After saying in the past that she'd never join Twitter, Velvet Sky joined today (@velvelholler) to get the word out about Helms' condition and try to get contributions for his bills since he'll be unable to work for the foreseeable future.
This is kinda surprising considering that they're exes and it's been speculated that she's the reason why he was not brought into TNA following his WWE release.
Not a lot of people would go that extra mile for an ex. So good for her

More than once I'd imagine...they dated for a few years. Really hope he gets better soon same for his significant other. He seems like an angry young man and I hope he doesn't end up the route of his buddy Jeff. |

He's only angry cause there's so many villains in this world, and his Hurri-Powers are tired of fighting the good fight everyday ;D Seriously, hope that he gets better and that he has enough money to tide him over. |

Good on her and I hope the best for Helms.
It's very cliche, but also very true that in the grand scheme of things, even the most serious heat and disagreements between people aren't all that important.
Get well, Hurricane.

Loads of respect to Velvet for setting the past aside to help out Helms.

Very cool of her, and I hope Helms is able to continue to work after he heals up.

What's up with Helms, exactly? Him and his girlfriend were in a motorcycle accident. Not sure how his gf fared, but Helms landed with some broken bones. |

I read from Wrestlezone that his girlfriend is much worse for wear, but there is a possibility that both could recover. He has a few broken bones while his girlfriend had sustained injuries that could have an effect on her spine, for a lack of better words.

I seriously doubt Helms is 'angry.' He said a few bad things towards Michaels and because he's friends with The Hardys, he got this terrible reputation because of it. I watch his H2H podcast type show every week and he's always very down-to-earth and laid back.
Anyways, yes, they were in a motorcycle accident. Marty Garner (Cham-Pain) who is a friend of their's said they had to be air-lifted and Karen (Shane's GF) broke her neck. In the pictures Shane posted though, he looks far worse off. His face is badly banged up. I know he broke his leg and ankle and he had to have over 200 stitches in his face.
Also - I too gained a lot of respect for Vel. Very classy of her to do this.

Everything I've heard about they're relationship makes it sound like they actually parted on very friendly terms-the breakup was a mutual decision, and it was mainly because Helms had been called back to WWE's active roster and had to be on the road again and they just decided they could not handle a long distance relationship. Good for Vel to care enough about a friend to make such a gesture.

Velvet never was my favorite Knockout, but that's really sweet of her.

It is a really good gesture on Velvet's part. I read that. If it turns out to be true that Helms were DUI then Velvet is going to have to refund the donations she has received. I don't blame Velvet for trying to do a good thing to help them though. |

Makes you wonder what the heck Helms did with all that WCW/WWE money if he can't afford bills.

Makes you wonder what the heck Helms did with all that WCW/WWE money if he can't afford bills. I was actually going to mention that. The guy did work for WCW and WWE for like 11 years and made some good money. So shouldn't he be able to pay for his own medical bills? He's probably more well off than Velvet and Sabin are. |
