After months of yall complaining about HHH's bogus handing of the World Title and his screwing of RVD and Kane. Also his necrophillia and murderer angles, I unhappy to say that you bitching has paid for ya. Triple H has lost the belt and probably will be gone for a while. He won't get belt back for a while!! Thanks to very serious throat injury at Survivor Series.
So here's the report....
Direct from WWE.COM... Triple H injured during title match Triple H suffered an injury, reportedly to his throat area, during the Elimination Chamber Match at Survivor Series on Sunday night. Triple H has been taken to a nearby hospital for evaluation. WWE.com will have an update on The Game's condition as soon as it becomes available.
ALSO AN UPDATE directly from Rajahwwf.com the Wrestling Observer(2 of the best and most trusted "insider" wrestling news sites)...
In an update to the earlier report issued by the WWE, HHH was rushed to the trauma center at a local hospital by ambulance after the show according to the Wrestling Observer. He was admitted and underwent tests and observation for a larnyx problem. The injury occurred during the spot where Rob Van Dam hit HHH with a frog splash off the top of one of the chambers.
Preliminary reports indicate that it was RVD's shinbone that landed across HHH's throat, thus causing him to have difficulty breathing and talking after the PPV. Initially those on the scene were concerned about the possibility that HHH could have had a crushed larnyx, but nothing has been confirmed as of this report.
ALSO A LIVE ACCOUNT OF THE INCIDENT from a FAN too: When RVD did his 5-star off the holding cell, he overshot and hit knees first, with the left one in HHH's throat area. While JR and King were selling RVD's knee, Hebner came over to HHH and asked him if he was OK. HHH clearly said no and "throat" a few seconds later. Hebner then did an X overhead with his forearms and pointed to HHH(This is their legit injury sign; he did the same thing when Nash blew out his knee and I've seen it a couple of times since) He didn't do it for RVD's knee, so that may or may not have been a work.
I wasn't watching that closely to the tape, so I don't know about the hand gestures from Hebner, but reports are coming out that HHH may have suffered a serious injury during tonight's match.
Special Thanks to fan, David Scott, for the info.
SO enjoy Triple H gone for a while. As of late, he won't spouting anymore murderer or necrophillia angles due to his throat. So instead of having a decent ring worker and great mic man like Trips. We get a washed up, broken down, has been shadow of his former SHOWSTOPPA self....Shawn Micheals to replace him. So I hope yall are happy. Cause on a side note; I would have rather seen Tiple H regain the belt tonight on RAW and due some more of the same damn garbage we see now, than have the Has Been Kid as a RAW's World Champion anyday. BUT WE CAN'T, SO I HOPE YALL ARE HAPPY!!
No they aren't. Well...Some of them aren't. The majority of us seem pretty happy with the PPV, but if you look around, those that aren't think that Shawn Michaels having the title sucks (oooh! and so do you, well, so much for seeing this angle out, huh?), even though he took it from HHH, and that HHH will no-sell this latest injury to come back and Pedigree everyone and make their lives miserable.
Honestly? I hope it's nothing serious. I've never crushed my larynx before, but I'd imagine it hurts like hell, and I don't wish that on anyone.

What? It isn't like Weinerville caused the injury. You are like, "I hope you are happy!" I hate the Steelers, but not happy Tommy Maddux got hurt. Also my hate for the Steelers had nothing to do with him getting hurt. It doesn't work like that. One has nothing to do with the other.

You won't have to look far on the 'net(not necessarily here) to find people who ARE happy that Triple H got hurt. Unfortunately, the venom directed toward the guy runs disturbingly deep with some people.

Triple H will not be cleared to return until he regains the ability to spit water.
This is probably Bad Form, and I want HHH to be ok, but that made me imagine the WWE "Desire" video with Creed in the background while they show HHH's vigorous rehab, starting from the first time when the water just dribbles down his chin to his triumphant return. Of course, then we'd all just bitch about how his throat muscles are too big and his water spray after rehab is kind of half-assed and lethargic compared to the consistent ****+ water sprays pre-injury.

I personally think HHH's larynx injury is all part of an evil plot to hold Ricky Steamboat down. See, HHH will have all the hype surround his injury, thus making Steamboat's injury back in 1987 look Mickey Mouse.
Damn that HHH. He's even holding down the retirees!
I for one would like to apologize for using all of my evil super-smark powers to cause HHH to get injured. I invoked the Unholy Dark Demons of Workrate to fell the mighty champion.
Seriously, this is the stupidest ass thread ever. Am I glad the man is in pain and injured? Of course not. Am I disappointed he won't be on my tv? Not particularly. Do I wish him a speedy recovery? Yup. Do I hope when he comes back he won't be quite such an all-encompassing presence on Raw? Yup. Does all this make me some sort of evil person? I don't think so. If you do, oh well.
I don't like seeing people get hurt while performing FOR ME... no matter who they are. But that being said, I do not know HHH, or any other wrestler for that matter, personally, so I really don't give a crap about him. About the belt... it seems pretty clear to me that HBK was not supposed to win that thing. Now, since he clearly does not want to wrestle full time... what do you think the odds are that he is just going to lie the belt down, and we will have a tournament for it... like they should have done in the first place?

Well- my ass still hurts, but lets see what happens this week...

This sums up my feelings exactly. I would never wish harm on the guy, but it may be a little refreshing not to see him every 5 minutes on RAW for a change.

So how long before HHH and Undertaker pull some crap adding "Hey, the LAST time you had me job, I got seriously hurt!" At least now maybe his leg will get better and he won't try to add another 20 pounds coming back...AGAIN.
And really, RVD's gonna end up the goat in this one for hurting Hunter, even though they should have made the top of the cage a LITTLE higher so Shawn and Van Dam could actually leap off correctly.

I'd like to second both of these. I don't want to see anyone get injured. I don't think anyone on this board does, so don't use something like this as a forum for smark-bashing.

Yeah.. RVD jumped from on top of one of the cages inside the chamber. It looked bad... he landed foot first. Really it was a bad idea, because he had no head-room up there, hence no room to really jump so he could stretch out. It kind of just looked like he fell into it. Same for all of the top of the cages spots... it really was not the best idea....

Yes, it was probably my desire to see other guys elevated that caused HHH's injury. But, how do you explain his quad injury before? I would have listed HHH as my favorite wrestler before his quad injury so, who was the miscreant responsible for that injury?
I guess I'm as happy about HHH's injury as you anti-Smarks were when Benoit was out with his neck injury or as happy as some of you appear to be with the Big Show's current title reign.
The Curse of the Clique strikes yet again. Look at the members of the Clique. Kevin Nash: Tears a quad taking 3 steps. Alpo: Had to wear a jock strap on his face. Sean Waltman: Neck problems and engaged to a transexual. Shawn Michaels: Back problems. Scott Hall: Drunk. Trip: Throat.
Now, if this injury had happened to Scott Hall, it might have helped his career. Then again, this could just be Katie Vick haunting Trip for disturbing her spirit from beyond the grave.
I want you to know, I agree with everything I've just said.
