Zema Ion situation

[lewism173]

As always when TNA do something well, there's people on the internet finding negatives. One of which lately has been the fact they are not paying for Zema Ions medical bills. Basically Zema needs surgery to remove a tumor...you can read about it and donate if you wish here - https://www.giveforward.com/fundrais...paign=Isupport

So basically people are up in arms about it saying TNA should be paying his medical bills and that it's a disgrace and this and that. Basically I want to know do you think TNA should be helping zema out and how much money should they be giving him ?


Also check out my video I give more of my views on the matter aswell as giving my own personal opinion on if TNA should help out financially.

I may not have my facts straight but i think it's because TNA isn't even offering to help alittle. I think people see it as almost like a middle finger to Ion. Like TNA is saying "Oh we don't care about our talent, we'll just replace him" or something along those lines. Also people look at WWE and how they helped alot of their former superstars that needed help like jake roberts, Paul Bearer, Scott Hall and such.

Should TNA pay for everything? Of course not. But they should offer to help. Those medical bills are gonna be huge and Ion isn't exactly a million dollar wrestler.

If you wanna know about how much tna 'cares' about their talent you should read this article about how they treated Daffney. TNA is pretty well know for not giving a shit unless your one of the top tier names.

Honestly, and I'm not bashing TNA for this, but this is damn serious and it's disappointing they are pretty much not helping at all.

I'm so glad to live in England where this wouldn't even be an issue.

I look at it like this if the company you work for does not provide heath insurance you go out and get it on your own.

Wasn't aware of this, bummer for Ion. Would of been a nice gesture for TNA to chip in, but then I assume they'd have to help out anytime something like this happens, a big potential expense and mind you they are nowhere near WWE who someone mentioned helped former talent.

They have no legal obligation to help Ion.

It'd be nice if they did, but to criticize them for it isn't fair.

Big difference between paying for injuries that happened in the ring and paying for cancer treatment.

Not even remotely the same situation.

Yea, Maybe they just CAN'T afford it. Like at all, in any way shape or form.

As someone else stated above, it's not TNA's responsibility to foot the bill as they haven't insured Ion or agreed to do so. With that being said they should help out a little.
