Ted Petty Invitational 2013 é cancelado
O grande torneio deste mês de
Setembro o Ted Petty Invitational da IWA-MS foi cancelado. O motivo dado
pelo promotor Ian Rotten é um motivo de saúde onde este está a lutar
contra um cancro no estomago. Eis a publicação deixada por Rotten no
facebook:
"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."
