The fiancée of a wrestler is attempting to raise $200,000 to cover his medical bills after an unfortunate in-ring incident resulted in him snapping both of his legs at the same time.
The injury occurred last weekend when the amateur pro-wrestler, called Justin, was making his entrance prior to a backyard match.
However, before the bell could be rung, Justin suffered a gruesome injury when he jumped off the second rope. The moment his feet hit the mat, both of his knees bent backward and he broke both of his legs, news.com.au reports.
The engaged dad-of-one was quickly rushed to intensive care.
We will not be posting the video due to its graphic nature, but it can be seen on Twitter HERE.
Justin's fiancée, Ashley, has now set up a GoFundMe page in the hopes of raising $200,000 for the wrestler - who hasn't got any medical insurance.
Ashley details on the page that Justin has already undergone three surgeries, with doctors "working hard to determine if amputation will be necessary."
Either way, Justin will "ultimately be faced with a long road to recovery starting with a two-week minimum hospital stay."
Ashley adds: "Justin does not have insurance.
"Yes, $200,000 seems incredibly steep, however the hospital stay, numerous surgeries, medical equipment, the countless months of [physical] therapy ahead, and even handicapping his home will far exceed this request.
"Though the internet has been a mixed bag of concern and distasteful cruelty, Justin has remained lighthearted in his situation. However, no amount of money will cover the emotional damage he will continue to endure through the aftermath of this horrible accident, so any offerings would help."
Former WWE and AEW champion Chris Jericho (real name Christopher Irvine), has already donated $2,000 to the fundraiser, TMZ reports, with the grappler describing the injury as "so terrible".
Ashley concluded by writing: "Justin has been through so much physically in the last few days, on top of a recent custody battle, and losing his father this past Christmas.
"He will sincerely appreciate any contributions to alleviate this unfortunate financial burden. At very minimum, we simply ask you to pray for Justin."
As of this writing, $17,835 has been raised of the $200,000 target.
