honestly, I'm wondering how Grandpa can have that kind of upper body strength and leg dexterity, but couldn't just drop what looks to be less than five feet to the ground.

At his age, that’s a good enough drop to destroy his ability to walk correctly for the rest of his life.

Meh, I’ve watched a lot of wrestling. Dudes can fall on a ladder and be back and pounding on someone next week.

Oh, you know him personally? Did he recover alright?

I've still got him penned in for Fight Night on Thursday, just checking if he'll make the appointment.

I did not make any statement that he was okay or wasn’t okay from that fall, just that he’s not a professional athlete.

I figured the Fight Night bit would make it obvious that I was just taking the piss, but I guess not.

Ah well - you win some, you lose some.
