LucharesuFan619 Posted March 27, 2006 Report Posted March 27, 2006 From DOI To keep everyone up-to-date on J-Money's (Real name: John Groll) condition, J-Money is currently in a Long Island hospital, in an Intensive Care Unit. J-Money underwent surgery Saturday night to alleviate pressure on his neck and spine, after landing on his head during a german suplex. Despite the surgery, J-Money is completely paralyzed from the waist down, and has minimal strength in his arms. The doctors have told J-Money's family that they don't want to promote false hope, and that there is a good chance that the paralysis won't go away, meaning that most likely, J-Money will be paralyzed from the waist down, for the rest of his life. Fortunately, J-Money does not have a broken neck, and is conscious. Referee Keith Rosenblum has visited J-Money to lend support on behalf of UXW. Special thanks to Referee Pat Savino for assisting with this story. The DOI will keep you updated on J-Money's health, as we hope for the best for this young man. The guy was a ticketseller with minimal training.
Hawk 34 Posted March 27, 2006 Report Posted March 27, 2006 That's quality indy wrestling for you, kids with little training taking germans.
Hawk 34 Posted March 28, 2006 Report Posted March 28, 2006 Considering it was for UXW, you probably just needed a drivers license and entry fee to work that show. Training or no training.
daileyxplanet Posted April 6, 2006 Report Posted April 6, 2006 Only one person visited the kid? Didn't indy promoters learn anything from Mass Transit?
Eclipse Posted April 9, 2006 Report Posted April 9, 2006 It's what happens when ticket sellers, who are mostly untrained, get into the ring. They don't learn real ring psychology, and even the basics. I work at this wrestling school, and I notice the backyarders/ticket sellers training. One day, this guy who was there teaching them stuff, was RIPPING them apart. Most of them didn't know how to run ropes, couldn't remember spots, didn't know how to bump for certain moves, etc. When the guy left, they were just practicing moves with big bumps, like suplexes, neck bumps, and even pulled out a crash pad to just do aerial moves///
Paul Stanley Posted April 9, 2006 Report Posted April 9, 2006 Happens all the god damn time, 2 months of training and then they work, promoters like it cause they work cheap, $10 a pop.
