Matt Hardy discusses Chris Bey’s injury and says that TNA is taking care of his medical expenses.
Bey suffered a neck injury in a tag team match against The Hardys at the TNA iMPACT tapings on October 27. He then underwent surgery, and he is now on the road to recovery.
Speaking on The Extreme Life of Matt Hardy, the TNA World Tag Team Champion was asked about Chris Bey’s injury.
“It was a very difficult experience, and without going into too much detail or getting into people’s personal business, it was a very freak accident, and it just happened in a way, it was something very standard, there was nothing crazy, there was nothing outlandish or outrageous, there was no high level of risk involved in what was going on,” Matt Hardy said. “It was just a very simple thing. It’s once again a very scary and stark reminder about how dangerous it is, pro wrestling in general. There was a point where Chris was just laying there, once we understood he was in that condition, the match came to an end, and we tried our best to take care of him. He ended up having some emergency surgery that night, and it ended up being productive.
“People think he came out well, he’s on the path to recovering, but it’s gonna be a slow process. I would love for everyone to keep Chris Bey, who is just an amazing guy, such a positive, optimistic, kind human being….I felt very fortunate last night, I got to speak to him. His partner, Ace Austin, has been with him the whole while, and we’ve been staying in contact every single day. I actually got to speak with Chris last night. He’s doing better, he’s improving, slowly but surely. He has an amazing attitude, he has the attitude you need to recover from an injury like this. So send all your thoughts and prayers, and just keep him in your thoughts.”

Hardy also spoke highly of Bey’s optimism will help him in his recovery.
