Chris Bey appreciates all of the support he’s received as he recovers from a serious neck injury.
TNA Wrestling posted a statement from Bey on Tuesday where he thanked everyone in the promotion, his friends and family, the fans, and the medical staff that has treated him. Bey knows the journey ahead will be “long and challenging” — but he is grateful to have everyone praying for him.
“I just want to take a few moments to extend my heartfelt thanks and deepest appreciation for so much and to so many over the past few days. From everyone at TNA Wrestling, to the incredible medical staff here in Detroit, to family, friends and fans worldwide,” Bey said. “I know you have been praying for my full recovery from the in-ring accident this past Sunday. Monday was Day One for me on this journey, which I know will be long and challenging. Thanks again for the love and support, and please keep the prayers coming!”
Bey’s injury happened during a tag team match against The Hardys at TNA’s post-Bound for Glory television taping in Detroit on Sunday. After being stretchered out, he was taken to the hospital and underwent surgery.
On Monday, TNA issued a statement saying that Bey was in “good spirits” and would remain in Detroit in the hospital for a few more days.
A GoFundMe campaign has been started to financially assist Bey during his recovery.
