5 crazy backstage stories about Triple H: Part 2

#2 His throat was crushed at the 2002 Survivor Series

The epic conclusion of a gruelling contest

One of the hardest workers the industry has ever seen, Triple H has suffered immeasurable amounts of pain in the ring and still continued to put on a show. The most notable instance of this would be the episode of RAW in 2001 which saw Triple H tear his quad during a tag team match and still continue to fight.

However, the scariest example of Hunter's professionalism comes from the very first Elimination Chamber at Survivor Series where he put his World Heavyweight Championship on the line.

In the course of the match, RVD took to the top of the cage before delivering his trademark Five Star Frog Splash on a downed Triple H; accidentally landing knee-first into Hunter's throat, crushing his larynx.

Trips carried on for a good thirty minutes after that, fighting through the obvious pain of having his throat caved in, and was the last to be eliminated by HBK who became the new champ.
