He wasn&#8217;t even sure if he would be able to walk again. At Bound For Glory, the Ultimate Finesser was more than on his feet. TNA President Carlos Silva says: &#8220;When I saw Chris yesterday, Chris was different from the wayAll-Star he was three, four months ago when I saw him. Chris was now not just a guy who had been injured and was working to get better. It was like he was back. The way he was moving, he was smiling, and the positive energy that he gives off, it felt so good for me to see that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>After receiving his All-Star award from Silva&#8217;s hands, Bey said, &#8220;God is great. I&#8217;ve had a tough year, but a fun year still, because I like journeys. 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. So, you guys, keep doing what you do, I&#8217;ll keep doing what I do, and together we&#8217;ll keep winning.&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.ibb.co\/93wSJxjR\/G3-Y8w-QRWw-AAt9vb.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\"><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Courtesy of TNA Wrestling<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>&#8220;Glory belongs to those who never quit.&#8221;<\/h2>\n<p>Later, Bey explained, &#8220;A year ago, the night after Bound for Glory, I broke my neck, I had a double fusion and I was paralyzed for maybe three or four months where there was no certainty of if I was going to walk again through the power of God, prayers, positivity, a lot of good energy, good doctors, medicine, I was able to get back on my feet finally.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There&#8217;s been something about the good energy of what I&#8217;ve been watching through TNA, and this is not a lie.
