The guy need to remember he’s 50 years old at time, still hope it’s a speedy recovery.

Looks like he was going for a splash or an elbow drop and changed his mind out of fear at the last minute.

Don't this company have respected guys like Arn Anderson and Dean Malenko producing these matches? Are they so checked out they won't even tell people that doing certain things is fucking stupid? Old man Edge who's botched table splashes seemingly alot recently doing it off their cage? How about no fucking way......pair that up with darby Allin's nose being a pin cushion that could've easily been his eyes......the people supposedly in charge should have the balls to tell these guys to not do something re fucking cockulous and fundamentally stupid.

That's the thing though, they might have told him "no, you shouldnt do this" and he either insisted that it was a good idea or he got TK involved.

Was certain this was the likely scenario right when he landed how he did.
Yep, thought the same. That landing was nasty. Reminded me of Savage landing from the cage back in the WCW, just with Randy didn't pulverizing his legs somehow.

Must've hung around Doot Doot Doot too long and thought up something crazy but instead of getting Jeff to do it, he did it himself......atleast that's what I think based off the stories he told on the old E&C podcast.

Copeland was a guest on Friday’s episode of Busted Open Radio. During the interview, he was asked about the mindset for his character going forward and if he’ll be starting a new chapter when he returns. The 50-year-old Copeland said that, at this point in his career, he thinks each injury adds something to his “grizzled vet” persona.

“Part of me goes, ‘Well, you recreate yourself.’ But each injury kind of adds itself to the character that I was already portraying, which — to be honest — is not that far removed from me at this point,” Copeland said.

“I don’t know how much I change, honestly. I think it’s just one more instance of, like, grizzled vet fighting back from another one.”

Copeland pointed to Chris Jericho’s new “Learning Tree” character as an example of successful recreation, but he doesn’t expect to follow a similar path right now.

“There’s something to recreation,” he said. “I just don’t know if this is the instance for that with me.”

Copeland’s fractured tibia happened when he jumped off the steel cage and landed feet-first while putting Black through a table. On Busted Open Radio, Copeland joked that it was “less a leap and more a fall.” Your brain tells you that you can do it, but — when you land — your body remembers it’s 50. He was hopeful the injury wasn’t too bad. It didn’t hurt too much, but the emergency room told him his leg was broken and he needed to get off of it.

Copeland admits that the risk he took jumping off the cage was not a necessary one. But he’s happy that he was able to finish the match and hopes it was a reminder of what Malakai Black and the rest of House of Black bring to the table.

“I think I could have got the same mileage if I did it off the top rope. So, live and learn. But at the same time, I finished the match,” Copeland said.

“Hopefully also throughout this story, it’s a reminder of what [Malakai] Black brings to the table. And kind of just let people understand, ‘Oh yeah, by the way, there’s this group of badasses that have an insane presentation.’ So, a few missions accomplished and a setback.”
