Chris Bey has lifted the lid on whether he will ever wrestle again or if he career is over after his horrendous injury.
The TNA star suffered a gruesome injury at the end of 2024, which turned the wrestling world on its head. He suffered a neck injury during a match after TNA Bound for Glory and the bout was called off as he was sent to the hospital.
He suffered the injury after a routine neck breaker, and there were fears he may never walk again. Miraculously, he walked out to the ring during a recent benefit show to bring hope that his career could one day be reignited.
Speaking on Insight with Chris Van Vliet, Chris Bey was asked if he would ever wrestle again. The TNA star refused to rule it out, even though he was content with retiring after having surgery on his neck.
Chris Bey On If He’ll Ever Wrestle Again
“Never say never, right? The day after day one, the day after the surgery, I was very content and understanding that my career was over. I didn’t see a world where I came back to wrestling. I was laying there, couldn’t move anything from the neck down.”
“It felt like I had passed away, because there’s all this love for me online, they say you get your flowers when you’re gone. There’s all this love for me online that everyone’s telling me about and everyone’s calling me and having people reach out to me who I’ve never my wildest dreams imagined reach out to me. “
“They’re making video packages about me. It was like I was watching and spectating my life and my life is now over, and wrestling is my life. It was my life. In that moment I was like okay, wrestling is over.
“That broke me, and that drove me more than anything because I had a great eight years in wrestling. Eight years, that was it, but I did so much in eight years that lived my wildest dreams. I feel like I made an impact on the world. I was able to help train, coach and motivate people who are in the game today.
“It’s a dream career, if it had to end, if it’s over now, cool. I want to walk, I want to stand, I want to be able to function. And then maybe a couple weeks ago now I’m walking again and I’m back in the gym. I told my girl, I was like, what if I do wrestle again one day? I’m still young. What if I took five years off, if I took four years off and came back in my mid-30s? It’s possible. It’s been done before. Nothing’s impossible, and that’s where the greatest story ever told is born.”
