Yeah! **** him for...suffering an accident at work that bankrupted his family and being MAD about it! He should be grateful that he even had the opportunity to suffer a such a devastating injury and have his mom driven to financial ruin so that he could walk again! So deal with it like a human being instead of going out and making money off the situation. Regardless of what happened with the incident TNA kept him employed for over a year afterwards until he was fully healed. If his surgeries were around the 250k mark can TNA be expected to pay that? Honestly, I doubt even WWE is paying 250k for a workers medical bills. TNA did what they could but it's not good enough for this dude (But it was, before they fired him) What Sorensen is doing is trying to ruin the company that gave him his shot financially and publically. I hope TNA sues him for defaming them to be honest. Wow, you are incredibly spiteful towards a man who has been bankrupted and left unemployed by a company that tried to use his injury for positive PR when it happened. Now you hope he'll be sued for... What? His clothes? His house? Whatever's left to keep him off the streets, because TNA's so strapped for cash that they'd have to take those things from him?

One name to go against the "WWE helps everybody" claim, Charles Austin. For those unaware he had his neck broken by Marty Jannetty and had to go to court to get compensation. I think early 90's WWF is a better comparison to current TNA then late 90's WWF who was rolling in money. Early 90's wasn't backed by a billion dollar company, like current TNA is. The Carters aren't exactly poor. When it's a "TNA is dying" thread, hell naw TNA is rolling in money they're backed by multi-billion dollar Panda Energy. When it's a "TNA needs to pay medical bills" thread, but but but they're not that big they don't make that much money! How could they possible afford it!?

To be fair, there are a few who will take any chance to paint TNA in a negative light as well.

One name to go against that WWE claim, Droz. Hell you know Edge's bills totaled up big time. One name to go against the "WWE helps everybody" claim, Charles Austin. For those unaware he had his neck broken by Marty Jannetty and had to go to court to get compensation. I think early 90's WWF is a better comparison to current TNA then late 90's WWF who was rolling in money. That was then, this is now. It's pretty well documented that WWE makes arrangements or pays for medical bills now. JBL in particular mentioned how he was personally exasperated by the amount of tests they had him go through while he was an employee, and the fact that WWE has open rehab offers to employees and former employees should show that they they're willing to help. Sorensen is absolutely within his rights to at least seek legal counsel. And this tirade you go into against anyone in the business who says or does anything that isn't positive about TNA is ridiculous.

I don't want seem negative, so remove TNA and wrestling from it. I am on the job, I am injured on the job and can no longer work. Yes, I may have to pay up front to have medical care, but workman's comp does apply here. The company I work for, even when I worked as an independent contractor, can't say "oh, well, you were on the clock so we won't fire you, but you're going to need to take care of the medical bills out of pocket and the compensation claims aren't going to be approved".
THAT is where a lawsuit comes in. Sorensen may have had to pay for his medical bills up front, which means his mom having her insurance help him out is perfectly legal. However, to say that by virtue of him not being fired immediately upon his injury, the company that employed him has zero liability is an out and out falsehood.
Yes he was still employed by TNA after he was hurt, and he can still be "down-sized" just like any other employee. Having a workman's comp claim in and of itself does not give him a bulletproof vest when it comes to layoffs. Now if a verbal agreement has some backing, such as eye witnesses or any documentation, that says he was promised "a job for life"...he has a case, because verbal contracts have been recognized by the courts.
However, looking strictly at the injury standpoint. He can be fired even though he was hurt on the job, as the two are not directly connected. IF TNA had let him go the day after the injury or something, then he would have an absolute case, and I doubt anyone would disagree. As to the finances, he may need a lawyer to help with the workman's comp claims. They can't be denied given that I'm pretty sure it occurred on tape. It won't get him his job back, unless he can prove that his release was directly related to complaints regarding the compensation.

Michael Cole claimed on JBL's radio show that WWE paid for his wife's kidney transplant. It was close to a million dollars. And that was someone who didn't even work for them.

Yeah this has jumped well past the line of good taste. We're done here.
