Cara Noir Says His Return To Progress Felt ‘Like Seconds’, Not Minutes

Cara Noir talks his return to pro wrestling at Progress: Wrestling Never Sleeps.

Cara Noir discusses his return to Progress last month after over a year away.

Last year at Progress Chapter 151: Heavy Metal, Cara Noir would face off with Spike Trivet for the Progress World Championship inside a steel cage. During the course of this match, Cara would suffer a serious foot injury, one that has kept him out of the ring for over a year. However, at Progress: Wrestling Never Sleeps, Cara made his return to professional wrestling to confront Luke Jacobs and KENTA to close the show.

While speaking to Fightful’s Corey Brennan for an interview recently, Cara noted that the return felt like it lasted only seconds and not minutes.

“Yeah, it was incredible. It’s one of those moments that I’ve been thinking about for the last year and a half. How would I do it? How would I want to be presented the first time I step back out? But from a wrestler’s perspective, people were asking me whether I was nervous backstage, those that knew. I wasn’t nervous. I just thought I might just walk out and no one’s going to care. Because out of sight, out of mind, you never know, right? So as soon as I entered, I kind of went deaf. It was such a weird sensation. As wrestlers, when you first start wrestling, you can’t hear the audience because you’re so focused on what you’re doing. But this time, it was kind of like, oh, I’ve forgotten how to hear the audience. It wasn’t until that I stood in the ring I was like: ‘Ah i’m back, I can hear you’, and it was, if I reflect back on that moment, it felt like seconds. I must have been out there five minutes but it felt like seconds.”

Earlier this week it was announced that Cara will make his return to the ring at Progress: Chapter 171 later this month. You can read more about that here.
