Chris Bey issues statement on injury, GoFundMe campaign launched

Chris Bey, who remains hospitalized in Detroit following neck surgery, issued a statement which TNA Wrestling posted on its website and social media properties.

Bey was injured during the Sunday television tapings in a match against The Hardys, just 24 hours after losing the TNA Tag Team titles with his partner Ace Austin.

“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,” Bey wrote. “From everyone at TNA Wrestling, to the incredible medical staff here in Detroit, to family, friends and fans worldwide, I know you have been praying for my full recovery from the in-ring accident this past Sunday.”

Bey added that Monday was “day one” for him on this journey which he knows will be long and challenging.

“Thanks again for the love and support, and please keep the prayers coming,” he concluded.

It was never revealed what kind of injury Bey sustained, except that it was neck related.

A GoFundMe campaign was launched with a target of $100,000 to help Bey. As of this writing, over $70,000 was raised, with individuals like Adam Copeland, Scott D’Amore, Matt Hardy, Chris Jericho, Cody Rhodes, Nick Nemeth, Will Ospreay, Matt Cardona, Mercedes Mone, Jonathan Gresham and Jordynne Grace, Raj Dhesi and others all submitting significant sums.
