If WWE is fitting the bill, why should TNA intervene?

 

[jimboystar24]

It's not just Scott Hall. They offer for everyone.

It's a necessary PR move in my opinion.

TNA doesn't have any money. Their wrestlers get like $500 per match.

Why would they pay for Scott Hall's rehab anyway? Did they cause him to be an alcoholic? He is responsible for his actions,

 

[stjimmy1991]

My thoughts?

Its a lovely gesture from the company, and a damn sight more than what TNA does. At the very least it shows dedication to Hall, having worked with them in the 90's.

 

[reDREDD]

Respectable of them. Last thing this industry needs is more death.

This has nothing to do with scott hall or anyother wrestler. WWE is a business and has to do what it can to keep a good image especially when so many negatives come from past performers dieing due to druge so this is a public way for WWE to show its doing its bit to help.

You cant slam TNA either. WWE or TNA doesnt tell wrestlers to become alcholics or to take cocaine etc!! Now I have met Scott Hall and he is a very polite and great man so this is noway a slate at him.

 

[NoGimmicksNeeded]

Whether there are ulterior motives for publicity and looking good, I don't really care. If paying for rehab and the enforcement of the Wellness Policy save ONE life, then it's been worth every cent and the company fully deserves all the plaudits in the world.

WWE started paying for former tallents rehab ages ago. They payed for Goldusts and Jake the Snake's too, along with some others' too.

It would be a great gesture if it was meant well. WWE are trying to cover their tracks, in the past 10 years there's been way too many deaths and dark moments surrounding the business. WWE are trying to do what they can to give themselves a scapegoat for when the blame gets pointed at them.

I heard apparently though, Nash (while at TNA about 6 months ago) personally rang HHH and asked for help for Scott Hall, and then within the week Scott was in rehab.
I always do feel bad for Scott, he's one of those talents that traded a lucrative career for the drugs and alcohol, he very easily could've been WWF or wCw champion once at the very least.

He was well on track before he jumped, he was pretty much the hottest thing WWE had going at the time

It doesnt matter who is paying the bill. It's helping a person get healthy. So who cares. Let him get better.

I guess I worded it poorly. I really meant your thoughts on TNA not paying for it.

 

[reDREDD]

Why would TNA pay for it?

 

[Chris_Walmer]

Why would TNA pay for it?

Because he had just recently worked for them. If WWE is willing to pay for it when he hadn't worked there in 8 years or whatever, why can't TNA pay for wrestlers that recently worked there? It's deplorable to me.

In fairness to TNA its not their fault Hall is in the state he is in, no offence to the guy.My current employers certaintly wouldn't pay for rehab if I needed it let alone my previous employers would yours?

 

[Burkarl]

Hate or Love WWE, but its great that they offer treatment to former/current wrestlers.

TNA dont have the funds to do it. I think....

If I work for a bank and get a gambling problem the bank doesnt go I will help you out!! Its the same thing.

WWE and TNA shouldnt have to sort out wrestlers issues. WWE does because they are a big organisation that gets the blame for negatives in wrestling.

Maybe the fans should be forced to pay as it is for the buck that the wrestlers get from entertaining the fans that they take the falls and head shots that cause the purscription pills addictions.

TNA/WWE dont tell wrestlers to party, take cocaine and drink. they choose to live that life style.

I think it's very cool and I hope the guy gets well.
