"John Cena did the stunt right, but we prepped for the stunt wrong. And, that metal shelf came over and clocked me in the head," Andre said ... "And, I got concussed." Andre then noted he was taken to the hospital immediately. "I had like a Fred Flintstone, like Bugs Bunny [welt] on the side of my head," he stated.

"I memorized this interview phonetically, actually."
