Made my debut as a referee this Saturday (VIDEO UPDATE)

[The Sam]

Got the call tonight that after 7 months of training, I am making my debut as a a referee for Warzone Wrestling Australia this Saturday night.
I'm excited but nervous. Hopefully I don't mess up too badly that I get blacklisted from every promotion everywhere forever. Will this thread be the catalyst for my future blacklisting? Who knows. Probably. Definitely.

Anyway, well wishes and good thoughts will not go unnoticed. Also cash. And fabulous prizes. Those are also greatly appreciated.

Sounds cool.

I've never wanted to be an actual wrestler, but being a ref always seemed like something really fun to do.

I'm sure you'll do fine. Just mind your 1, 2, 3s, and if a lady has something to say always give her the time no matter how busy you might be.

So, just how much did you spend on plastic surgery?
Also, remember that you can't call things unless they happen right in front of your eyes.

I'll give you a hint, free of charge: Pay attention to what the folks in the corner to your left are doing. Chances are, they be cheatin'.

Let it be known that you can be bought and grow a goatee if you don't have one.

Just don't sell WWA merch with your twin and you will be fine.

What does ref training involve? So you learn how to screw people, take ref bumps, have your head suddenly hurt and fall over when someone is powerbombed a mile away?

[Toom E. Guci]

As somebody who has refereed several matches...I wish you nothing but the best of luck.

Just remember, stay out of the way.

I understand the nervous but you've been training for quite some time. You'll do just fine. You've got this!


And congrats!

Practical Question to test if you are fully prepared.

The owner of Warzone Wrestling Australia channels his inner Vince McMahon and rushes to the ring ordering you to "ring the f***ing bell". What do you do?

[Brandon Walsh is Insane.]

Can you kick the guys hand away as he reaches for the rope? You know, the old cheating while doing abdominal stretch spot.

If you're lying down and hear a gunshot, turn around and see a broken chair in the ring...

It's nothing. Count the pin.

(Seriously, good luck and have fun.)

Good luck!

I ring the bell. Selling counterfeit merch isn't going to keep a roof over my head.

If I feel they are trying to intentionally get DQ'd in order to retain the title, then yes.

[the2ndevil]

Have someone record it and post it here.

It'll be the first time I'd be watching a match for the referee, but first time for everything, right?

[Gecko]

Congrats.

Don't listen to those fans that try to get a wrestler in trouble by claiming that he was cheating. Who are you going to believe, a professional co-worker who says he didn't or a random fan who says the opposite?

[MrElijah]

Make sure your 100 dollar bills don't fall out of your pocket.

[Can you afford to pay me, Gah]

Just remember to put your pants on.

Turn heel

Wrestling needs a new Dangerous Danny Davis

I missed that class

[Hanzo]

One of the most underrated refs of all time, in my opinion, was Mark Curtis.

Congrats on getting the spot, man!
