Indie star Cole Radrick spoke with Fightful’s Jeremy Lambert and Stephen Jensen on a number of topics related to pro wrestling, including how he is doing since he fractured his tibia.
Radrick said, “It really sucks. Couldn’t have come at a worst time. I miss doing what I love and I miss just going out there and seeing people and seeing people happy and excited. I don’t think we’re going to get back to where we were at. We’re going way past where we were going. We’re about to take the fucking ball and we’re about to run that motherfucker home. I promise you that much. Sitting on the sideline, it just pisses me off. There is a special connection I have with me and my people and the crowd. I feel that’s gotten ripped away from me. Going out there and seeing those people, not only did they feel excited, it’s what made me feel excited and what made me love wrestling. I don’t have that right now. It sucks. It’s an empty feeling.”
On when he knew it was broken and how he wrestled for a month with a broken leg:
“We had an idea. What people saw online was the fracture. What they didn’t see was the stuff from the MRI or the muscles. Long story short, I actually broke my leg back in June. I didn’t think anything of it. I thought I sprained it. I had a week off and the next show I had was GCW Texas. I wrestled, everything seemed okay. I tried to figure out and work around it. Eventually, we came to the three day weekend which was Louisville, St. Louis, and Indy. Come Monday, I couldn’t really walk or move. Went to the ER to figure out why this sprain was hurting as bad as it was. Figured out that I had been wrestling with a broken leg for the better part of a month. My muscles on my legs were overcompensating. Now, it’s all out of sync. It’s a long process. It sucks.”
