OVW referee Dallas Edwards remains hospitalized in Louisville, Kentucky, despite expectations he would be released today according to WDRB TV, the FOX channel 41 affiliate.
The station covered the incident that saw Edwards end up in a seizure this past Thursday at OVW Rise after taking a bad bump in the ring with the match continuing for two minutes around him.
Edwards' mother was interviewed for the piece, commenting, "I'm not upset about the bump. Dallas knows how to fall, and he has trained as a wrestler. What I'm concerned about is the lack of preparation OVW had when a medical emergency like this happened. Nobody stopped the match. They are wrestling over top of my child as he seizes."
Tammy Edwards said the video was tough to watch and said, "How do you treat another human being like that?" Edwards said watching the video, she felt that no one cared about her son and also stated no one from the company contacted her to let her know he was being taken to the hospital. She stated she learned from a family friend who was sitting in the crowd.
Louisville Mayor Craig Greenberg has an ownership stake in OVW, but his Press Secretary issued a statement to the station noting, "Mayor Greenberg is no longer involved in the operations of OVW. We are, of course, sorry to hear about this injury."
It should be noted that FOX 41's Gilbert Corsey is formerly an OVW announcer.
