Richards praised Copelands physical condition and called him an incredible performer. However, he also expressed concern that continuing to wrestle would just tarnish Copelands Hall of Fame legacy.
Richards acknowledged that Copeland is likely doing it for a massive payday, and admitted he would too, but added that the legacy Copeland believes hes building with this run might not be remembered in the way he hopes.
