Welcome to the 5^{th edition of ICWF "Off The Ropes" Report with Peter Hartin. I know we have received a major turnout in visits to the last report and I’ve received questions and comments from people who have read it. I wanted to say that as a fan of professional wrestling I had to voice my opinions on a promotion. The information contained in the last report were all facts. Some of the people who read the report may have felt offended or insulted at the information brought before everyone. I do apologize for those of you who sent me messages and applauded me on certain parts of the report but mentioned one or two things that could’ve been tweaked.}

I’ve entered in the business as a fan that continues to be loyal and help promotions. I’ve made commitments that other teens wouldn’t. I flew close to 600 miles to help with the ICWF knowing that I’d be purchasing the ticket and that I’d be receiving a little compensation. But its all been worth it because of the experiences I get from helping. I get to consider myself part of the show since I help setup for the show and take everything down once its over.

The world of professional wrestling can be sick and twisted because you never know who to believe or trust. It leaves you watching your back and even makes you question yourself about people you’ve known for a while. There are many in this business that have my respect and trust and there are others who have lost some or all of my respect and trust. But there’s no need to name names and single people out, as those aren’t my intentions. My intentions are to tell the truth, give the facts, and provide the fans with top notch reporting.

I want to make it clear that I have nothing but good things to say about my experiences with the ICWF. In October of 2007 I even purchased and designed a plaque, which I presented to them and is hanging up in the ICWF headquarters. I don’t want to confuse people about whether I’m talking about the ICWF or another promotion when I say promotion. So I wanted to make it crystal clear that I’ve had no complaints concerning the ICWF.

What I’m intrigued by is the fact that before the ICWF relocated to Florida the newly crowned ICWF Heavyweight Champion, Valek, predicted that this promotion would eventually have a fallout due to certain factors/people and warned them of this. However, nobody listened to him and went about with their business. Now 6-7 months later, everything that was predicted is now going on at the moment with this promotion.

In the near future look for reports featuring in-depth interviews with your favorite wrestlers, and don’t forget about the staff that help to put on the show as they will also have an equal opportunity to be interviewed. The interview will feature at least 20 questions that could range from their life outside wrestling, their thoughts on their career so far, and what they hope to accomplish. While I’m on the topic of interviews there’s a possibility that at the next show during intermission I’ll be coming around to you, the fans, and asking you questions concerning your favorite wrestlers of the past and present, your thoughts on the ICWF, your thoughts on the show, and much more. I’ll keep you all updated about that. Well, that sums up this edition of ICWF "Off the Ropes" Report with Peter Hartin. Stay on the lookout because you never know what the next topic will be, when it’ll be posted, and what reactions will come from them.
