That's just a wrestling trope in general. If the ref doesn't see the actual low blow, you can't assume it happened. Otherwise, you get heels flopping for easy DQ wins. Imagine if wrestling had VAR (for non-soccer fans, it’s Video Assistant Referee, and they review plays to see if they’re fair). A lot of heel cheating wins would be overturned. Seeing many, many VAR decisions, soccer seems more worked than wrestling sometimes. :/

They should do a golf thing and have viewers submit transgressions. Then tack on a 900 number type service charge and take our money. The Wrestling Hotline is back!

I didn't see the original comment i was quoted in due to my privacy settings with that user but yeah wrestling would be nuts with instant replay...Always thought the trons should show the in ring action so they ref has no excuse as well...Maybe i am just tired of the horrible ref tropes and want a ref that is insanely no nonsense...I think it could be interesting

So we mutually block each other? Cool.

Certainly nothing personal just differences of opinions and I thought for everyone's sanity that this was decided awhile ago.
We've both been here for working on two decades and I don't want my sometimes polarizing opinion to constantly piss you and others off to defend your own. Avoiding you and said others is my attempt at coexisting.
Proboards definitely doesn't make it easy with their really archiac and wonky system but truthfully I love pro wrestling and know you and others I've had silly quables with do too so I really am trying to be respectful by never including myself in your conversations outside the general topic.
Let's all enjoy this even if we screen each other for moderation.

And truthfully to break it all the way down over the last year and a half I've come to realize that you and a selection of other users including mods tend to think I'm a concern troll when it comes to AEW and that simply isn't the intended truth.
I adore the fact that there is a legit option now especially after how stagnant WWE has been for years. They have such an amazing roster and the utilization has always been my hang up and catalyst to my unwillingness to cut them slack.
It's a character flaw on my behalf because I'm the same way with the pro teams I support. When the Pacers win which is rare its a fist pump and move on. When they lose its a dissection of their incompetence.
It isn't fair but the truth of the matter is I do not look that deeply into WWE and provide them the same criticism because I simply don't really care. I've grown insanely apathetic to the thought that anything will change and when I see AEW flounder it's even more frustrating due to the opportunities they could potentially squander.
It's a weird way to explain it but it's genuine and hopefully this puts to bed anymore interruptions regarding why they are more heavily critiqued by myself and maybe a few others like me.
Believe me I don't want to leave here and be cast away to scjerk or something haha. Seriously man for you and even CJB this is it for me when it comes to anything other than my heartfelt opinion as to why something worked for me. These last few years have shown me I have no clue what the real or "casual" fan really wants.

Between him calling out his refs, to letting his talent call out talents booking record (Gunns asking why FTR are never on the show) - I don’t understand what Tony is doing. He’s openly calling himself out - and yet; doing nothing about it? I am completely pulling this out of the air, but there feels like a degree of wrestling promoter or even Vince cos play in it 'If that's how they feel, let them say it!' Like it actually makes any difference to anything
