I'm reminded of Nobuaki Kakuda, the champion kickboxer and crooked ref who helped Bob Sapp actually have a career in combat sports.

Why did referees wear blue shirts with little bow ties in WWE for such a long time?

wwf rose from the seed of oldtime boxing promotion where the refs pretty much looked like that, at least sometimes, and didn't wear stripes. stripes are a now roughly 100 year old college football thing that expanded into a couple other sports

I thought they had little bow ties instead of neck ties so the wrestlers wouldn't be tempted to strangle them. Just look at Daniel Bryan.

There was also WCW and TNA ref Slick Johnson, who not only had the habit of wearing shorts whilst reffing (making him stick out like a sore thumb) but he also had the bizarre quirk of selling moves for the wrestlers... like, a wrestler would get whipped into the turnbuckle and Slick would clutch his back in pain on the other side of the ring. He was later involved in an angle in TNA where he would privilege female wrestlers who gave him sexual favours.

Pope Corky the IX posted:Why did Vince McMahon stop wearing vests and waistcoats? because he stopped pretending to be a commentator and revealed himself as the big boss thus as the big boss he had to wear suits unless it was time for battle (and even then in some cases) once he became a true on screen/in ring personality he wore the raw jacket and then suits.

He's managing a guy at my local indie now and it's really a great act.

Also she was checking on Darby with the hand squeeze test like two seconds after the Coffin Drop at Fyter Fest, she’s on top of her job. #1 ref in the business, at least until Bryce does another tope onto the Young Bucks to end a ladder match or Red Shoes flips off Jay White for cheating and fucks him over.

Aubrey Edwards getting up in Brody King's face for bending the rules is a visual I won't forget, even if I've mostly forgotten what rule he broke to get her so upset.

Is there a picture of what Randy Savage actually looked like? Between his hair, bandannas, hats, facial hair, sunglasses, crazy expressions, etc, I feel like I've never seen his goddamn face.

I always thought Poffo sounded like one of the sound effects from the 60s Batman series.

When I think of the Macho Man I think of the whole apocalypse "scare" that was going on at the time he died and the wonderful "Macho Man died for our sins" memes that went around  I like to think he dropped the big elbow on the J-Man up in the Heavendome and saved humanity.

Miss Elizabeth caught a few elbows herself, maybe that's what saved us from Y2K.

DLC Inc posted:poo poo, what match was this? He hasn’t actively done it yet, but he’s flipped off Fale and DQed him for interference or blatant cheating a bunch of times now (and then gets the gently caress out of the ring before Fale grabs him), so I figure it’s just a matter of time before he gets sick of Jay’s bullshit in a less important match and just goes “gently caress you” and does the same thing. The ever evolving saga of Red Shoes vs Bullet Club is a fun little story. Crotch chops, forcing guys to go to the back, pissing off the Ring General and flipping him off and getting the gently caress out of the ring once Fale realizes he got DQed, or Jay at the G1 Special trying to grab his US belt back and looking like he’s going to cry as Red Shoes keeps pulling it away from him and handing it to Juice... And now that I think about it, Red Shoes is probably the best “do I call for the bell?” ref in the business. Him watching at New Beginning last year as Tanahashi refuses to give Suzuki the joy of making him tap out and eventually going “I can’t let him do this to himself” and calling for the bell, thus making Suzuki IC champ, or him yelling “OKADA!” and looking like “do I call for the bell? If I don’t, I don’t know what the Skull End is going to do to him...” at the G1 this year were incredible moments and a lot of it was on him to sell since the actual guys were laying on the mat, barely visible to the crowd. You really start to get why Baba and Inoki both really liked him and why he’s consistently the heavyweight title match ref. All of this and he squired the Real Panty-Dropper on top of all that. I kinda hope Jericho tries to attack Shooter after losing to Tanahashi at Wrestle Kingdom and Shooter just Fisherman Busts him out of New Japan for the foreseeable future. Imagine that pop. I also hope they have their b-roll guys filming Moxley watching when that happens and the doc they put out a couple weeks later shows Mox popping like a ten year old when it happens.

I wondered because it seemed like their kids would be reaching wrestling age by now and thought it was cool he kept his kids out of the business, but welp, looks like she uses Page as her public last name and is with University of Alabama athletics.
