I miss these Stevie Richards "What Went Wrong/Right" videos. My knees and ankles hurt seeing that landing.
The worst was when Sid broke his leg in WCW.
Ass
Copeland's out here snapping his leg trying to get over. Meanwhile Christian is red hot with nothing more than a sleeveless turtleneck and a paternal mindset.
Who’s better now?
So glad the What went wrong series is back. This is one of the few UA-cam series out there in the wrestling community that wants to actually help their contemporaries and improve the safety of the workers.
Randy Savage in WCW did a similar leap off the top of a steel cage and landed on his feet; he was supposed to land a double axehandle on Hulk Hogan , but the Hulkster pulled a "catching you off the top of the cage doesn't work for me, brother" and Savage's legs folded like a cheap lawn chair when he landed.
To this day, I still have no idea how Savage didn't break his legs or wreck both his knees on that leap.
yeah that was worse fall .he migt got some torn muscles . which heals reltively fast
WHAT WENT WRONG: EDGE THOUGHT THIS WAS 2002. Which in his entire career has neve done any spot like this off a cage.
I never saw much in Edge. Christian did nearly all the big bump when he teamed and Christian was the better wrestler imo. Started tuning out by the time he went solo and saw the begining to the R Rated Superstar gimick and that was about it.
All these old timers are going to AEW and damn near crippling themselves doing stuff that they shouldn't be doing. It's really like there's no quality control going on. Like, is there nobody who helps set the matches up that can say "Maybe you shouldn't do this?". The constant need for high spots just raises risk and brings down the quality of the product.
@@fingersTitan Edge was always a glorified midcarder to me (a midcard-level talent who consistently got main event-level pushes). When I heard about him retiring the first time, my kneejerk reaction was THANK GOD. Nothing against him personally, I just think he's a crashing bore and it's a shame that it took a horrible neck injury to stop him from being incessantly rammed down everyone's throat.
He wanted one more memorable moment other than the spear off the ladder
@@planetschlock He was a main eventer because there were no other stars left.
Adam Copeland said he signed to AEW to have fun. Here he is having fun. Wonder what he will do for fun next.
His wife
Watching live, I had no idea wtf Edge was trying to do. The next day, I had idea wtf Edge was trying to do. Now it's been over a month, and I STILL don't know wtf Edge was trying to do. At least the table broke!
The table seemed too close to splash him
This is what i missed most of Stevies channel, showing what went wrong/right. It shows his wisdom and knowledge of the business from the inside, such a valuable perspective.
What went wrong? Middle-aged man trying to re-live his glory days. How about at that age, have standard safe wrestling matches. He already proved himself.
There's a reason why WWE probably didn't let him do a spot like that in the cage match with Balor at Mania 39.... No need to be jumping off the top of cages at 50 years old with the list of injuries hes had over the years. Just go out there have the match use a few of the gimmicks and go home
Bro, Edge, bro got so much attention bro. This got views and likes bro.. car crash TV is the future bro - Russo probably
@@ren17x50IT'S EN-TER-TAIN-MENT!!!
"But it was the feud-ending match, after their epic rivalry of 20 minutes. It *needed* a moment like this!!"
I believe Russo did a video with Al Snow and if I'm correct, he said the opposite. Russo was not thrilled about this. @@ren17x50
I am happy for you two starting this podcast. Stevie is a real one.
It’s great to see Stevie Richards doing this kind of content. I’m glad he found a spot to get back in the wrestling bubble. He was underrated and deserved more. Always been a fan of Big Stevie Cool.
I love these videos from Stevie. But to sum it up: "What went wrong?" Edge jumped off the top of a frikin' cage and landed on his feet, on a platform mainly supported by wood and metal.
Dude's crankin out content like its nothin gotta love it
"What went wrong"
Dude pin dropped onto 50 yo legs.
His legs were trying to escape back up his own ass
20 year old legs would be destroyed after that. Edge is out of gis mind and not in a good way.
Due has made his money, he has won his championships and is getting paid even more money in AEW. The fact he even felt the need to do this shows the AEW culture is toxic to the point veterans feel they have to do this......which is why they needed CM Punk. CM Punk called out BS like this and was against this from the beginning.
Great to see James and Stevie collaborating.
Slapnut
Edge had a perfect send-off in WWE. He's one of my favorites of all time but Edge in AEW is just kinda sad.
A lot of wrestlers do not know when to hang it up. The fact Edge would even go to AEW to become a midcard champion is just asinine. And he destroyed his leg over a midcard championship, in a midcard feud..........dude could have did all this while going to NXT and fighting against the younger guys.
Great job Stevie and James. I like the combo of you two
Why is Stevie Richard’s not an agent somewhere? It’s criminal
To me the issue was pretty obvious what went wrong: he didn't commit. He hesitated, landed on his feet, and hurt himself.
I'm glad these are back. Thank goodness. We'll done guys
I LOVE THESE. So cool seeing it on this channel too
It's great to have this series back and having a two-person team talk about is a big improvement too.
Great collab guys
What went wrong:
Edge didn’t retire after his Match with Sheamus in WWE and instead chose to slum it up in AEW.
Adam Copeland has been having great matches in AEW. Don't be a loser tribalistic moron.
Slum is still overselling it for that company.
I hope Tony gave him plenty of hugs
Probably gave him something else that rhymes with hugs.
@@STC987 zing!
About 30 years ago I stepped off a piece of industrial equipment and misjudged the distance to the ground. I ended up jamming my leg and my back. Watching this clip brought back the memory of that shooting pain up my spine as if it happened 30 seconds ago.
It is hard to compare jumping off a cage onto another person to just about anything else, but hesitation or pulling back can get you seriously hurt in a lot of sports. Happens all the time on the MTB trail - people panic brake at the base or lip of a jump and lose all their forward momentum, usually resulting in a long drop or a face first slam. I don't know if the spot was supposed to be an elbow or a splash, but fear definitely took over.
In a way, Sting doing what he was doing in AEW in his early 60's really set the bar at an unrealistic level.Guys with as many miles as Adam and Sting have no business doing these stunts anymore.
What went wrong is he went up there to do that in the first place. Horrible idea.
What went wrong is that it should have never happened.
Some many spots these days are so very risky but garner next to no reaction.
Ther are so many dives, high flying spots nowadays that they no longer feel special.
The Big E accident is a prime example where the spot was risky but hardly anybody would've noticed if not for the accident.
Back in the day I was awestruck with the dives and cool spots because they were special. Now I instead long for some old school ground based wrestling, rest holds and all. 😅
Expert here- I’m 6’4 and 2nd guessed a ladder…fell 15 ft and leg dropped a mini golf pirate. No injuries to me. The Pirate?🏴☠️💥
Agree with stevie, the Gangrel appearance kind of made the dive redundant. Adam copeland also shouldn't need to do these spots at this point in his career. Especially after the neck injury forcing him to retire.
What you said
If the dive wasn't the finish of the match, regardless of Gangrel appearing or not, it was a useless spot.
What went right?
Matt Hardy 2005: KILL OR BE KILLED, ADAM!
Adam Copeland 2024: I'll give it a shot...
This looked brutal!!!! I heal far slower at 44 than I did at 14, 24, and 34. He is 50!!!
He landed on Chris Nowinsky head with his butt doing a leg drop causing Nowinsky a concussion
Short synopsis:
“He left WWE for AEW”
He did a half-Sid
But Adam Copeland has a full brain
@@adamirishconundrum851 Does he though?! He NEVER should have even tried to do this spot!
Would be a decent heal move to climb to the top and then climb back down
What went wrong is Edge decided to sign a contract with aew.
Sting is a bad example once saw him tarzan swing around a cage.
At 50 years old with a history of bad injurys there's just no need to go out there and do stuff like that. The match was a midcard title match against a midcard guy in a match that was already gimmicked up to the gills with a cage full of weapons and barbwire. It was a hat on a hat already so it was pointless doing that spot
Typical TK cocaine booking
Adam Copeland has lost his Edge.
Pressure from Mr. Nose candy khan.
That's what happened.
Place is a JOKE
I'm not just saying this cuz this is his channel or whatever I always thought Stevie was f****** underrated as f***I thought he was awesome as good as Shawn Michaels taller healthier-looking and could kick 🦵 just as good
15:36 Stevie makes a good point here, you’ve gotta protect people from themselves sometimes because otherwise they might end up biting off more than they can chew and do something needlessly dangerous
More of this. Way more of this.
I'm already seeing the logic behind this collaboration between Stevie and WSI. Would love to see fragile Tony and his referee/social media coordinator/cart horse copyright strike a channel belonging to someone who knows how to counterclaim bogus strikes.
I’m pretty sure he was trying an. Elbow drop not a regular splash
With barbed wire involved. It was a stupid spot that didn't need to be done, especially if it wasn't the finish.
I wanted to be in the buisness. Stevie once nicely as ever anyone said no in philly. Lol. Thank u stevie. Now i have a career i can retire from. Philly honest tough love love u!
Stevie prob dont remember but u my fav for being a philly guy. Helped someone that dont belong being saved from new jack. U the man stevie!
I could seriously listen to him when he does these videos... even getting my first foot in the wrestling business... I'll sit and take notes 😅
Can't believe Horseface hasn't tried to copyright strike this video yet.
Neigh!
This year I had a much smaller fall than this and landed straight on my right heel. Couldn't walk right for a month and 3 months later, my knee is still aching and I'm only 25, though granted I didn't break anything. Can't imagine someone double my age going through twice the fall I had, it's unthinkable the amount of pain he's in. He wanted a memorable moment and he ironically got it. Could be the last thing in his career and for what?
He climbed to the top and when he jumped he said to himself "Oh dear!"
Your bones and muscles are two different things. I don't care how much TRT you are on, your bone density starts to decline as you approach 50.
Absolutely ridiculous and unnecessary spot for a wrestler of any age, let alone someone in their 50s. Shocking that Adam thought this was a good idea with all of his experience.
No one thought about the spot beforehand. Edge got up there and improvised.
It’s scary to think what weight Adam was crashing down on his ankle at? 😣
Looks like he planned a splash but pivoted to an elbow drop at the very last minute
How long till this is taken down?
AEW! AEW! AEW!
They made sure to use fan cam footage so they shouldn't be able to take it down
At least we got to see it before it gets copyrighted
@@oakT800 gotcha
What went wrong? A 50-year-old who once retired because of broken neck, with no high-flying experience tried to do an overdone spot that is dangerous for wrestlers in their prime. He failed and broke his legs
He didn't need to do this. I like Edge and still think he's got a little still left in the tank but yeah, horrible idea. Wish him the best.
Il show you. You see!
What went wrong? He’s in his 50s and jumped off the top of a cage. Lesson over -thanks for watching!
When Edge first signed with WWE they were constantly comparing him to Sting online. I wouldn't be surprised if TK didn't suggest this spot. All he had to do was say "Sting did all kinds of crazy dives for us."
I don't think he was looking to do a splash, I think its an elbow drop (although maybe he changed it on the fly realising he wasn't going to be over Black enough to make a Splash work.)
To me, it looks like his going for an elbow drop, but is so worried about landing on his hip or back that he decides to go almost straight down and maybe roll through. But theres a person and a table preventing his momentum rolling forward at all, he lands entirely on his leg and his tibia just go "fuck this i'm out bye"
What went wrong was that Adam Copeland climbed up there to begin with. It was all downhill from there.
Maven's channel brought me here
James never noticed how yoked you were no diddy.
Over/under on the copyright strike? I have it at a week
Excellent analysis!!! You know most men get smarter as they get older. That's why they call them "wise old men". This does not seem to be the case with some professional wrestlers like Edge. Time to hang up the boots and retire Edge. Your ego is not your amigo.
It was like he changed his mind the second he left the cage, and just kinda gave up in mid-air lol. I hope he recovers quickly and doesn't have any lasting complications...
he is 50, there is no quick recovery at that age
@@floggyWM1 Or not having lasting complications.
WWE cages usually have a platform in the corners for the wrestlers to jump off of. Didn't seem like that AEW cage have much for him to stand on up there to get footing to get a jump off 😢
what went wrong is edge's intelligence left the building that night
Why is a 50 year old guy even trying this ? Not nessisary
Necessary*
@@garymaidman625 I knew that was coming.
@@distantstorm3808 I couldn't resist 🤷
@@garymaidman625 Yes, and it was absolutely nessisary on this occasion.
@@distantstorm3808 indeed
Oh! So THIS is why the TNT title was vacant at Forbidden Door?! He was the champ right? I haven't watched a lot of AEW lately because WWE has been so much better than it has been for quite some time.
50 and leaps off cage are not really optimal u hope edge has a grasp for the obvious. But then he created the Sumerslsmfeud with V1, also Edge always jumped off things like that just like when he leapeed off the ladder to ric flair but it was not as high in 2006
Wtf was Edge thinking?! He's lucky he didn't kill himself!
Well... As I understand it Edge actually left WWE because they didn't gave him enough matches (one of the reasons at least).
another case of just because Terry Funk could wrestle in his fifties doesnt mean you can
That was a bad jump off the cage, he should have done a splash and Black was even looking up and moving his arms before the spot.
and Brisco did the same thing this weekend...but he got lucky.
I think Edge was at a point that he wanted to break his legs 🦵 to get paid time off.The guy is up there on age.
Thought he wasn't doing this anymore. Hope Edge is ok, he's just following his passion at first I was critical but if it's what he wants to do then whatever
What happened was a wrestler started to second guess what he was going to do and should NOT have done it, as I believe was said in the video, especially after starting to have seconds thoughts.
I think he wanted to get his hands down to brace himself on Black and the table when he hit (think of it like you are looking down giving a diamond cutter signal to your cat) - But once he jumped his hands involuntarily wanted to go up towards his face and neck - and he was unable to override that mentally so it was straight down to the mat.
Every time ive come down like that, one of my knees has clocked me in the jaw. I hate that.
What went wrong? It’s AEW, nuff said.
3.3k views and not taken down yet.
This is the 1st time I've seen this clip & let me say LMAO!!!!!! I mean, I'm glad Edge is ok, but LMMFAO!!!!!!!!
Wtf was the old man thinking
I saw Kevin Owens at msg on smackdown do the swanton from the top of the tunnel and I was thinking man I hope he didnt break anything. He's 40 years old, these guys think they're still in their 20s
The idiot tried to jump off a cage...that's what went wrong. guy has 30 years or so in the business and he thinks he has to rely on backyard stunts to tell a story?
I'm disappointed with edge considering he's already a freaking veteran of the business and he should been the most knowledgeable there whether a spot is stupid or not, yet here we are. It's not even worth the risk and he doesn't even need to prove anything to anyone anymore. I'm just glad a sid vicious situation didn't happen to him.
Wasn't there barbed wire involved in this spot too? I heard that he intentionally dropped like this because he didn't want to hurt himself by diving onto barbed wire from that height.
This kind of makes me laugh considering I saw a Kayfabe Commentaries comment thread where someone called Stevie a "discount Edge."
I would think even taking a splash from that height would be dangerous. 200+ pound man coming down from 18 feet.
Say what we want about WWE, they would never have given this a green light.
I thought Edge was smarter than this. That jump was one of the dumbest things I saw in wrestling. Sadly, no one in AEW has balls enough to tell him and Malakai to not do that spot. Especially if you have something bigger coming after the spot. So dumb and Adam paid for it!
So. I love the what went wrong videos! Don't get me wrong. Stevie is the best! BUT I feel like I don't need to watch this one. Bc the answer to what Edge did wrong was: doing the spot at all.
