Former TNA Wrestling superstar Jesse Sorensen, who as we noted earlier today was released from his contract with the company, noted in a statement on an online fundraiser that Dixie Carter went back on her promise that Sorensen would always have a job or some role with the company after he suffered a serious neck injury at the 2012 TNA Against All Odds pay-per-view.

Sorensen, who had been working as a marketing and production assistant behind the scenes following his injury noted that he is looking to raise $600 to help fund himself to enter a bodybuilding competition in Tampa, Florida this October.

Jesse’s statement is below:

“My name is Jessy Sorensen(Jesse Sorensen) I am a former professional wrestler for TNA Impact Wrestling seen every thursday night on SpikeTV. On Feb.12th 2012 during a live match on pay per view vs Zema Ion I suffered a sever neck injury sustaining a broke C-1 vertebrae & herniated C-5 & C-6. After a long recovery process & being promised by the President of TNA Impact Wrestling TNA Dixie Carter I would always have a job with her company, I recently was released from my current contract & shown that those promises were false. During my time away from the ring I decided to pursue bodybuilding & have been prepping for the Hurricane Bay bodybuilding show in Tampa, FL on Oct.5th,2013 but now due to my recent released I will have to drop out of my show. A friend of mine told me about this site and if anyone would like to help and contribute I would be so grateful and appreciate any donations. Thanks and hopefully I can find something I love just as much as I did Wrestling.”
