GoFundMe campaign started for Kevin Sullivan
Former WCW star “The Taskmaster” Kevin Sullivan is not doing well health-wise and his wife opened a GoFundMe campaign to help cover the thousands of dollars in medical bills.
According to the GoFundMe page, Sullivan suffered an accident on May 12 while in Florida for an autograph signing. He underwent emergency surgery that saved his leg and life but faced severe complications, including sepsis and encephalitis.
While he has an insurance plan, his coverage is nearly exhausted due to the length of stay in hospital and this GoFundMe will help cover the continued hospital expenses, nursing care, physical therapy, recurring medical expenses, and transportation.
The $20,000 goal has already been surpassed with Jim Cornette as the top donor with $5,000, Chris Jericho with $2,500, Scott D’Amore with $1,500, Cody Rhodes with $1,000, and Diamond Dallas Page with another $1,000.

This is why there needs to be a union or something in place for wrestlers post retirement. I know the NFL has something independent that was started by a group led by Mike Ditka. The group helps former players with medical bills, rent and utility payments, etc.
Someone needs to step up and start something like for former wrestlers like Kevin Sullivan.
There is a new top donor as Tony Khan with a $10,000 in the last 24 hours. Current total is $47,142.
