I always thought it'd be cool if a wrestling promotion took a nod from UFC and employed former fighters/big guys to be the refs for the exact situation where they need to over power someone to protect their opponents if they don't stop attacking when a fight is over/someone is knocked out/choked out  I'd love a Big John style ref for street fights/Heavyweight hoss fights. Someone just as big if not bigger than the wrestlers incase things get out of hand. They wouldn't need it for every match. So if they want to do a ref bump in a match, that'd obviously be the situation to use one of the typical ref's, rather than the big enforcers. Maybe even have one of them sitting outside the ring as a backup incase the original ref is taken out. Add some realism to it. |

Considering how horrible officiating is in real sports, I always considered Pro wrestling referees just an over the top parity of actual referees.

Think you took a wrong turn, the weird objectification of women is NXT's deal. I thought after the women wrestler pic/GIF page went away we got rid of the perverts and "bunkmates" or they went underground. Guess we were wrong g Thank you for that casual insult. |

You perved up a topic that didn't need it. If you do that in private or say it in words I could care less but you did what you did |

I hate the argument "well if the refs aren't lenient then we'd have DQs and countouts all the time" as if it's not on the wrestlers. The wrestlers are the ones burying the refs. They could just not blatantly do illegal shit in front of the ref, or spend two seconds to break the count when brawling outside. Yeah that argument makes no sense, as if the wrestlers HAVE to be outside the ring forever etc. |

However they can go over spots with the ref, warn the ref before they do something that the ref needs to miss or even work the ref into the spot if the referee NEEDS to be the center of attention. I blame earl hebner especially his post wwe where he tried to get himself over constantly. His stuff is what it seems like Aubrey based her style off of and even with him it became cringe af |

Rick Knox is terrible when it comes to controlling the action. Then again, he is also touring with the Wyld Stallyns so he’s probably exhausted all the time. Does the Grim Reaper get tired though?

aubrey is pretty much the only one that comes off as being competent that i can think of. it also helps a bit i think is that unlike the male refs, the male wrestlers aren't going to take a shot at her if she annoys them so she gets away with being more forceful as well. of course britt would still happily deck her if she got the chance and could get away with it.
