Ohio Valley Wrestling (OVW) has addressed Thursday\u2019s incident at the Davis Arena, where a referee experienced a medical episode during a live match.<\/p>\n

A video of the incident circulated on Thursday, where referee Dallas Edwards appeared to be having a seizure after taking a bump in a \u2018Four Corners of Chaos\u2019 match at the Davis Arena in Louisville, Kentucky.<\/p>\n

The story has drawn heavy criticism as the match continued and included a performer moving Edwards out of the way when he clearly needed medical attention.<\/p>\n

OVW released a statement<\/a> on Friday afternoon:<\/p>\n

Last night during Rise, referee Dallas Edwards \u2013 a member of our OVW family \u2013 experienced a medical emergency during the broadcast. OVW takes the health and well-being of all our performers extremely seriously, and as a company, we are all distraught to see an injury to one of our own.<\/p>\n

Dallas is alert and doing much better. We ask everyone to keep him in your thoughts and prayers and respect his and his family\u2019s privacy at this time.<\/p>\n

We will provide an update as soon as it is available, but in the meantime, we wish Dallas a speedy recovery, and we can\u2019t wait until he\u2019s back with our OVW family very soon.<\/p>\n

Edwards\u2019 girlfriend issued a statement<\/a> and called it a \u2018brain injury\u2019 that he sustained and was being monitored by doctors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Photo Courtesy: OVW Ohio Valley Wrestling (OVW) has addressed Thursday\u2019s incident at the Davis Arena, where a referee…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":204319,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[102,80209,104,103,80477,80210],"class_list":["post-204318","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-dallas","tag-dallas","tag-dallas-edwards","tag-dallas-headlines","tag-dallas-news","tag-ohio-valley-wrestling","tag-ovw"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/204318","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=204318"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/204318\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/204319"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=204318"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=204318"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=204318"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
