As noted before, Chris Bey has been out of action for TNA Wrestling since this past October due to a neck injury and surgery.

A recent episode of the Busted Open Radio podcast featured Ace Austin as the guest. One of the topics discussed included Austin providing an update on his tag team partner Bey’s recovery from his injury.

“He’s (Chris Bey) doing so good. It’s really amazing. His recovery is going flawlessly… He’s such an unbelievable fighter and he’s so strong and it’s amazing, you know? Things were tough for a while and we weren’t sure how the recovery process was gonna move along but we were all optimistic and we were all hopeful, and like I said, he is so strong and he’s so motivated. He’s back in Vegas. He got out of the rehab center in Detroit back in — at the end of December. So he’s been in Vegas for almost a month and that’s going really well and he’s stoked to be home and just… I can’t wait for him to tell his story. It’s gonna be the greatest story ever told. I’m really excited for him and I wish I could say more.”
