You've seen the picture. 

 

That one of your favorite wrestler with a hand raised at the end of a tough match. It's a great picture except there's an amputated hand grabbing his or her wrist. Where did that hand come from? Who does it belong to?

For all of your hard work, for all of your attention to detail, for the fortitude to enter hostile arenas and make the tough call, we want to give this to you, the unsung heroes of the wrestling world:
