>my first thought was that's just gonna tank his standing
As it should. The man spent 7 years making more money than most average people no less wrestling fans will ever see. He wasn't even outright fired (until this past week) they just weren't renewing his contract. Which they even gave him the heads up on. I can sympathize with the injury. That part sucks as they always do. But there's a huge absence of accountability on this guy's end. He knew how much money he was making. He knew how long his contract ran for. If he's living beyond his means then that's up to him to sort out. Not for fans to have to pay his lifestyle. Not for WWE to have to keep him signed eternally. This whole situation is bizarre and if it happened even just earlier this year it wouldn't even be talked about. He'd be an obvious KWAB and lolcow but since the overall narrative has become 'WWE bad' then fans are using him as a pawn in that
