I can't believe that I'm actually going to post about this. I'm currently watching a classic Jake Roberts-Scott McGhee match from a 1985 MSG card. The referee is really making me crack up because he looks just like the late singer John Denver. I doubt that anyone, besides me, remembers this match or this referee. But it got me thinking about some of the classic and funny referees of the past.
-NWA ref Tommy Young- I used to love it when Ric Flair would shove him and he would shove Flair right back.
-WWF ref Gilberto Roman- The little ref who was always getting abused by the midgets because he wasn't much bigger than them.
-WWF ref Jack Lotz- He took the all time worst ref bump during "The War to Settle the Score" match between Hulk Hogan and Roddy Piper. Lotz was barely even touched and he stayed motionless in the ring.
I went to an MSG event in the summer of 1987 and he refereed a tag team title match between the Hart Foundation and the British Bulldogs. I never saw a slower count in my life whenever the Bulldogs were covering the Harts. Hey, I was only 12.
-Of course who can forget heel referee Danny Davis. That was of the best angles at the time.
Here's a interesting fact. The first time Randy Savage wrestled George "The Animal" Steele on Saturday Night's Main Event in 1985, the referee was Dean Malenko. Also, if you check out some of the WWF events from the early 90's, Shane McMahon would occasionally appear as a referee.

We've got a rockin' rhythm with a high tech sound
That'll make you move your body down to the ground.....
