Should we try and get TNA to pay for Zema's treatment?

[Rysenberg]

This idea will inevitably end up failing, but it's worth a go. I say we try get as many folk as we can from here, and any other wrestling fans you know of, to start tweeting Dixie/Hogan telling them what they need to be doing. I get that the TNA fans here are hardly going to be able to make a massive impact (see what I did there?), but if we explain to non-TNA watchers what's happening then we can get them to join in as well.

As I say, I'm not expecting great things and perhaps I'm being a touch idealistic, but if we could all sort of tweet at them/contact them in some way then we might at least force a response from someone. Because money problems or not it's still disgusting from TNA's part (and IMO, the higher paid wrestler's part).

Anyone think this is at all worthwhile?

He got his apendix out and they found a possibly cancerous tumour that needs removed, TNA wont pay for it.

Zema Ion (former X DIvision champion) needs $30k to have a tumor (not believed to be cancerous at this time IIRC) removed and TNA won't foot the bill

Well that sucks big time. Cant believe it thats harsh.

 

[Shadie T]

You would think they would try and help him because from what ive seen he is pretty awesome in ring. He must be pretty pissed at TNA and worried as fuck, It wouldnt surprise me if he left the company over this.

They are definitely making asses of themselves.

Guys I have a question. How come he doesn't have that money? I am not good at wrestling financials. I don't know even a thing (You can remember from Spike TV and TNA signs 5 year deal).

He isnt working right now so im not sure on his pay with that and I dont think he is being paid enough to afford it.

I think it would be a great idea to try to get the money for Zema Ion. TNA should pay this...

There are guy with better info to answer. But i would assume he makes that just in a year maybe slightly more. But once his house, car, bills, food, travel expenses etc... come off it dont leave a lot of savings puts him maybe waiting 3 years saving 10 a year to have the operation. Suppose that isnt ideal.

Yeah but this guy has been in TNA like two years and I think he could have save that money.

Yeah probably. He is young and he wants to live great. So he didn't save any money just like for these. Can't blame him but wish he had saved some.
Also TNA (I know, DolphsZiggler won't like me shitting on TNA once again) is a huge asshole for not helping this guy.

I hate TNA the company. Just enjoy their product. But they are run by fucking morons.

Also, you are completely overestimating what TNA pays lower card guys like Ion (and yea I know he was X Division champ, but he still rarely appeared when he was). He is paid on a per appearance basis, and I wouldn't even want to speculate on how much that fluctuates between depending on if it were a house show, tv show, ppv, ect. BUt not much.

No way could he be expected to have just saved up 30k. not even close. he is probably just getting by with what he makes, not focused on saving.

I'm up for it, tweeted Dixie before, willing to do it some more until she bans me.
