Former ECW Star Ian Rotten, real name John Williams, recently stated that he was diagnosed with stomach cancer and began chemotherapy treatment last week. Rotten, who had a brief run with the company between ’94-’95, said he is in the early stages of cancer and that his chemotherapy is supposed to last six weeks.

Rotten runs IWA Mid South and has canceled a couple of his upcoming events, but hopes to be back and running events by December. On behalf of everyone here at Wrestling-News.Net, we wish John Williams a speedy and healthy recovery.
