"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 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."
That should make all you HHH haters happy. You were all praying that he got injured and now look what you've done, pffft.
But if hell freezes over and he doesn't appear on RAW i won't be shedding any tears over it. I just hope Goldberg injures him again at Summerslam and i have no problems saying that either.

No, I do indeed remember that. But, when you think about it, many people look upon the belt as worth at least something, whereas when Trips just got given the belt, it was worth nothing, really. When he loses this (to, yes, Goldberg, no matter how obvious it is) it will be a big event.

Sadly, that is true, Congy. It's a point that makes me doubt the validity of some champions (why, Triple H for example) but when Angle wins the title on SmackDown!, it gives me a little bit of hope.

Does anyone take champions seriously anymore? I don't since plitical backstage power became more important than ability and overness.

There we go that's one person that wanted HHH injured but there are many more. Told they said it
