• Old School ECW Veteran Celebrates His Birthday

Old School ECW Veteran Ian Rotten (Real name: John Williams) celebrates his 50th birthday today.

He made a name for himself, teaming with his kayfabe/storyline brother Axl Rotten as a Tag Team called “The Bad Breed”.

They first teamed up for the Dallas, Texas based “Global Wrestling Federation” promotion during the early 90s, before they moved on to Extreme Championship Wrestling, were they eventually broke up in 1995 and had quite a few memorable matches against each other.

In 1996, Ian Rotten founded his own Indy promotion “IWA Mid-South”, which is still around to this day and he’s still the promoter.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY IAN ROTTEN!
