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

Never said you were an idiot brother, just ignorant to TNA's pay scale. I'm fairly ignorant to it as well, but I know the 'no name' guys are barely getting by.

As for a company that didn't provide health insurance paying for it? Well, probably not, but the only other profession I can compare to a pro wrestler would be a pro athlete, and you know if an NFL or NBA player had this problem they would get it taken care of lickity split.

Your right they probably would, can include WWE in that. TNA showing themselves up.

Pay of TNA undercarders isn't that low, Dolph's. Everyone gets their plane ticket (and hotel if in the UK) payed by the company, and probably make between 500-1500$ per one appearance (you get bigger paycheck if you wrestle, lesser paycheck if you aren't wrestling as far as I know). Just wanted to get that clarified, as Aries (the bigger player) gets around 300k a year (not this year though LOL), then someone like Zema must be getting half of that price IMO.

Yeah I maybe over-calculated the number of his matches last year. According to cagematch site, Zema had 65 matches last year overall + lets say 4-5 "casual" appearances where he wasn't wrestling. 70 x (lets say estimated) 800$ makes it 56000$ in 2012.

My point still stands though. Undercarders don't get much, but I don't feel they should complain as well.

Anyway, going to twitter to rant to Cuntxie.

Do you make the same wrestling a house show as you do a TV match? Or the same for a TV match as a PPV match? I have no idea but it makes sense to me that it would depend on the event for how much you got paid.

No. That's a fact because when Steiner's TNA numbers were reported on PWInsider, he got 2.5k per TV match, 3 per PPV, and believe 2k for live event. Don't know EXACTLY, but something around those numbers and in that way.

Hence why I took roughly 800$ to (somewhat) try to figure how much he earned in 2012.
