I'd really prefer for "referee discretion" not to become a stock phrase a la "didn't get all of it."
It also comes off as weird in contrast to every other sport which is striving to take "discretion" out of officiating entirely, sometimes to ridiculous extremes (read: what's a catch, what's roughing the passer, what's a foul, etc.)

"Referee Discretion" and Earl Hebner is not a good combination Merch does not count into discretion lol

Came into play again during the Mox/PAC vs page/Omega match
Letting both guys get in the ring with weapons, Meh
Running off tho when they about to swing the weapon at you tho and still watching them use the weapon is kind of pushing it

So unless he was going to assume the weapon shot was the reason he went down, would have been weird to call a DQ. Yes I’m stretching it and it was merely just because of a coincidental checking on PAC but damnit, I was paying attention! 😋

They used to do this all the time in TNA, mainly in Jeff Jarrett title matches during his reign of terror. Letting guys fight outside the ring for ages, allowing outside interference. They had to always "miss" the guitar shot because TNA had a DQ title change rule, but they would have had to discretion that as well if they couldn't have plausibly missed it. All it said to me was Jarrett wasn't good enough to have a decent match without all the BS.

Regarding count outs it would be more believable if they just switched to a 20 count like in Japan
