Rip Rogers Asking For $200k With Vague GoFundMe Campaign

The pro wrestling world is full of legends and people who are sadly falling on hard times. We’ve seen more than a few GoFundMe campaigns spring up as wrestlers turn to the public for help. It’s hard to sustain yourself in such an unpredictable business, and Rip Rogers understands that all too well.

A Go Fund Me is now open for Rip Rogers, but it’s not very descriptive. The title of this campaign is, “Health is Failing. Need surgery ASAP!” They are asking for $200,000 in this campaign, and they have raised $4,647 of their goal.

The description for this campaign does not specify what Rip Rogers’ health issues are, but he is apparently in need of that two-hundred grand. In a very brief passage, the GoFundMe’s description merely mentions who Rip Rogers is and it states that he is having health issues.

“Hello all, at least all who know me. Rip Rogers; of course! Been in the wrestling biz for nearly all my life. Five decades plus and going till possibly the day I die. It’s my passion and been a joyful ride for me, as many of you know and have witnessed.”
