QOTD - August 23rd, 2013

Greetings, buckaroos.

Today's question comes from a Mr. Jeff Bailey

Favourite referees.
 
I'm always partial to the ones you don't notice: Joey Marella, Tim White, Jack Doan, etc. Much better than Earl Hebner, Charles Robinson and the like who may as well have a sign above their head saying 'Look at me!'
 
In fact Hebner and his shitty exaggerated counting really gets up my piss hole.
 
Actually, Robinson is my favorite. I often find he just disappears once the match get's going. Plus, he doesn't do obnoxious things like when it's a No-DQ match, and someone is in a submission, then reaches the ropes, he'll just stand there like "what do you want me to do about it?". Other refs will forget and call for a break. Or they'll do things like try and prevent certain weapons being used, or like Hebner and his favorite "That's enough!" he'd always yell at Triple H. Plus, who hauls ass better than him?

As an addendum to his question, I'll add; what's your all time favorite ref bump?

Mine is Tim White's from the Triple H vs Jericho HIAC. He took that bump full force, and then a stomping afterwards. Not to mention it ended his career, which then caused him to commit suicide numerous times.

How say you?
