Zema had the audacity to need money to pay for sudden sickness. Next time, plan out your illness. Welcome to the US's shitty healthcare system, but let's just go ahead and blame TNA for it.

If they are seriously blaming this dude for asking for money he needs to pay medical costs, f*** em'. That's so scummy that they deserve every bit of bad press they get from it. I understand that TNA simply can't afford to pay for their workers' care nor are they obligated to due to the "Independent Contractor" deal but to actually blame him because it made them look "bush league" crosses the line of human decency. That's the point where you need to look in the mirror and question what kind of human being you are.

TNA could had toss some pocket change towards Zema's way to help pay for some of his medical costs. They are not obligated to pay for his hospital stay but at least make an effort to show that at least appreciate him. TNA decided to act like Ion didn't exist and got pissed that he asked for help to pay for his bills. Just like how WWE got major flack for firing a pregnant Dawn Marie or Test right after he had neck surgery, TNA deserves what they get.

Didn't have the money lying around to pay for one of their workers medical bills for injuries suffered on their watch. But they blew $500,000 per failed taping throughout 2013. They paid Hogan $30,000 per appearance. In theory, Hulk Hogan appearing on Impact was more important to the brass at TNA than Zema Ion's health.

Jonny Fairplay openly admitted he got $300,000 for 40 minutes' work from TNA.
I like to bring up that example any time anything says TNA can't afford to pay for injuries or offer decent wages.

Zema had the audacity to need money to pay for sudden sickness. Next time, plan out your illness. Rainy Day Fund Definitions Rainy day fund, rainy day reserve, or emergency fund are terms used to describe a reserved amount of money to be used in times when regular income is disrupted or decreased in order for typical operations to continue. Australia sounds like an amazing country where money isn't a problem. Because that sure as hell isn't America.

They could've done a few shows without Hogan cutting a pilled-up/drunken brother-laden promo to start and end the show, and taken care of Zema's bills just like that. Really puts things in perspective.

I feel like we have the rainy day fund discussion with the same couple of people constantly. One day they'll understand.

Spike TV. Thank you and come again. Whether they should chip in or not to help pay for the care of a worker who got injured on their watch is one thing. You can debate that, whether they're misusing the independent contractor label to avoid worker's comp, the ills of the health care system in general (although that's not really that relevant) and so forth all day. They fact that they complained to him about their image when he needed to try to get help to get money for catastrophic health care is a different matter entirely. If they're not going to help cover the costs, they really have no ground to complain because a guy in his early 20's doesn't have 100K tucked away like some posters seem to think is feasible.

Let's just assume that Ion went to TNA and said "I have this problem, I can't afford it, please help me". Knowing the Daffney, Konnan, and Sorenson situations, would you, as a TNA contractor, feel comfortable approaching them and asking for help? Also, very true that most in their early 20's won't have that kind of money saved. Hell, I'm in my mid 30's and I don't have even 1/5 of that in savings. Considering that TNA's employees pay their own room, board, and airfare to the shows, where would the savings come from?

One show without Hogan hogging the spotlight and the fundraiser wouldn't have been necessary.

I was assuming his overall expenses were more than $30k and that was just what he was asking for to cover part of them. But, you are right. One show.
