Official Wrasslin' Thread (renamed to reflect the discussion)
Tell me if I'm being a huge jerk about this. As big as that family is. As RICH as that family is, they're leaving a family member to ask for donations? Did he get ostracized or something?

This is one of those general topics that could possibly produce some solid conversation as its own thread on the EE, in terms of family "responsibilities" toward family members with less.
As it pertains specifically to this Samoan wrestling family.......you notice they set the goal at $60,000. To your point, I'm sure that entire family could collectively come up with that amount in short order. But remember, their entire lives, they've been taught the importance of getting wrestling fans ("marks") to open their wallets.
So, would The Rock care all that much if he had $60,000 less in available funds? With his current wealth....probably not. But if wrestling fans will send all or most of that money without Rock or others having to, then they might as well go that route first. I'm fairly confident (barring some ostracization issue, as you asked about) that the family will have no issue ponying up the remainder of what is needed.
