i dont know if you were ever around when wrestling was good or better, but referees played important roles in matches and storylines
so why not?
Sure, I was. Don't deny ref plays a role just not understanding why hearing the name of the ref impacts the match.

Yeah he’s not wrong. For what’s supposed to be a more sports based take on wrasslin, what with the rankings and all that, the relaxed reffing doesn’t fit. It’s especially egregious in tag matches, lest we forget Jericho bytching about the Lucha Bros not using the tag rope.

They gotta tighten up.

Aubrey Is Good But Once She Got Notoriety She Started Hamming It Up Like People Were Watching For Her

It’s supposed to give you suspension of disbelief and if a ref is being fukking inept and not doing the absolute basics then it’s gonna piss people off

fukk outta here with your ol’ decrepit ass high horse “it’s fake so it doesn’t matter” bullshyt
Refs in pro wrestling have been bad at their jobs from day one; its part of the show.

Not sure if he's a mainstay but I saw him in some AEW Botches videos.

Refs being distracted by outside interference isn’t the same as a ref completely failing to do the basics

Are you related to Rick Knox or something? The amount of caping you’re doing in here is pathetic
