Chris Bey’s Comeback.
Chris Bey Update
Late last year, Chris Bey was sadly injured in a tag team match on a TNA Wrestling taping on October 27, 2024. He injured his neck, and was paralyzed at the time. Lots of questions surrounded Chris and his career, as he had a long road to recovery ahead. Now, Rob Van Damn provided an update on his 1 of a Kind podcast.
Chris Bey happens to live very close to us. Katie and I went and visited him because he made it home. He was stuck in the hospital for like two months. He had a match, if you don’t know, with the Hardy Boyz. I know very little about it, but they were going for a move that didn’t work out safely, and Chris broke his neck and then he was paralyzed. I don’t know how much we should talk about, really, but let me just say that he’s going to wait until he’s ready to talk. Of course, I invited him on here. He is much better than I imagined and much better than he was when he was paralyzed. So, he’s not (paralyzed) anymore, and he’s getting everything back. He’s going to make a come back too, a full comeback, I’m sure of it but it’s going to be a long journey, and we’ll probably check in with him a lot because, like I said, he lives really close.
RVD continued on to reveal that he spoke to Chris about a number of other wrestlers who suffered neck injuries like Hayabusa and Droz.
I told him when Hayabusa would come around, and he was in the wheelchair, and he couldn’t move his limbs. I don’t know exactly if he could move his arms or not, regardless, I would have… I guess, the closest thing to can compare this feeling to would be survivor’s remorse. Like, ‘Why him? Like, why not me? How’s he looking at me taking those DDTs and all those crazy high-risk bumps? Is he looking at me like, ‘What an a–hole’? He doesn’t realize I can’t even f—king move anymore? ‘What does he need to stop it?’ That was part of the experience when I’d see Droz (Darren Drozdov) as well, He’s got an awesome girlfriend to help him too. That’s really important, Brittnie Brooks, she’s a wrestler. She’s a sweetheart and she’s there helping him and I think moved in with him. That’s definitely going to be a big help. I feel good about his current health and his future,
It’s very good news to hear that Chris Bey is making positive progress in his recovery. We wish him the best and hope that a full recovery is on the horizon!
