TRIPLE H'S QUAD TEAR, RIKISHI, TNA'S TV TITLE AND MORE

By Mike Johnson on 2010-08-31 10:00:00
Has Triple H spoken publicly about his match with Austin vs. Benoit/Jericho where he tore his quad? Because it looked really painful and I really don't know how he continued.

I am sure he may have discussed the match in interviews around the time where he returned from the injury. That match is often pointed to by WWE wrestlers as to why they have a deep respect for HHH - when he had every right to stop everything, he still allowed himself to be put in the Walls of Jericho after the tear. Say what you will about him, but he's certainly one tough guy.

TNA Television title in tribute to Flair winning the TV title in WCW or  something like that? Even though Ric Flair never won it - is this TNA  ignoring the intelligence of the audience again?

I think it's just TNA trying to come up with some reason to change the title's name.

Why did Shane McMahon take so many risks when wrestling?

He loved wrestling, period. There are a lot of people in the company who were amazed at how hard he worked and the physicality he endured in his matches. It earned him a lot of respect at the time. As for why he did it - he loved performing.

Riskishi - His whereabouts?

Rikishi Phatu is based on the West Coast and is involved with the Knokx Wrestling School. He also booked and wrestled for Nu-Wrestling in Europe and does independent work from time to time.

I was watching the 'Lopez Tonight' episode with Chris Jericho, and it  seems what he was saying wasn't exactly 'PG.' Did he get into any  trouble over it?

No. He was on a late night talk show. They aren't going to talk about fluffy kittens!
