>>10461360Listening to experienced refs you hear the same thing over and over:
> count consistently, not fast, not slow,> be smart about when you turn your back> you can't look at something "illegal" and not call it> if there's going to be an illegal thing, don't fucking look at it> get in shape. not "on the gear" but don't be a slobby piece of shit> keep a clean uniform, pants, shoes (look the part)> communicate, you're there to facilitate communication between wrestlers, from the timekeeper, and from the booker> don't go into business for yourself, you are remarkably replaceable> you're there to facilitate a match> nobody pays to see the ref> carry multiple sets of nitrile gloves
