Rikishi Says He Almost Got Divorced Due WWE Hell In A Cell Spot

In an interview with The UK Metro, WWE Hall of Famer Rikishi talked about the moment at Armageddon 2000 when he was thrown off the Hell In A Cell and landed on a flatbed truck.

The WWE Title was on the line in a six-way bout. 

“I almost got divorced from my family. It was like, you know, they were p***ed off that I did that move, the sacrifice. But, at the time, they didn’t understand that’s just what we do, as performers, as wrestlers, you know? You already prepped your mind, you know, ‘I can only get this opportunity one time. I can either take it or back out’, and I chose to take it. And, you know, years later, I’m still getting residuals over 25 years from that bump.”
