Rob James' Medical Fund

Donation protected
After recently celebrating 12 years in the wrestling business, Rob James could use our help. On October 17, 2015 in Minot, North Dakota "6 % Body Fat" Rob James suffered a catastrophic knee injury in a match. The injuries include a torn ACL, torn meniscus, sprained LCL and an avulsion fracture of the tibia where the ACL attaches. 

Rob does have medical insurance, but he needs help in paying the $5,000 deductible. Plus, he will need about 9 months to recover from surgery and miss work for the procedure and numerous therapy sessions. This will place a large financial burden on him. Funds raised will go toward his medical bills and expenses, plus cover the percentage taken by gofundme.

Below is video of the injury:


Rob has travelled many miles to entertain many fans for very little money. He is not under a contact with the "big leagues". Fans of Minnesota independents and other midwest independent wrestling will tell you how hard he works, how good he is with the fans and most importantly was a solid person he is.

Like many of you, we are fans of professional wrestling and respect the personal and physical sacrifices made by wrestlers like Rob. It is situations like this when a good person who works their tail off to entertain us needs help, that we as fans and fellow wrestlers need to step up and help a fallen "brother".

If you've ever been a fan of Rob's or wrestling in general, now is the time where you can give back. Anything you can give will mean a lot to help with his medical bills and his recovery.

Thank you for your support of Rob and Independent wrestling.
