TNAwrestling.com has posted a video clip of the neck injury Chase Stevens (of The Naturals tag team) suffered at the iMPACT! tapings this past week in Orlando. This match will air later tonight on Spike TV.
Stevens also provided the following comment about the situation:
"Well, as everyone knows I have a broken neck. It’s not as bad as one may think, but trust me it could have been much, much worse. My C5 and C6 vertebrae are fractured and it’s going to take a few weeks to heal. A lot of people are wondering what it feels like to have something like this happen to you. Well, to be honest I wasn’t thinking of being hurt when it happened - I was thinking of how to get on my feet and finish my match. It wasn’t until I made the tag to Andy that I had that extra second to realize I couldn’t feel my hands and my back was slowly starting to tingle. I went for The Natural Disaster, only to drop poor Buck on his head and pin him. I sucked it up and made it to the curtain before showing pain of any sort. Today is a new day and I feel a lot better - I have gained all feeling back in my hands and back. I can move my head up and down and side to side. I’m a little sore, but I landed on my head for crying out loud! I’m supposed to be sore...lol I do feel about 95% and feel that I could wrestle now if the doctors would let me. I will be back for the Genesis PPV, so don’t worry I’m not out for long. Thanks you all for your concerns and support it means a lot to me!"
