Sean 'X-Pac' Waltman has an even number of fans and critics. But for every one of his regrettable actions, he sometimes commits acts of super decency.
Last Summer, rookie wrestler Jesse Sorensen broke his neck during a TNA pay-per-view match. He was promised by TNA President Dixie Carter that he would be "looked after". When it was announced that he may never wrestle again, he was offered a new position with the company. But he was released before he could take up the role. During his year out of action, he was unable to work matches, and therefore could not earn a single penny. Worse still, TNA did not help in any way to help Sorensen pay his medical fees. As a direct result, his mother has filed for bankruptcy.
Sean Waltman was personally sickened by this turn of events. He contacted a skilled lawyer over Twitter. Once he got the lawyer interested, he sent the details to Sorensen.

"if a person broke their neck doing 'backyard wrestling' and the bills were astronomical, would the homeowners insurance be liable?".

The lawyer told Waltman that the case was worth looking into depending on the policy and injuries. Waltman then told Sorensen to talk to the lawyer. Sorensen thanked Waltman for 'having his back'.
