I just assumed the wrestlers insurance was thru the wwe BY NOW! damn. man vince is cold. (nothing we didn’t all know all along tho huh?)
They’re all independent contractors liable for their own health costs. Cuban-descended Konnan (lately of TNA) actually begged his fans for funds when he needed a kidney transplant. They came through for him but he was so ticked with TNA’s lack of help that he ditched that high-paying gig for a far less lucrative stint with a Mexican federation. Vince is just the example the rest of the industry is following.
Consider that Scrooge had Marley’s Ghost (plus the Holiday’s) to contend with. Vince McMahon has the ghost of nearly every wrestler who’s died since 1990. Brian Pillman, Big Boss Man, Owen Hart, Rick Rude, Bam Bam Bigelow, Curt Hennig, Eddie Guerrero, Sherri Martel and a legion of others who didn’t attain that level of popularity must weigh heavily upon his remnant of a soul. I wouldn’t accept his fortune and fame for that onus. It’s not worth it.
