Chris Jericho Starts Fund For Fan With Terminal Cancer

 

Fozzy superfan Daniel House from Tasmania was diagnosed with incurable Stage 4 bowel cancer last September. He was given 3 to 6 months to live, & now at 9 months since his diagnosis, House recently stopped chemotherapy as his body started to rejecting the treatment.One of House’s goals was to see Fozzy live before he passed & he recently had a chance to meet the band & catch them live on an Australian tour.

Fozzy frontman & WWE Superstar Chris Jericho had House as his guest on his “Talk Is Jericho” podcast. Jericho dedicated the entire episode of the show to House.

Jericho not only  granted House’s wish of seeing Fozzy live & invited him to be on “Talk Is Jericho” podcast, he also joined with the members of Fozzy to start a fund to help offset House’s expenses. House is doing his best to make sure his 10-year-old daughter is taken care of after he’s gone. Jericho has set up an address where those wishing to donate can do so. The address is:

Daniel House

P.O. Box 222

Pfafftown, N.C. 27040

Matt Hardy Reportedly Paid Double His Usual Fee By TNA

Matt Hardy

 

Matt Hardy usually charges $1,500, plus hotel & transportation, plus another $300 for his wife Reby Sky for indie appearances. TNA reportedly paid him around double that for his appearance at the Impact taping in New York City this past week.

Matt is not signed to TNA or Ring of Honor, but he wants to continue working for both promotions, even though that might not be possible. It seems Matt is not looking to sign a contract to work as regular in any company. On a recent episode of Wrestling Observer Radio he said that he has made enough money from WWE that he’s financially set for life, but working indies allows him to earn a decent income & stay involved in wrestling.
