bobobrazil1984 0 Report post Posted July 29, 2003 http://www.wwe.com/news/headlines/1223795 July 29, 2003 -- Triple H suffered a groin injury last night at RAW in Colorado Springs and will be unable to participate in WWE’s tour of Australia this weekend. The World Heavyweight Champion was diagnosed this afternoon with a severely strained groin. The injury occurred during a confrontation with Goldberg after the RAW cameras stopped rolling last night. It was originally thought that the Game had a torn groin. But after an MRI, X-ray and consultation with an orthopedic surgeon in Colorado Springs today, a severe strain was diagnosed. However, in a phone interview with WWE.com this afternoon, Jim Ross, executive vice president of talent relations, said that the Game will be reevaluated in a few days, after some of the trauma in his groin area has subsided. “The doctor, without further evaluation, cannot rule out the fact that (Triple H) has a hernia,” Ross said. “He can barely walk. The doctor has prevented him from doing any physical activity for at least a week, and probably longer. He’ll be reevaluated next week.” Ross said the doctor also strongly recommended that Triple H not fly to Australia. The champion needs to rest the injury right now and, if possible, have physical therapy. The last thing he needs right now is a 17-hour, one-way plane ride, which would only aggravate the condition, the doctor said. “It’s regretful that we have to take him off the tour,” Ross said. “We just got the information a few minutes ago. We’re in the process of contacting our marketing representative and partners in Australia. We know some of the fans reading the Web site will get the news now, which is what we’re trying to do. We’re trying to be proactive and let them know what the situation is, as is customary with all our events when a star the magnitude of Triple H cannot be there. “Triple H wanted to make the trip to Australia just to be present at the events,” Ross added. “He was willing to go. He wanted to go. He was packed and ready to go. But the doctor said he would be strongly harmed by being (on a plane) for 17 hours.” Ross said WWE will offer refunds to fans who request them during the three-event RAW Ruthless Aggression tour of Australia –- Thursday in Melbourne and Friday and Saturday in Sydney. Ross said WWE is “hopeful” that Triple H will be able to compete with Goldberg on Sunday, Aug. 24 at SummerSlam. Officials will have a better indication when the champion is reevaluated in the next few days. They called me... Mr. Glass. :( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Lightning Flik Report post Posted July 29, 2003 Hmm...has fate finally struck? Considering they are being "hopeful" I think fate finally has gotten him. But who will go after the World title? Does that mean we'll have Goldberg vs. ??? for the vacant World title? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Chris Jericho for World Champion Report post Posted July 29, 2003 NOOOOO! This means Goldbitchtits is now very likely going to beat him at SummerSlam if they keep the match! Triple H's long reign was hell, Goldbitchtits will be fucking hell to the millionth power! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bobobrazil1984 0 Report post Posted July 29, 2003 HHH can still drop the title at Summerslam. Maybe. Can he take a spear and jackhammer? The perfect excuse for HHH being squashed in 3 minutes. His groin wont allow him to work a real match Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest PowerPB13 Report post Posted July 29, 2003 What does he DO that would actually put him under the physical stress required for injury? Do those sleeperholds require THAT much strain to maintain? -Patrick Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Anglesault Report post Posted July 29, 2003 The only reason want the Cripple to be okay is to keep the belt off FGB. Hopefully, Hunter's warped line of thinking gets Bill punished for this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Red Hot Thumbtack In The Eye Report post Posted July 29, 2003 Regardless of Smark hate, the workrate jokes, or whatever, it is quite obvious that there is something seriously wrong(probably back related) with him. Plus the fact that he never lets himself take time to heal his wounds probably doesn't help matters. Life of a wrestler I guess. I wish he would take a year off and come back healthy and ready again. And not just because I am terribly bored of his antics. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest HartFan86 Report post Posted July 29, 2003 HHH has never recovered from the quad tear, physically and mentally. He probably might be better off if he just retired then. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Retro Rob Report post Posted July 29, 2003 If Goldberg goes over at SummerSlam, that would more or less set in stone a Kane title reign. That is of course unless they kill his heat by then. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Lightning Flik Report post Posted July 29, 2003 Perhaps... And this is just a wild guess, but maybe if he actually took some time off to heal all those nagging injuries, he MIGHT be able to go better than he is now. Just a wild guess. Doesn't mean I won't bitch about him as much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest JRE Report post Posted July 29, 2003 I think everyone agrees he and Steph should take some time off for their upcoming wedding. Starting now. *1997 flashback* Hey. maybe Trips is just faking it so he doesn't have to job to Goldberg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Ronixis Report post Posted July 30, 2003 "If he lost 25 fucking pounds, he would be back to year 2000 form" -Steve Austin. It seems its comming true. That 260+ frame is killing him. If he goes back to AT least 235-255 range, he will be fine- there are things Genes can help with, but not body frames. Can somebody get Lance Armstrong's trainer to help HHH- I am dead serious.

Guest AM The Kid Report post Posted July 30, 2003 As soon as I read he was injured I thought "faker", I think he took a trick out of Shawn's book. No way is he jobbing to Goldberg. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
