Everyone knows that professional wrestling isn’t ballet, and a wrestler can potentially take some serious damage at any given time during a match. Chair shots to the head used to be quite common in WWE, but the company has since made some changes when it comes to using weapons.
During an episode of Raw that aired in November of 2005, Val Venis faced off against Triple H in a singles match which ended in a DQ when The Game attacked The Big Valbowski with a steel chair. Venis recently recalled the match while speaking with Wrestling Shoot Interviews, and he said that Triple H’s chair shot was the hardest chair shot of his career.
“When I came around and he caught me with that chair, it was one of those things where I don’t remember anything when my eyes opened up for the first few seconds all I could see are lights, people, and a wrestling ring on one side of me. And I don’t know what my own name is. I don’t know why I’m there. I don’t know what I’m supposed to do for about what seemed like forever, but it was only about two-three seconds.”
“All of a sudden your marbles come back together and you’re like, ‘oh yeah, I’m still in a wrestling match. I gotta finish this up now because even though he got DQed he’s gonna pull me back in the ring and give me the pedigree. But those first few seconds when you open your eyes and you come to and you don’t know who you are, you don’t know what you’re doing, I’m not gonna lie man, that’s a scary scary thing. Like when you become frightened, that’s what I felt. I felt like a child for those first few seconds.”
