Quotes / Easily-Distracted Referee

If you hired a pro wrestling referee to babysit, he would warn the house plant in the corner not to cheat while your two cats killed your baby behind him... No matter how obvious the crime scene, the ref can't ever piece together the story after he turns back around. If he sees two burping cats and half an infant, all he knows is that these cats win! Shrug! As soon as you get home, he'll present you with the new tag team champions and go home thinking it was a job well done.

Jim Ross: How can the referee allow such a thing?
Jerry Lawler: Come on JR, you know the referee's health plan doesn't include vision.

Bobby "The Brain" Heenan: Did the referee see it?
Randy "Macho Man" Savage: I saw it.
Heenan: You don't count! Did the referee see it? Then it doesn't count!
