Al Snow is providing another critical update following the frightening OVW in-ring incident that left referee Dallas Edwards hospitalized with a brain bleed, and this time hes laying out exactly how medical staff responded once it became clear something was seriously wrong. The OVW executive addressed growing criticism about response time during an appearance on The Russo Brand podcast, explaining that trained medical personnel were already stationed at ringside but like everyone else, they first had to determine whether Edwards was truly injured or still performing as part of the match. Snow explained that the situation was complicated by the fact that referees normally serve as the primary point of communication when injuries occur. In this case, the referee himself was the one who went down, leaving no immediate confirmation inside the ring about what had actually happened. According to Snow, once the ringside medical professional began evaluating the situation, the response moved quickly but not instantly because there was a brief moment where she needed to determine whether Edwards was actually unconscious or still acting as part of the planned sequence. Snow said that once that realization happened, emergency procedures were immediately set into motion, with instructions given to contact emergency responders without hesitation. He also laid out a detailed timeline of events that followed, pushing back against claims that help was delayed. According to Snow, the ambulance arrived in a matter of minutes, and Edwards was transported to the hospital shortly afterward. Snow continued by explaining that Edwards was quickly placed into emergency care once first responders arrived on the scene. Snow has maintained that the delay in stopping the match was not due to negligence but rather confusion during a rare situation where the referee normally responsible for signaling injuries was the person who needed help. He also indicated that OVW is reviewing its procedures and working on improving communication and emergency response systems moving forward. While the incident remains one of the most frightening moments in recent OVW history, there has been positive news as Edwards continues recovering after receiving hospital treatment. Do you think the medical response timeline explained by Al Snow shows that OVW handled the situation properly, or do you believe more safeguards should always be in place for moments like this?
