Last week it was reported that Danhausen had reportedly suffered ankle injurie at Next Generation Wrestling: Tennessee’s “Nightmare in The Old City” show on October 31. After going to a local hospital Danhausen shared an X-ray of his “broken skeleton” and On Monday confirmed that he suffered a broken tibia and fibula at the event.
Now, a GoFundMe has been started to help Danhausen with his medical bills. According to the GoFundMe page, which lists Donovan Danhausen as an organizer, the wrestler will need to hire an aid to help him with his various convention and wrestling appearances. While Danhausen will not be able to wrestle for some time, he wants to continue to fulfill his bookings.
“While he is able to do his signings, he will be unable to wrestle which makes up the majority of his income. In addition to the nature of the injury, he must do treatments, surgery , and rehab in the United States and will be unable to travel back to his home in Canada to his wife and step-daughter for the upcoming months. This news has been absolutely devastating to Danhausen and his family and your help is greatly appreciated.”
Danhausen’s wife, Lou Lou la Duchesse de Riere, retweeted the announcement of the fundraiser which was first shared by former Impact Wrestling Knockouts champion Su Yung. Danhausen himself then retweeted it. Just an hour after being posted, the GoFundMe had raised over $2,000 with a $25,000 goal.
Update: Danhausen’s GofundMe has already raised over 24k. Ryan Barkan of Pro Wrestling Tees donated a whopping $2,500 Cody Rhodes donated $1,000 and Cody Ford the owner of New Generation Pro Wrestling (the promotion where Danhausen was injured) also donated $1,000.
