I remember when we had doctors, EMTs, and members of security who we knew by name. Sometimes they'd show up as extras in the back or if they were out getting an injured performer out of the ring (EMTs) or escourting people from the ring (security), etc, the commentary team would drop a name. Made the company feel a little more complete and real.

It's really just the refs that they don't mention any more. Sometimes they do mention the ref's names, but not too often. They have never named the EMTs except for Barbara Bush, who was not a real EMT, but a character. The identify doctors from time to time, just like they identified Francois Petit (who was a massage therapist, rather than a doctor) back during the Attitude Era.

 I wish the Warrior award was actually used for what Warrior said, to acknowledge the significant contributions of behind the scenes personnel. |

They mentioned Jim Dotson's name, but not very often. Remember, they wanted to do an angle with him and Blackman at one point. Once they had ideas to use him in angles and eventually work a match, of course they'd mention his name. If you watch most shows during the era, he IS NOT identified by name.

I think they stopped acknowledging the names of the refs (until everyone threw a fit about it) after the Hebners were fired so it would be less of a big deal when any of them left.
