that in Streamwood. This one is going to be something to remember even more than those other matches as Ian has promised to bring the house down on his final night inside a wrestling ring. Hopefully everyone will come out and support IWA Mid-South and give Ian a great sendoff into retirement.

Also appearing on this show...
Former WWE/ECW/WCW Superstar - Sandman!!!!

We will be announcing Sandman's opponent for this show soon.

-------------------------------------------------------------

I would like to address a few things that I know is on people's minds, from other boards and things people have talked to me about at other shows.

A lot of people think that we are doing this with an attempt to draw a good crowd and that I will be back wrestling again in no time at all because of things that have occurred in the past. The last time I said that I was done with wrestling, was because of doctors, not of my own free will. This time though, it is of my own free will.
Injuries over the past 17 yrs. are really starting to take there toll on me as I get older. I never want to be one of those guys that is just there, collecting a pay day. I don't want to be one of those guys that other people are saying that I should have retired 5 yrs. ago. I feel like I can accept this and be content with it on my own terms. I truly do love the wrestling business, since the day my father first took me to the Baltimore Civic Center when I was 4 yrs. old.
I also truly take the nickname of the "Undisputed King Of Hardcore" to heart. As many of you know, the word "hardcore" to me means: giving it everything you got every time you're out there. I never want to be to the point that I can't give it everything I got.
I have lived all of my dreams that I ever dreamed of. I have traveled the world, seen things that people have payed thousands of dollars to see, and have been payed to do so. I am content with going out on my own accord.
I will still have IWA to run, and to people that have never done it: to sometimes have to sell tickets, run a show, and get dressed and be prepared to wrestle. You can never imagine how tough this is to do. It is my hope, with cutting out a few of these things, I may be able to better the IWA shows.
Then comes the now almost 2 yr. old. Many of you may not know that I have been wrestling with rotator cup injuries for the better part of this year. I don't want to be the dad that cannot pick up or play with his child. Not to mention, with retirement would come more time to spend with my children on weekends that IWA does not have shows. As it is right now, when IWA doesn't have shows I go somewhere else to wrestle.
My choice for last opponent. A lot of people think I should wrestle Axl, Corp, Pondo, Bull, J.C., or Drake Younger. First of all, for those of you wanting Axl, don't get your hopes up. Axl's demons would be WAY too much for me to handle on what I hope to be a memorable night. Pondo, Corp, Bull, J.C., and Drake, many of you are right. Any one of those guys would be an excellent farewell. But, I chose Mickie because I don't look at her as a woman or a girl. I look at her as a worker. A worker who has dedicated herself to IWA in the fullest terms. From hot dogs, to the gimmick table, to tearing down and putting up the ring with an unquestioned loyalty. Not to mention the fact, she is my last student to go through the school and there is no one that I would rather be in the ring with when I hang up the denim shorts, singlet, and boots for the last time. Mickie has done everything that she possibly could for IWA and I think she deserves this. If you're one of those people that are unhappy with this decision, I suggest you get over it and get your head out of the 70's. Because I promise you, me and her will tear down the house on December 7th. Which will be a happy birthday to James Christopher Williams!
IWA has always been about family which includes many people that have came to the shows on a regular basis and supported us when they couldn't do so many different ways. As much as it saddens me to call it quits, it's also something I am looking forward to. I hope to see everyone December 7th, because believe you me it's gonna be tough to say good bye.

Thanks,
Ian
