The nature of the hit he took that caused his injury might have been so extreme that he'd be fine as long as he doesn't sustain another hit like that. But tissue is always more susceptible to injury after it was already injured than it was before, it's just a matter of how much risk they're willing to put up with.

Preview. He does confirm the story that he was promised a job for life.

Sorenson should really contemplate how lucky he is to even be walking and living a normal life. That's way more important than continuing a wrestling career, especially when you have to figure that the odds are that the E or TNA isn't going to have any interest in him.

I can understand guys like Angle or Austin taking the risk and coming back, there's millions of dollars at stake. But Sorensen, who's neck is worse than theirs were, will make, what? $300 or $400 a match? If that? Why bother?

He doesn't deny nor confirm the claim that he was promised a job for life to be honest. The "host" says it and goes into a question very quickly so Sorensen doesn't have a chance to confirm or deny.

Maybe you can ask him on Twitter to explain his answer?

As bad as their necks were, they did not spend a night in hospital with everyone around them sure they were going to die that night, which is what happened with Sorensen. Obviously I don't have the guy's records, but his initial injury was obviously far worse than what either of them went through.

Obviously I don't have the guy's records, but his initial injury was obviously far worse than what either of them went through. And they were wrong, that happens sometimes. People misjudge injuries, and the fact that his recovery was far and away better than people thought indicates that the initial injury wasn't as bad as they thought. We're not in a better position than anyone else (except for Kurt Angle, probably) to say how bad his injury really was or how healed he is now.

Maybe but that fact that TNA, who have let everyone from a stoned Jeff Hardy to Hulk Hogan wrestle for crying out loud, refused to clear him is a pretty good indication of how bad his neck still is.

Maybe, they could also have been overly cautious about it and worried about re-injury, or he could have only gotten the clean bill of health after he was released. He may be rushing it, I can't say one way or another, but regardless, sitting in front of a computer screen isn't the best place to be given a medical diagnosis based on what someone says on their Twitter.

Honestly, Red Impact, do you really think his neck is 100% and at no risk of all of being re-injured?
I simply can't imagine any decent doctor telling him that (just the potential malpractice lawsuits alone would be enough not to say that). It sounds like Sorensen is telling indie promoters what they want to hear.
If something sounds too good to be true it usually is.

Honestly based on the whole fact that the ONLY reason Zema Ion was given the X Division title was to feud with Sorrenson got back, it tells me that his neck is still in pretty rough shape.
Now he COULD absolutely be medically cleared, or he could have gone to a couple doctors until he got cleared

It sounds like Sorensen is telling indie promoters what they want to hear. If something sounds too good to be true it usually is. Honestly, do you have much experience in the medical field? I'm not trying to be snarky, I really want to know, because you say things particularly related to it (the physical therapy comment, now malpractice) and I'm trying to figure out if you have experience that you're basing these comments on. There's always going to be a risk of re-injury, that's just the nature of any injury, and particularly the nature of the industry he's in. He was injured in a move gone wrong, that applies to everyone who steps foot in a ring at any given time. The reason I gasp every time someone does a suicide dive is how incredibly dangerous I think the move is if it happens to go wrong, but as of yet, I've never seen it go wrong. Sorenson could go an entire career without injuring himself again. He could break his neck on a botched DDT in his next match and die in the ring. That's just how the industry is. The question isn't "Will it never get injured again?" That'd be a silly question, you can't answer that because that relies on on the possibility of there never being a botch, which no one can guarantee. It's "Is it healthy enough to take bumps again?" To that, I say it probably is. We're past the timetable for bone, muscle, and the related tissue to heal, and he doesn't show any signs of brain damage. While I'd be wary of anyone who had a serious injury, we are past the timetable that was originally given for him healing his injury. It's not "too good to be true" for someone to take a long time to heal an injury, and Sorenson has been out healing for a long time. If I were TNA, I'd be wary of him too, but that may not be for any medical reason as much as it would be for personal reasons. It's always a possibility that the guy is lying through his teeth or just went from doctor to doctor until one of them told him hat he wanted to hear, but I'm not him and can't really make those claims. What I can do is say that he's been out a rather long time, and it makes sense for his injuries to have healed to an acceptable level given how long he's been out.

I have a question, for anyone who has seen his shoot:
Is it true that Jesse said his mom literally bankrupted herself paying for his injury? I've heard that claimed, but I haven't seen it yet.

Yeah, so, apparently Mike Johnson already confirmed this on his audio show.

I'm too lazy to check the timeline, cenamark, but which one of those did you post first ? These last two posts, or the wrestlingforum thread that has been quickly locked before anybody else answered ? Just curious.

Don't shoot the messenger, bro. I'll gladly take it back and apologize if this story turns out to be false, but all indications are it's true.

TNA: Oh you have a broken neck on our show? We aren't paying the bills. Maybe your mom can help you out.
Gotta love TNA having no shame making a wrestler have to go to his parents for financial help.
