SLKerAaron Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Old habits die hard, huh? The story here is Jeff got stiffed on his pay which lead to him and Karen going off on Ian. Now Ian claims that he's going to have a warrant sworn out for his arrest. How is this guy still running shows and why would anyone work for him?

OSJ Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Because Ian is hardcorz and the only promoter with the guts to book the White Lion? He's also developed some great talents like, uh, well like, uh... Oh yeah! Like Mickie Knuckles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.H. Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 I read this wrong. I thought it wa Shocker and Ian Rotten didn't pay Jeff Jarrett. I immediately began wondering what bizarro promotion this had to be James 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Z Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Why the hell did Jeff Jarrett take the booking in the first place? A huge database with over 400 wrestlers doesn't pay for itself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 If Ian Rotten's name was in their database - then they probably need to be a touch more selective 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Here's Ian's claim: Jeff Jarrett was paid half of his money tonight and was told he would get the rest of it in 2 or 3 days as through one way or another, or just plain stupidity, we forgot to get the advance money out of PayPal. I know it sounds incredibly stupid, but it occurred. Am I embarrassed about it? Yes, but a very intoxicated Jeff Jarretts actions to follow would be absolutely ridiculous and uncalled for. INCLUDING knocking the glasses off of John Calvins face, taking said glasses, and for a time period threatening to not give them back and break them. Screaming at numerous people in the dressing room that it was their fault, they were behind it like some paranoid coked out raging idiot. Not saying he WAS coked out, but I will say he was drunk, him and Karen both and I have a locker room full of people that will back me up on it.Jeff Jarrett will get his money in a couple days as promised, then he can spend it on a defense attorney as I will be going to the sheriffs department to swear a warrant out on him tomorrow for assault on a minor. This was not some wrestling angle or anything of that nature, and he had no right to take it out on anyone else but me. Don't get me wrong, I was wrong. We should have had that taken care of, but Jeffs actions after that along with Karen insisting on going out to the ring to interrupt Drakes speech was absolutely despicable. That is the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. I love how Ian has no real reason that he FORGOT to get the money to pay him. Way to go.

LooseCannon Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Can Jarrett invite him to work out his debt by appearing for free in Global Force then have someone stiff the hell out of him? Who'd like to see Scott Steiner take liberties with Ian Rotten? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoOnAndWalkItOut Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 I have peoples who are in the local scene, a few of them have been friends of mine since we were in middle school together. It doesn't appear to be a work. I guess it's still possible they weren't smartened up to it, but I don't believe that to be the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nate Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Shame Ian all ready worked the "I GOTZ CANCER J\K CURRED!!" angle because, goddamn, he coulda worked it in that double-J double-M A was bullying a cancer patient; bullying a cancer SURVIVOR doesn't quite have the same impact*. I mean, you faced down cancer but you're intimidated by el Hijo del Jerry Fucking Jarrett**??!?! *HAW! ** TM Southernfried Wrestling News R.I.P.

GoOnAndWalkItOut Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 It's absolutely for sure a shoot. I just spoke to someone (a wrestler) who heard it from a good friend working/in the locker room last night. He also said that the guy didn't mention Jarrett and Karen being drunk nor the whole John Calvin's glasses thing. That doesn't mean that it didn't happen obviously...I hate to be vague and not name names here, but I hope you all understand that it would make things very hard on this guy if his name is put out there.EDIT: This fellow and I go way, way back. I've known and been very good friends with the guy since I was like 14, he wouldn't kayfabe me on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stay Gold Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 I don't think people were seriously considering this to be some type of work. Trying to launch a new company while being accused of assaulting a minor doesn't really seem like an angle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This board isn't what it once was in regards to the intelligence of posters, and people love to holler work about anything. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaptain Kayfabe Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 You know what would be an awesome job? PR Specialist for IWA Mid-South. Talk about a full time gig... I love how Ian has to go the "coked out" route. Instead of just taking the high road (haha, I said "high") by saying something like "There was a misunderstanding with Mr. Jarrett, we hope to have the issue resolved within the next 72 hours" he had to do this nonsense. And if this was the first time something like that happened, maybe people would believe Ian. But this happens ALL THE TIME. For the better part of the last 15 years!
