Marty Elias recently revealed how WWE Chairman Vince McMahon reacted backstage to an injury that his son-in-law and WWE star Triple H had sustained during a match at New Year’s Revolution 2007.
The match was a tag team match for the World Tag Team Championships when HHH and Shawn Michaels challenged Rated RKO (Edge and Randy Orton) for the titles. Hunter had suffered a legitimate injury to his right leg while executing a spinebuster to ‘The Viper’. The injury had ruled him out for seven months off WWE Television.

Marty Elias recalls the reaction of Vince McMahon
Speaking to Dr. Chris Featherstone on the latest edition of Sportskeeda Wrestling’s UnSKripted, the former WWE referee spoke about his conversation with Vince following a match where the Chairman of WWE thanked him for helping out ‘The Game’:
“He never really gave me feedback unless it was something he was nitpicking at, but I do recall, it was New Year’s Revolution and unfortunately it was when Triple H got injured and stuff. After the match, we called it a no-contest and all that, we got to the back. Vince pulled me aside and he told me straight up he goes, ‘Thank you for being out there and for being where you were because you really helped Paul (Triple H) and thank you for being out there and for taking care of him.’ And I said, That’s my job, boss,” Marty Elias said.
