OVW referee Dallas Edwards home following in-ring incident
Dallas Edwards is home recovering after a scary incident took place during an OVW event last week.
Bryan Alvarez reports that Edwards is now home recovering, writing: “Referee Dallas Edwards went home Sunday and is on the road to recovery! Best wishes to him!”
The injury took place Thursday when Edwards landed badly after taking a phenomenal forearm, causing him to visibly convulse as the match went on. Despite this the match continued for some time, with one wrestler even moving Edwards with his foot so he wouldn’t be in the way. Eventually it was called off and the show went off the air as Edwards got medical attention. Shortly after the incident, it was said he was awake and alert.
Edwards released a statement on social media the following day saying that he suffered a concussion and a subdural hematoma and would be taking some time away to get his health and life back in order.
Co-owner of OVW Al Snow later released a statement saying the company would review “our existing procedures and updating several of our in-ring and ringside protocols to ensure we continue to meet the highest expectations for performer safety.”
