Ref bumps
By Scott Keith on October 24, 2014
Hey Scott,
How come we don't see refs take bumps anymore? We still get a fair amount distraction/screwy finishes but I can't recall the last time we saw a referee taken out while it happened. How come?
Last I heard, it's just a Vince thing, where one day he issues an edict that he wants the refereeing to be more "realistic" and thus no ref bumps. It's true, though, distraction finishes would be slightly less annoying if they changed it up with a ref bump here or there. Especially in a main event setting, if not overdone, it can be effective. Plus it's more realistic for a referee to be unconscious and thus not able to see interference, rather than ignoring stuff happening over his shoulder.
