Pro wrestler TK O'Ryan, of Ring of Honor fame, broke his leg when doing a moonsault dive to the outside of the ring. Once he smashed his leg against the steel barrier, the video went viral, and it wasn't long before it became very apparent that TK need help, badly.
The Superkick Foundation reached out to TK and learned that the injury came at one of the worst possible times of his career, and as thus, could not afford to miss a payday. Apart from the giving that we are able to do, one of the more redeeming parts of this organization is hearing the stories from the pro wrestlers that we serve, and TKO is a humble athlete who works hard, treats others well, and does what he can for his peers and for the fans, alike. From here, we launched #GetWellTK!, a fundraiser in which was comprised of donations from several different sectors of revenue for us, listed below:

From here, we launched #GetWellTK!, a fundraiser in which was comprised of donations from several different sectors of revenue for us, listed below:
- We ended up donating 70% of donation-revenue that we received in merchandise purchases from our store on WhatAManeuver.net
- Within a set time frame between our full donation to TK & the launch of this campaign, we donated 100% of funds from anyone who purchased the "Worldwide" t-shirt design
- We raised funds directly through on our website via our DonorBox platform
- The Foundation set aside our own donation
The result? Over $700 donated to TK, which allowed him to get by in the period that he was out. This donation is undoubtedly one of the largest donations that we have ever made to a pro wrestler, only topped by Matt and Nick Jackson (Young Bucks).
While he is still healing, TK is a workhorse who has never missed a day of work--whether appearing on camera for Ring of Honor, or by merely working his tail off at the gym, TK embodies the spirit of independent wrestling while staying positive and making light out of a bad situation (his t-shirt, available on another popular merchandise website, shows an image of a steel barricade with the words "I Broke TK's Leg", and consistently does well in sales).
The Superkick Foundation was proud to lend a hand to TK O'Ryan, a good man who genuinely enjoys all of his interactions with fans. Please continue to support his merchandise site and follow him on Twitter! We also thank everyone who made this donation possible!
