>I knew something was wrong immediately. I mean, we were told earlier in the day, "Listen, don't go near the glass! No pyro tonight. No fireworks because this is sugar glass. It will break. It will crack. It will ruin the whole gimmick of the match!"
>When we were wrestling and I went to throw Shane in and he didn't go through it, I thought, "Man, that is some hard sugar glass!"
>Unfortunately, they called the magic, the stunt guy, I guess that's the term they used for the stuff he put together for matches and he gets the equipment. He ultimately ordered the wrong glass or they sent the wrong glass. They said it was sugar glass but it was actually plexiglass. If I had known that, we never would have went through it.
>Shane had multiple, you know, fifty, sixty stitches. He got cut up pretty well. We both ended up in the hospital that night. It was the most brutal match I ever had been in. Unfortunately for Shane, I didn't know what to do. The second time I threw him through the glass, he wouldn't go through and I literally threw him face first. Had I known that was plexiglass, I never would have done that to him! Even myself, when I threw him through and my arm followed through, the glass went into my arm and I was cut up pretty badly.
>That was probably one of the most dangerous things I had ever done. I don't know anybody who has ever gone through plexiglass on purpose! That was, well, it wasn't a dumb move, it was just the wrong stuff.
