Interview with Shane Helms

Shane Helms Comments on Issues with Matt Hardy

Matt is going through a time right now. I can't get down there and I can't move as much. I wish I was there to talk to him in person so I could get a better gauge of what's going on. I worry about Matt … a lot. It's kind of flipped because Jeff is now … Jeff has everything together now. He's really a good father, a really great person . And now it just seems like the shoe is on the other foot and Matt is having his difficulties. I'm not even sure what they are. I have an idea but that's not for me to say. He's my friend so it's probably something that, honestly, I wouldn't say anything. But I do worry about him as I would worry about any friend or loved one.

Shane Helms Investigated for DUI After Bloody Crash

Former WWE superstar Shane Helms -- aka "The Hurricane" -- is at the center of a drunk driving investigation after a BRUTAL motorcycle crash on Thursday that left him and his girlfriend broken and battered.

According to the police report obtained by TMZ ... a witness told cops Helms was driving home from a restaurant in Smithfield, North Carolina around 9:15 PM -- with his GF on the bike -- when he blew through a stop sign, lost control and "drove straight through the metal chain link fence."

Cops say one of the witnesses told officers he was hanging out with Helms at a local restaurant minutes before the crash and said he "was sure" Helms had been drinking there.

Helms and his GF were transported to a local hospital where they were treated for multiple broken bones and other injuries.

Law enforcement sources tell us officers took a blood sample from Helms at the hospital to check his blood alcohol level at the time of the crash ... but it could take several months to get the results back.

So far, we're told an investigation is underway ... but no charges have been filed against Helms.

Bitter Hurricane Helms Blasts Shawn Michaels and Praises Triple H

During a recent episode of his “Highway 2 Helms” show on GeekWeekLive, former WWE star Hurricane Helms had less than flattering things to say about Shawn Michaels. During the show, Helms was asked who his least favorite wrestler of all time was and said it was Michaels adding that he really let him down in person:

“Shawn let me down in so many ways. I think his religious gimmick is a f*cking work. I think he is the biggest hypocrite in the business. And so many people sh*t on Triple H. Triple H always treated me as an equal. He was always up front with me. He was always honest with me. I worked with him and I teamed with Shawn. His ring work – I’m not discounting that. His matches with The Undertaker at Wrestlemania – those will be some of the greatest matches to ever go down ever, ever, ever. But him as a person, that whole religious sh*t, I think it is a f*cking work. I think he is a hypocrite. He is the biggest hypocrite in this business. I think he believes part of it. But at the same time, you have to live that life. If you are going to preach it, you have to f*cking live it. And he is tweeting all the time about hunting and I’m thinking, dude, you are f*cking rich. Why are you murdering animals? You have millions of dollars and you are out there murdering animals because it makes you happy? Oh yeah, Jesus would do that. I read the Bible and saw Jesus with a f*cking rifle on his shoulder. F*ck you. He is one of the biggest hypocrites I’ve ever seen...More?
