SUPER SHOUTING VOCAL ENTHUSIASTIC REFEREE DUDE

[Ian "Wolfie" Trumps]

Anyone noticed him on RAW? He refereed Mickie James vs Jillian Hall two weeks back and also Priceless vs Cole/Lawler.

Is there going to be an angle here???

[Dave Johnson]

YES!!

He also did it to Mickie and Katie this past week at Raw?

I find it hilarious.

[TaNK]

I like it. Not sure about an angle.. havent heard anything.

[Cory]

....he just really likes his job maybe.

I'd love it if I got to ref Diva's matches.

[MitchMMA]

That one guy that refed the WM 20 playboy lingerie match was the luckiest guy in the world, they were rolling on top of him

[Jimmy Chisel]

Or he's just doing a good job at being a referee. I'd rather a referee who seemed like he was actually enforcing rules than someone who is just there to count a pinfall. Otherwise what is the point of a referee? So many referees are just there to count pinfalls and to the "hand on head I'm shocked" thing when a big move happens.

[Duckman]

To quote Mick Foley:  "the best referees are the ones you never notice"

Peace

Maybe so, but at least they should play the gimmick. Which is to pretend to enforce the rules.

[KevinHill]

I gotta agree with Jimmy here. As stupid as it is, the closed fist is still considered illegal. I hate those that just stand back and watch, and bob their head to the punch. I notice that some warn the heel but when the babyface makes his comeback, he doesn't do a thing. I like the refs that are screaming and warning both parties about everything. Because as Jimmy said, refs are supposed to enforce the rules. So why not pretend to do that?

[TaNK]

Maybe so, but at least they should play the gimmick. Which is to pretend to enforce the rules.

Agreed.

[Ian "Wolfie" Trumps]

Whether its right or wrong isnt the point of this thread for me before people start saying 'he's doing a good job' I wasn't saying he was doing a crap one. My question is because he is so diverse from what WWE have in a referee do you think this could well be an angle?

[KenFucious]

It might be. One of their better ones as it's pretty effin subtle. Maybe it'll be Danny Davis all over again. LoL

Either way, I actually enjoy the matches he calls.

[Black Death]

Not Dangerous Danny Davis... love that guy

[Rob]

If the commentators are making reference then possibly but if not then I doubt it. WWE thinks their fans are stupid so they usually make the most obvious links possible. Like for example, "you're opponent is a mystery but I will give you a few hints, hes the Rattlesnake and he talks about 3:16 a lot and his finisher is the Stone Cold Stunner but it's total mystery!"

WWE underestimate their fans intelligence. Well, maybe they have a case for the American ones...

[JaceGryphon]

WWE underestimate their fans intelligence. Well, maybe they have a case for the American ones...

....I resemble that!

But I agree, it is fun to watch him cuz it's like "You go dude, you're the only ref giving a shit about the rules!"

Earl Hebner...best ref ever.
