10 Fascinating WWE Survivor Series 2003 Facts
3. Triple H Was Working Through A Groin Injury
If you were watching WWE at the time, you may remember a particular odd sartorial choice on the part of Triple H. 'The Game' had taken to wearing restrictive bicycle shorts that went down past his mid-thigh. On the list of least-flattering wrestling attire ever, those biker shorts easily make the cut.
They did, however, have a practical purpose. Triple H was still mending from a torn groin, and the tighter-than-tight shorts essentially held him together like unfashionable duct tape.
It's clear in the match that Triple H is nowhere near optimum shape, and it goes behind his wounded groin. His physique was far below the standards he keeps for himself, with a billowing gut and diminished muscle mass evident. The injury, understandably, kept Helmsley from his dedicated workout regimen.
