>>12535646This ref is only there because the Young Bucks gave him the job.
He's their buddy who's helped them in the indies, but he's fucking shit at refereeing precisely because he has no control over the match at any time, and dares not intervene when things inevitably go wrong.
The same ref handled the Moxley-Fenix match.
Why didn't he stop the match at the first concussion? Moxley told him he could keep going. Fundamentally the ref never asked.
Why didn't he stop the match at the first piledriver, or count the pinfall? Wasn't the booked finish.
He'll let them kill each other just to keep Tony Khan and the EVPs from screaming at him.
And you know what? I reckon Tony does a shitload of screaming when his precious booking gets thwarted by these botches, injuries and similar "not by the book" situations.
