This is probally a little off topic but why is it that everyone keeps assuming that his family is very well off. Obviously they are not "poor" like some kids you hear about who have one mother households, but lets not assume that just because his dad was a pro wrestler that they are mutli millionares either. His dad was in his prime back in the late 70's through the 80's and a little in the early 90's. He was doing this stuff long before there was things like Monday Night Raw and millions of dollars beign handed out to everyone. Most of those guys got paid on a nightly basis for years, and sometimes they would get screwed over by a shady promoter, so I don't think people can assume that his family can just got a spend money however they want. In addition to that who says that his family supports him financially? There are plenty of parents who want to teach their child the value of a dollar, so there is a change James hasn't always gotten what the wants just because his family has some extra money.
Like I said a little off topic, just tired of people assuming that his family is very well off.
And what ever he decided I wish him good luck, as there is no wrong answer in this situation

Many people's definition of "family very well off" - I believe they have more money than I do

he might not be in the ring, but Animal Sr still works for Vince McMahon.

Joe Laurinaitis debuted in 1982. He wrestled in the WWE from '90-'92, '97-'98, '03-'06 and WCW from '96, '00-'01. He still wrestles in smaller events such as TNA and All Japan Pro Wrestling.
Plus, he has other family members in high places. His uncle, John Laurinaitis, is Senior Vice President of Talent Relations in the WWE.

I wasn't assuming, I know they're doing just fine. I'm aware he's still involved with wrestling and he has invested his money well. |
