“Chris Bey happens to live very close to us. Katie and I went and visited him because he made it home. He was stuck in the hospital for like two months. He had a match, if you don’t know, with the Hardy Boyz. I know very little about it, but they were going for a move that didn’t work out safely, and Chris broke his neck and then he was paralyzed.”
He continued:
“I don’t know how much we should talk about, really, but let me just say that he’s going to wait until he’s ready to talk. Of course, I invited him on here. He is much better than I imagined and much better than he was when he was paralyzed. So, he’s not (paralyzed) anymore, and he’s getting everything back. He’s going to make a come back too, a full comeback, I’m sure of it but it’s going to be a long journey, and we’ll probably check in with him a lot because, like I said, he lives really close.”
RVD also shared that he spoke with Bey about Hayabusa suffering a broken neck in 2001 when he slipped on the ropes during a quebrada attempt. Hayabusa was paralyzed but would eventually regain the ability to walk with a cane. They also spoke about Darren “Droz” Drozdov’s injury in October 1999. RVD says he would feel something “almost like survivor’s remorse” around Hayabusa or Droz after their injuries.
“I told him when Hayabusa would come around, and he was in the wheelchair, and he couldn’t move his limbs. I don’t know exactly if he could move his arms or not, regardless, I would have… I guess, the closest thing to can compare this feeling to would be survivor’s remorse. Like, ‘Why him? Like, why not me? How’s he looking at me taking those DDTs and all those crazy high-risk bumps? Is he looking at me like, ‘What an a–hole’? He doesn’t realize I can’t even f—king move anymore? ‘What does he need to stop it?'”
He’s got an awesome girlfriend to help him too. That’s really important,” RVD continued.
“Brittnie Brooks, she’s a wrestler. She’s a sweetheart and she’s there helping him and I think moved in with him. That’s definitely going to be a big help.”
“I feel good about his current health and his future,” RVD concluded about Bey.
