anada Update on Ohio Wrestler Injured at ROH Event in Canada B.j. Whitmer suffered a serious injury while taking a piledriver during a match against Michael Bennett at the Ring of Honor event in Toronto. A fan in attendance at the event sent in the following:“BJ Whitmer just got taken out on a stretcher after taking a piledriver on the edge of the ring. They abruptly stopped the match and he got medical attention for a good 15 minutes.A few wrestlers (Brian Kendrick and Jay Lethal) came out looking really worried. It didn’t look like a work to me. They shut all the cameras off and were scrambling around trying to find the best way to take the stretcher out. Then they made an announcement that he was going to get medical attention and they would update us.”Arda Ocal was also at the event and noted that security prevented fans from walking into the hallway as Whitmer was being treated. B.J. Whitmer talked with PWInsider this morning, updating them on the status and severity of his injures suffered at this weekend’s Ring of Honor live event in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.According to their most recent report, Whitmer immediately lost feeling in the right side of his body when his head came down on the ring apron, following a piledriver from Michael Bennett. Several trained EMTs, including Davey Richards, came down to check on him, and the match was then called off as a stretcher took him out of the arena.B.J. is up and moving out of bed, and has regained full use of the right side of his body, and has movement in his back. While he said he is still feeling the pain, movement is definitely a great sign. He will be undergoing a full range of tests today, but X-Rays have already shown that he does not have any fractures, but has most likely ruptured a disc in his back.
