Rick Hazzard was a ref in WCCW and also wrestled, so I don't think he took much crap, or got knocked out very much

Wrestling could definitely use a Herb Dean/John McCarthy type ref who looks like he could kick ass if you go out of line. Would make a cool new dynamic in matches.

No. It could use more cheating, and/or heels trying to intimidate refs to look more like bad guys. Besides, if a ref seemed like a threat to a wrestler...why isn't he a wrestler? Also, why would a scripted show do something to make their fighters look less impressive? Refs should be a small average joe.

Honestly, I'm so sick of the shitty WWE product, I'd be down for absolutely anything that feels new, fresh and interesting.

Ya I'm not sayin refs should be intimidating but they shouldn't fall down when the wrestlers look at them either..

If you're a long-time wrestling fan, "tough ref" sounds like a contradiction in terms.

Bryce can hold his own in most matches (albeit more in the comedy match sense), and if we wanna count it, Drake Younger being a ref now.

I want them to capitalize on Drake's wrestling past so that he can be that "tough ref". I think a NXT/WWE crowd would pop whether they knew his background or not if he got bumped...... and got back up.

Paul Turner gets a next world champ chant at every ROH show I go to, should count for something. I remember it's because of a fan altercation.
