Zema Ion Update

[Crayo]

The fundraising campaign to help with the medical bills for TNA star Zema Ion following an emergency appendectomy failed to raise the needed $30,000 the campaign was hoping to raise.

The campaign raised $6,648 in the end. Ion will still need another surgery to remove a growth on his bladder that was found during the initial surgery.
TNA has yet to (at least publicly) provide any sort of financial assistance for Ion's medical bills.

There's no enough facepalm smileys/gifs/pics to make this moment of a very justified anger in my body right. Fucking cunts.

 

[Lacky]

What medical assistance do TNA actually offer?

They offer shit, it seems.

Yeah, what will happen if he can't raise the money? No surgery? How long will this keep him out?

Tumors are very unpredictable, who the hell knows. He could be out for months, or could simply die (God forbid) if it gets cancerous. It's rather stupid that we're even discussing the potential terrible outcomes of this. All over a fuckin 30k.

Dick and stupid move by TNA. This would look great and is just the right thing to do.

 

[Stopspot]

What Test said, it all depends on the tumor. It could just be a dead/non cancerous tumor which he could basically go on with until he croaks of natural/unnatural causes. But it could just as well be cancerous and he could die by it.

Are TNA really gonna let one of their talents suffer like this?? I know they don't have to, but it's fucking cold to leave one of your FRESH YOUNG talents in the water. Doing this would actually help them, it would make their image look very good, and it would probally get their loyalty from Ion. But no, lets waste the money on other shit, and not help out your own YOUNG and FRESH talent. It's wrestlers like Zema that will be in the future of TNA, maybe not in the main event, but he'll still be there due to being there in a early age. I know that TNA doesn't have to help at all, but if Zema dies, what exactly will be the image for TNA? I know that people won't care about the argument of "oh we didn't have to help". They're gonna be a lot of finger pointing at TNA, and it will hurt them badly.

Makes you feel sick when Hogan gets more than 30k a fucking appearance, apparently. Absolutely sickening. TNA would get such good PR out of this.

 

[Snowman1]

I get it. If I worked at the supermarket that didn't offer insurance they wouldn't help me. Would say this is no different but said supermarket doesn't get national exposure or would deal with PR because of a nobody like me.

Many of TNA's fans know what's going on, right? Well the first thing that pops in my mind is what Crayo said.

 

[Rysenberg]

What a bunch of wankers. TNA has gone down a tonne in my estimation for this. WWE would have paid up if this was one of their guys - probably not for the 'right' reasons, but they would have done it nonetheless. Fuck you TNA.

 

[Ovaldinho]

Once again I commend Murrica for its astounding healthcare system!!!

:dafuq: ------> :

 

[CM Punk]

I'd assume they would give him a pay cut at least when he returns and fund for him now. But damn, this is fucked.
Fuck this.

 

[Testify]

Good to see all the support here for Zema and a justified anger for TNA paycheck writers.

Now, excuse me, I'm going to social media to rant to Dixie about this shit because I know she reads people's tweets on her account. But I'll be polite, maybe she answers (she did once last year).
