Any idea at what point in the match he broke it? The flip dive off the top to the floor two minutes in, apparently. Which, for anyone else, would be a tragic way to injure your foot in a risky spot. But it’s Darby so it feels like the least exciting way of it happening.

Never been happier to hear someone's broken their foot. I'm gonna be honest, some of what Darby said in his promo did make me worry that he was going up there maybe not with a sense that mortality was possible but potentially as an outcome he'd be at peace with? I don't know, he seemed to linger on the idea of death in a very "I'm not above throwing myself off the peak" kind of way, might just be me being grim. Either way, him being off of Everest time for a year and doing wrestling again means he can taken normal risks like juggling dynamite sticks during moonsaults and doing skateboard leaps over the open mouths of dragons.

That broken foot probably saves his life. Unless he somehow tries to climb Everest with a broken foot.

Darby strikes me as someone who think it's better to die young living life to the fullest than old and decrepit in a bed.

I can 100% see this dude being dumb enough to try and limp up there with one foot. Maybe this is a sign from above saying “don’t do it, bro.”

This is basically the equivalent of Tom Cruise doing 5000 dumb stunts in the MI movies to prove a point then breaking his ankle because of a badly timed jump.

Between Punk breaking his ankle during a dive to the crowd, Adam Cole's ankle break at Grand Slam, and now Darby's injury... lots of odd ankle break injuries in AEW.

On the WWE side with freak injuries happening off minor things, there's Shotzi jumping down from the apron doing a DDT, and possibly Asuka after apron interference on Smackdown.

Darby strikes me as someone who think it's better to die young living life to the fullest than old and decrepit in a bed. People have been talking for years about the idea Ric Flair wants to die in the ring, something that obviously took on a very scary tenor after his "Last Match" had him seem like he was doing just that. And that's the case of a broke and broken old man who can't let go and can't stop dragging himself through paydays. But Darby gives me a very "I want to go out in a blaze of glory and die doing what I love" energy that makes me worry he's also got an idea floating around in his head about dying in the ring that would be just as harmful and horrifying.
