TNA X-Division wrestler Jesse Sorensen was badly injured at the Against All Odds pay-per-view this past Sun., Feb. 12, 2012, at the Impact Zone in Orlando, Florida, when he took a knee to the head.
It resulted in a broken neck and the loss of feeling in his entire body.
He subsequently went to the hospital and it was reported that he had regained feeling in his arms but he was unable to move his legs and could only feel a tingling sensation. Now, Kurt Angle is reporting on his Twitter account that he visited Sorenesen in the hospital and his condition has improved:
"I visited Jesse Sorenson. He is movving his arms and legs. Doctors say one year recovery. I say four months. Jesse is a hero and fighter. 'I'll Be Back.'"
It's no surprise that Angle would think Sorensen could recover from a broken neck in just four months, considering the fact that he did something similar on more than one occasion. But I also believe it's been proven that Angle's quick turnarounds and inability to properly rehabilitate his neck has led to his falling into a drug problem he's never quite been able to kick and the rapid degeneration of his body.
Let's hope Sorensen plays it smart and TNA takes care of him while he's working to get better.

A young guy like this
needs to do whatever it takes to return to full health and avoid being dogged by negative repercussions due to a short-sighted rushed comeback. Hopefully he gets that opportunity.

I think Angle was joking.
That guy and his sense of humor, lol.
Concern
Is how TNA takes care of him while recovering. Hes probably paid per appearance w/ zero guaranteed. Plus as we all know NO benefits. Hope Dixie doesn’t leave him screwed considering he risked EVERYTHING 4 her company while making peanuts.

Dunno
I don’t know about TNA “taking care” about this guy. They have a pretty miserable track record of taking care of their performers – look what happened to Chris Candido. And Daffney. And lately, Jeff Hardy. WWE’s wellness policy is mostly PR, but they’ve done a better job addressing health issues lately than TNA has.
I hope he recovers. I wonder how much heat Ion is getting back stage.

I don’t know why there would be heat on him, I don’t see how he could have been at fault.

I doubt any, it looked like a legitimate accident

Wow. I tried to find it yesterday, but couldnt. Thanks for the link. That looked brutal! But definitely accidental. And you can tell he was trying to cover up his concern.

sure thing
It definitely looks like they had some sort of miss communication. Ion did a good job staying in character but you could tell he was concerned too.

I dunno, maybe I'm wrong but
Ion looked really reckless in having his knees tucked in like he did on that moonsault.

you know the more I watch it
it does kind of look like maybe Ion thought his legs were going to hit the barricade so he sort of tucked them in at the last minute to avoid injuring himself. I still don’t know if I would place blame on him, but I’m not a TNA official.

It's one of those rock and a hard place moments
and Jesse Sorensen just happened to be in the wrong place

Well, that's good news that he's moving his legs.
I just sincerely hope he doesn’t get screwed over like Daffney did.

Really happy about this. I never want to see another Droz in my lifetime.
Zema is one of my new favorites and I’m sure this weighs heavily in his heart and mind. Sh*t like this happens from time to time.
