Triple H Update: Last Thing He Remembers “Entrance”

HHHDocSampson

As Raw went off the air last night Triple H appeared to be disoriented and confused. Footage after the show went off the air of medical personnel continuing to examine the WWE superstar was posted online late Monday night.

When asked by Dr. Micheal Sampson what was the last thing he remembered Triple H replied “My Entrance”. He also referred to his opponent “Curtis Axel” by his previous name “Micheal Mcgillicuddy” and had to be reminded of his new name and gimmick change.

We all hope that this was the planned and not a real-life situation as we know many are genuinely concerned.

TNA vs WWE Crossover Event – Dixie Carter Likes The Idea

Source: Wrestling Inc.com

TNA President Dixie Carter said she would be open to a TNA vs. WWE crossover event during a recent interview with Digital Sky. She said:

“I don’t think [the WWE] shares my belief in this, but I believe that competition is 100% positively essential,I think it’s important for fans and for us. To have one company dominate, a) it’s boring, and you are not being challenged enough. It’s always better to have other options out there and I truly believe it makes both companies better. absolutely would do that. I’m not sure if they would do that (a crossover event), but I absolutely would.”
