How exactly were his opponents at risk of injury? He kept wrestling on a bad leg. If he attempted a move and slipped up because of it, he could have hurt someone else.

How exactly were his opponents at risk of injury? If he botched his moves due to the leg. According to the results I read he gave Edge a really crappy looking Pedigree at one point.

Oh yeah, he's out now. www.pwtorch.com/artman/publish/article_18861.shtmlTriple H is in Birmingham, Ala. right now having his leg injury from last night's PPV examined. Today's diagnosis is a quadriceps tear on the opposite leg of his last injury. He is scheduled to have surgery tomorrow. He tore his other quad on May 21, 2001 and returned about eight months later. Typical recovery time for this injury is nine months. After surgery, he will be in a wheel chair for a month or two, then on crutches for another two months, and then wear a leg immobilizer for another stretch of time, before moving into the rehab stage. If he follows a typical recovery time pattern, he won't be able to return to action until around October 2007, missing WrestleMania and Summerslam. The tentative main event for WrestleMania was Triple H challenging John Cena for the WWE Title. That will not happen now, obviously. A new WrestleMania main event will have to be devised, and the DX gimmick will probably be discontinued, barring Shawn Michaels "recruiting" a new member to take Hunter's place. Vince McMahon and Kevin Nash suffered similar quad tears in recent years. Nash was out nine month. He did not continue wrestling his match when he tore his quad. Hunter did, putting other body parts and his opponents at risk of injury as he finished the match. Hunter wraps his knees tightly before wrestling to protect the knee, but it could also conceivably lead to a tendency to more easily tear a quad. It also might stabilize his legs even with a torn quad so he was more able to complete a match than someone suffering the same injury without his knees wrapped. Having suffered the same injury on his other leg in 2001, he probably immediately knew what happened. Michaels, meanwhile, has shown signs of being very worn down by the schedule and in need of time off himself, increasingly so over the last year. The Triple H injury puts more pressure on him to work through his fatigue and nagging injuries (including continuing issues with his lower back, which forced his retirement at one point) at least through fall. And yet, the E just released a statement that he's just now going into the MRI. If he's just NOW having it examined, then they cant give a full diagnosis. While this may be true, I'm still gonna wait to hear this through more official channels than the torch.

Wait, wha? Wouldn't HHH's disappearance and thus the end of DX (for now) basically allow him to take time off - just have Rated RKO destroy him to explain it for the TV crowd and voila, he gets a few months off. With DX still hot and heavy going, Shawn's presence was required pretty much each week. Now he's virtually gimmickless, so what better time than now to take some time off?

Triple H tears quadriceps tendon
Written: January 8, 2007
Following an MRI with Dr. James Andrews in Birmingham, Ala. on Monday, Triple H was diagnosed with a ruptured quadriceps tendon.
Officially, The Game suffered a tear of one of the four tendons in his right quadriceps. The injury occurred during DX's match with Rated-RKO at New Year's Revolution. Surgery will be performed on Tuesday in Alabama, and WWE doctor Ferdinand Rios estimates that The Game will need four to six months to rehabilitate the injury.
While he was in a tremendous amount of pain prior to the MRI, Triple H was said to be in great spirits and had a smile on his face.

BTW - how did Vince recover from his quad injuries?
I mean, BAH GAWD, the man blew out both quads at the Rumble 2 years ago and yet according to reports was on his feet within weeks.
I'm guessing, though, regardless of how Vince recovered, HHH will go the "slow and steady" route he took back in 2001. After all, unlike Vince HHH is a regular in-ring performer, so he'd HAVE to take the proper recovery time off to heal otherwise he messes himself up even worse and ends up a cripple or something.
Say what you want about HHH, but the man has real intestinal fortitude. On one hand, it'll be nice not having him take up a main event spot, but on the other he'll recover the proper way and do the right thing in not screwing his body up - and that's to be admired, dammit.

Being on your feet and walking is quite different than wrestling, though.

What are they going to do now Hit the panic button pretty hard, I'd say. There's really no one to take Triple H's place in DX, so that's done with. They can't just push Michaels against Rated RKO, because one wrestler fueding with a tag team doesn't work that great. If it were me, I'd let Michaels go back to being his traditional character he'd been using up until the DX return, and bring in Mick Foley to team with him. He's got bad blood in the past with both Edge and Orton, and is a big enough name to replace Triple H. I realize that he'd last been seen being buddies with Edge and all that, but I'm sure that's one of those things that can be written off from WWE continuity as most people generally just remember their hardcore match.

With DX still hot and heavy going, Shawn's presence was required pretty much each week. Now he's virtually gimmickless, so what better time than now to take some time off? HBK is now the second top Face on RAW. He was maybe third or tied for second behind Hunter and Cena. Now with Hunter out, they need him more than ever to not only be the number 2 face but help give some else the rub to number 2 or 3, unless they move someone from Smackdown to RAW (no one on ECW is at that level now). Besides, after DX basically left Rated RKO for dead last night, they have to get revenge and tonight seems to soon after that beating. Nash and Trips first injuries were complete tears, Vince tore one or two tendons in each so it was not a complete tear. That is how he was able to rehab and come back quicker and how Hunter is expected back (depending on the surgery date) by June and not next year some time like the last injury. Trips finishing the match (what was it 6 minutes or more after that?) was just amazing. Here's hoping his rehab goes smooth.

Shawn's bringing in his long lost cousin to fill in for Trips in DX and then the Dude Love theme comes on over the PA. Foley comes out in his Dude Love character and says that tonight, in this very ring right here in(city name here)it will be Team RKO against Sweet Chin Music and Sweet Shin Music.
