From Highspots.com
Former TNA star Jesse Sorensen said during a recent interview that the company stuck his mother with his medical bills after he sustained a severe neck injury wrestling for the company in 2012.
Sorensen told HighSpots.com that TNA wouldn't pay for his medical bills and instead had his mother cover the expenses with her own insurance. She inevitably went bankrupt trying to pay the extras, premiums and other costs associated with his bills.
Bob Ryder, TNA director of talent booking and travel, was the one who called Sorensen to let him know he was being released, he said. Sorensen indicated Ryder told him the decision was coming from the higher-ups such as TNA President Dixie Carter and TNA Chief Financial Officer Dean Broadhead. He said his contract had yet to expire.

Either he's exaggerating/leaving out some info, or TNA gives no f***s about human decency. If a man is injured wrestlng for your company, you pay his medical bills. There is no way that shouldn't be the case.
Of course, how many times have we had this discussion about TNA?

I thought I read somewhere that TNA did pay his bills.

Meltzer talked about this in the observer. He was pretty furious about it.
It's not the first time TNA have ducked out of paying bills of course, But, in TNA, there was the general belief that due to the seriousness of the injury, TNA would be paying for everything. So this is pretty bad.

If this is true, TNA needs grow up or someone is going to sue them until they go bankrupt

But why would he say something that could be easily disputed if there weren't some truth to it? What has been reported: TNA flew in his mom (nice gesture but probably didn't cost much) Gave him a production job for a while (again, nice gesture, but doubtful he was making a ton of cash) TNA "helped out" financially from time to time. Of course, the problem with "helped out" is that it is very vague and if his mom is financial ruin, they obviously didn't help out nearly enough. And anyone calling BS on Sorensen's story needs to remember Daffney, Jesse Neal and Konnan all had similar complaints. All these people are not lying. TNA just don't like paying medical bills. |

From what I can gather, TNA doesn't like paying for anything. |

Daffney's claims were more the fault of Terry Taylor actually forcing someone for a dangerous bump and going back on a work, and was the reason he got released after, Konnan's were provably bulls***. Neal, I'll give you. The thing is, if it was this big financial ruin that occured, why did it happen now and not when Sorensen was in the hospital or at rehab? I mean, he is fine now, if he's taking bookings and doing interviews and such. As mentioned, he was released from there for a while and was working with TNA for months, and no where in that time did any of this come up, and you'd think it would have if it was this big event to him. My father had to have a stay in the hospital, and the hospital did not wait months to give him the bill after he left and got better. |

Seeing as he was working for TNA until recently, he wouldn't exactly volunteer the information, knowing it would undoubtedly get him in hot water. |

Why would he all of a sudden come out when he can't physically work anywhere else and trash talk TNA, even if they weren't paying his bills? Then he could not have his bills payed AND lose his job |

Why would he all of a sudden come out when he can't physically work anywhere else and trash talk TNA, even if they weren't paying his bills? Then he could not have his bills payed AND lose his job Bulls***, cause there have been plenty of cases were we have had TNA people complain about stuff like money, bookings, and injury issues, while under contract to TNA. Sabin, AJ, ODB, Madison, and a few others. Many people here have even mentioned it, but I guess it's not valid when it works against your argument. And the thing is, if I do pretend that this is completely, 100% accurately true, why would he desire to leave the job he had before he was released, working backstage, to get back in the ring, with noticeably lower pay and more danger to getting injured and getting in more issues? This isn't a question of desire or dream, it would be about getting money to get out of this hole that you are in, so why make it worse by seeking a job with less reward and more risk for yourself? |
