Over Bound for Glory weekend, TNA Wrestling celebrated Chris Bey by honoring him with one of the company’s All Star Awards.
It was nearly one year ago in October 2024 that Bey suffered a broken neck in an in-ring accident while competing for TNA. The injury was scary and Bey was given little chance to walk again, but he is back on his feet and has the long-term hope that he’ll be able to wrestle again one day.
Bey was in Lowell, Massachusetts for TNA Bound for Glory weekend and even made an appearance on the pay-per-view broadcast. Before the show, TNA President Carlos Silva presented Bey with an All Star Award that TNA has started to give out at its big events. The award celebrates people who make significant contributions to TNA on screen or backstage.

“Chris walked in, and Chris was different than he was 3-4 months ago when I saw him,” Silva said about seeing Bey. “Chris was now not just a guy that had been injured and was working to get better, it was like he was back. And the way he was moving, and the way that, of course, he was smiling, and the positive energy that he gives off — it felt so good for me to see that. And so, Chris, we’re so happy that you’re here and here to celebrate and hopefully to break the [TNA North American attendance] record with us tonight.”
Bey dedicated the award to everyone in TNA and shared the good news that he has been discharged from physical therapy.
“I’ll keep it simple: obviously, this award belongs to all of us. God is great. I’ve had a tough year, but a fun year still, because I like journeys,” Bey said. “I like the difficulty because it makes for great stories. But, also, I like to watch what you guys do because it motivates me, it makes me work harder. So every time I see you guys breaking records or doing great shows, doing great business with other companies, it helps me push my next workout. It helps me push my next therapy session. Which, I did officially just get discharged from physical therapy. But it takes a village. So you guys keep doing what you do. I’ll keep doing what I do. And together we’ll keep winning. I love you all.”
Bey told ESPN this summer that, while out of action, he would like to use his talents to help contribute behind the scenes and help other wrestlers. He is a three-time TNA Tag Team Champion, having held the titles with Ace Austin, who is now in AEW.
