ChickenWing Posted January 31 Posted January 31 It might be because he was mic'd up but did anyone else find this guy annoying? He never shut up. I ended up muting the broadcast.
mr.nonothingatall Posted January 31 Posted January 31 He was pretty talkative. Let the kids wrestle there match Full of un-bias blasphemy.
D3 for LU Posted January 31 Posted January 31 (edited) I really find this (refs talking to wrestlers on HOW to wrestle during the match) VERY distracting and adds NOTHING to the bout... hey pal, you had your "Day in the Sun"... shut up and JUST REF THE MATCH, m'kay? ( Really! ) D3 Edited January 31 by D3 for LU Never argue with an idiot. They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.

Le duke Posted January 31 Posted January 31 He would say, "Improve, improve!" at times that seemed... strange. And he was doing it often. I ended up listening to the PSU broadcast instead.
Scouts Honor Posted January 31 Posted January 31 yep and every once in awhile you can hear him talking to someone else about things

GV4444 Posted January 31 Posted January 31 Crazy annoying and says stupid stuff. "Improve!" after 5 seconds of riding. "Keep it Legal" and chastised wrestler for using illegal move, but "keep it legal" can be taken two ways. I would assume that it is legal at the moment and to keep it so, not a warning to change it to something legal. If it was illegal as he was yelling "keep it legal", then he should blow the whistle. The side chatter was fingernails on a chalkboard. Dispassionate Penn State grad and fan.
Phantom Posted January 31 Posted January 31 He has been the worst so far this year. But how is it possible that refs seem to keep getting worse and not better? Refs are not supposed to dictate matches period...

Le duke Posted February 1 Posted February 1 yep and every once in awhile you can hear him talking to someone else about thingsI think he started talking about “the production” by the B1G/tv crew at one point.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

KLCarnegieTech_1969 Posted February 1 Posted February 1 Completely... small guy syndrome... had an ax to grind... felt like it was all about the ref. I can't stand that refs now try and influence/coach the kids into being more aggressive. All night it was IMPROVE, WATCH THE FINGERS, KEEP HANDS OUT OF THE FACE. They shouldn't mic the refs for this very fact. Mic the coaches. Thank you for your astute observation.

Phantom Posted February 1 Posted February 1 Complete opposite thought process. The best refs talk less. Seems like I was able to watch wrestling for over 40 yrs without a ref being part of the show, but now they all are. Ref the match and don't dictate anything. Can't just keep blabbing away in a match. Call scores, illegal holds, stalling, etc..It was the worst back in the day when freestyle refs had to say "zone" when near the edge of the mat. Like, the wrestlers were not aware they were in the "zone"...
