Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

Hi,
Few things to ask you guys, you might know better than me.
1. When the ref is checking the downed wrestler if he's ok, is he really acting as the go between for the match script. One time in particular, he checked Cena, Cena said something and the ref walks around the ropes of the ring as though checking, but says something to the opponent on the way. I thought the fights were scripted, but is it more improvised, and the ref co-ordinates?
2. The bald fellas outside the ring, one from London Shootfighters - now I'm not stupid
but what are they so nervy. Someone went over the " wall " onto the ground in the crowd, and I saw them reacting to a young fella leaning over to take a photo. I understand they're protecting the guys, but are they expecting them to be assaulted. Similiar to when Cena was touching all the kids hands etc, one kid went to give him a hug and they were like on springs getting ready.
Great night, absolute showmen and excellent performers. In some cases, it seems far less real when you're so close, and I missed the commentary, but it certainly gave me an interest again, lost since the Rock, Austin and Mankind drifted away.
Hope you all had as good a time as me and my boy.

I don't think fights are fully scripted, so in some cases the ref acts as a go-between to pass on information. He may also have been telling the wrestlers to begin finishing the match. I think there is a bit of improvisation, but it all really depends on the circumstances of the match. For a house show I'd say a lot of it is improvised0 -

1. It all depends on the individuals involved, and the event a match takes place on. House show bouts are far less scripted than the televised matches. However, alot of the time, the guys involved (especially if they're fresh opponents) will be rehearsing stuff for an upcoming PPV. In that case, there might be alot more stuff planned ahead of time that they want to work in.
The ref is a form of communication between wrestlers. If a guy is hurt, or tired, or feels something needs to be altered, the ref relays it to the other wrestler. At the same time, the ref does also check on guys though if he feels there's a problem. He also keeps the guys informed of times, and tells them when to go to the finish.
2.I think the security thing is to protect the fans as much as the wrestlers these days. They don't want lawsuits and such occurring.....0 -

1. Refs (esp WWE refs) do a HELL of a lot more work than just count the pinfalls. Usually as they're the one with a watch (I've never seen a wrestler with one) they can speed up or slow down the match depending on how long it's been given on the card. They also pretty much call the action unless the two guys can work off each other well (DX say would never need ref help for the spots). Cena is one of those guys that does need the ref though, you can always spot the ref talking to Cena obviously telling him what's next. Refs also do stuff like this:
2. Every bouncer at every event and nightclub in the world are dickheads (bar a few that do the ATP Festival in England as they're regulars) so that kind of carry on is to be expected. Your right though, a young kid is hardly going to start poundin0 -

would have been fun to chant for swagger just to annoy all the little kids!
Thats exactly what we did:D duelling chants are great fun, I booed all the faces, the looks i got for cheering for The Miz were great, it was funny hearing "lets go Cena!" in little kiddy and girlie voices then "lets go swagger!" in adult voices 0 -

i was at ringside section g, & bar 3 lads & a few kids there was no sound. Iv been to every house show in Dublin since 04 & that was the most depressed section iv been in :mad:
The tiered section sounded fun, lot of Orton & Swagger chants (which i loved). Was a good card in fairness, just wish the adults in that section would understand that we're supposed to scream & shout.
Goin on the 14th to Taker's tour, tiered seating...should be fun 0 -
