Title: Triple H Injures Neck

Triple H injured his neck at the Raw taping this past Monday with the injury being so bad that at one point, he collapsed backstage.
According to several sources, the initial injury occurred during Triple H's handicap match against Hurricane and Rosey when Rosey legdropped H and landed on his neck and head. At one point, it was thought Triple H may have had suffered a concussion as well, but we don't have the concussion confirmed at this time.
After the handicap match, H spent a lot of time backstage icing down his neck and keeping a towel around it. He went back out for the show closing angle with Jim Ross and WWE World champion Batista and reaggravated the neck injury while taking a bump during the segment, as he collapsed upon arrival backstage at the gorilla position after the angle.
It is believed that Triple H's injury was the reason why the scheduled dark match main event (Shawn Michaels and Batista vs. Ric Flair and Triple H) was canceled. John Borchardt, who attended the Raw taping, sent word on Tuesday morning that Earl Hebner ran down from the back and yelled to ring announcer Lillian Garcia that there was no tag match.
It also appears Triple H's neck injury may have prevented Stepanie McMahon from traveling to Louisville, Kentucky with other members of WWE management and the creative team today to scout WWE's developmental talent in Ohio Valley Wrestling. The scouting went on for about four hours during this afternoon's training session, with the writers heading home prior to tonight's OVW TV taping. |
Looks like Batista might actually have a shot now.

Oh praise jesus. Let it be true, and much worse than it sounds.

I feel really be about being hopeful this keeps him off of tv but it's gotten to the point that I'm so sick of him I want him gone.
I thought his selling on the outside of the ring at the end of Raw looked fishy.

Triple H is one of very few that I genuinely wish bodily harm on just to get him off of TV. He is definitely tops on that list. A few more.
1. Triple H
2. Chris Masters
3. Kenzo Suzuki (although even lame-ass Smackdown grew tired of his sorry ass it seems)
4. Booker T
The worst part, if Triple H gets legit hurt is that we'll probably have to stomach another face-injury comeback return just like after the quad.

...Batista. That way Triple H can win the Heavyweight title back without wrestling.

Well, Rosey, it was good knowing you. Congrats on lasting two years longer than your old buddy, Jamal.
If Triple H needs to take considerable amounts of time off due to this, then Rosey is going to be one of my new five all-time favorites.

Well it appears it wasn't any big deal and he won't be missing any time. Damn it.

God Dammit Rosey, you can't do anything right! Someone fire his fat ass and have Hurricane squashed.

Don't worry. I think the WWE is already on top of that.
