OVW referee Dallas Edwards shares health update following injury
OVW referee Dallas Edwards gave an update on his health following a scary incident on Thursday.
On social media, Edwards wrote that he is suffering from a concussion and a subdural hematoma following the in-ring incident and will take some time away to get his health and life back in order. He said that he will get a CT scan on Saturday morning and if everything goes well, he will be heading home then.
“I appreciate all of the support everyone has been offering but as far as money goes, I am grateful to be in a position that I can manage an accident like this,” he said. “In lieu of donations, I instead implore all of my fellow workers to get some sort of training in assisting another’s life. Being in the position before, it’s very important to be educated in all scenarios relating to injury, illness, or condition in the ring, especially when we’re performing.”
“I am not mad at anyone or anything other than the situation as a whole, and that I’ve been sitting for about 24 hours straight in a hospital lol,” he added.
During a multi-man match at OVW Rise, Edwards did planned spot where he was to take a Phenomenal Forearm. That spot didn’t go as planned, with Edwards taking a hard fall on impact. He remained on the ground until he started to convulse. Despite this, the match continued as planned with one of the wrestlers pushing Edwards out of the way with their foot so Edwards wouldn’t be in the path for the next spot. The match was eventually stopped and the show went off the air as Edwards got medical attention.
