From Ian's facebook page:
"Some of you may have seen that guys are saying that they are now open next weekend, and I have waited this long in an attempt to get ahold of everyone that was booked on the show so the boys would find out from me rather than social media. Many of you may have noticed the lack of updates the past couple weeks. I have been battling pancreatitis and my uncontrolled diabetes.
I was hospitalized on Friday, August 30th, and through the processes of treating pancreatitis and running other tests on me, I was diagnosed today with gastric stomach cancer. I will be undergoing chemotherapy on Wednesday, twice a week for the next six weeks in an effort to get rid of this which is being diagnosed and told to me as in a very early stage.
I'm not asking for anybodies sympathy, I'm not asking for anybodies money. If you have bought tickets to either the September or October show, your money will be returned to you within the next two weeks. I do ask if you believe in our Lord almighty that you say a prayer for me...and if you don't, any good vibes will definitely be appreciated too. I realize in this day and age to some people this may even be good news. To those people I hope that this terrible disease never strikes your family.
To the people I was unable to get a hold of, and you're finding out this way, I apologize, but our fans deserve to know and with guys saying they were open next weekend and stuff it was time to give them an answer. Know that I am not writing a bucket list, and that I am planning for the future. To the boys that I spoke to today, thank you so much for your overwhelming support. I cannot tell you how much your words of encouragement and love have meant to me getting through this beyond harsh day. My hopes are in 7 weeks I am given a clean bill of health and to begin preparing a great show for the first weekend in December. Thanks to all for understanding, and I hope you have a blessed day."

I am getting hung up on his claim of "uncontrolled diabetes". How can you do this and still be a pro-wrestler??? Or is Rotten not active? |

Actually, the doctor was a wrestling fan... and what he actually said that Ian IS a cancer.

Okay guys, before this turns into a bloodbath - I have no love at all for Ian Rotten, but let's remember to keep a little tact here.

Cancer is much worse than Ian Rotten, so hopefully the shady mofo beats it.

I'm very skeptical about this. One hand, I want to be believe this true but then I remember all of the times he lied about serious things.

This is just a case of the boy who cried wolf. Ian may be really sick but then again he could be lying and it hard to judge

He's a despicable human being but I hope he beats this, for his family's sake.

So, who here actually believes him this time?
If he's being serious, I wish him all the best, of course.

As others have said I'm not sure whether to believe, but I'm giving the benefit of the doubt as being a feeble diabetic (I'm type 1 with some kidney junk so yeah, I know how bad it can be) along with cancer is just undeniably bad.
I don't wish death or suffering on anyone, so I hope he's not lying about it, and that he beats it.

Assuming that he's not lying about this, I hope he's able to beat this.

I'd much rather take stuff like this at face value and end up looking naive, than the other way around.
I hope he beats it.

If any other wrestler said that the thread title would read "Wrestler has cancer" but because it's Ian it says "claims to have cancer" ouch

That's exactly what it is. Even a shitty person doesn't deserve scorn and deserves some sympathy... but the thing is, Ian Rotten has been such a lying scumbag for years. The mere fact that we have to question if it's true or not speaks volumes. Of course nobody REALLY wants him to have cancer, but at the same time.... none of us have any proof he does. His word is meaningless, his morals are non-existent, and it sounds more like Ian trying another avenue to get interest into his failed experiments rather than a man reaching out in a time of medical need.
