[3 / 1 / 3]

Why do modern wrestlers keep looking at the fucking ref when they need to kickout?
I can't fucking stand it anymore.
It's easy to kickout before 3... you just listen to the counts and kickout before you expect the ref's hand to hit the mat the 3rd time. Looking at the ref count tells everyone watching "I'M GONNA KICKOUT FOR A NEAR FALL!!!" and that wrestling is fake.
>actors in a movie look at the director to see if he will say "CUT!"
>band playing a concert looks at the drummer and bassist the entire performance so they can stay in time
You might expect shitty wrestler to do it, or rookies, but almost everyone does it now, from veterans to newfags.
Even if they don't care because kayfabe is dead it still spoils a near fall and should be avoided at all times. Do they seriously not feel confident in kicking out on 3 on the sound alone???
