Topic	All-Purpose Wrestling Topic 489: Nick Gage was Robbed
Panthera 10/04/19 8:03:56 AM #134:	Maniac64 posted... I mean the Denver Broncos have two losses in part because of two questionable late roughing the passer penalties. But no asterisk there. Shenanigans happen in the NFL all the time and the records still stand. The NBA has literally put out post match reports admitting that the refs made bad calls that decided the winner, but the win still stands. It just happens a bit more often in wrestling, but the same rules apply. Referees call is final. If they miss something to bad. Once the winner is decided it cant be reversed. I mean, there's nothing in pro sports that compares to the level of bullshit that pro wrestling goes with. If an NFL player waited until the refs weren't looking then took off his helmet and bludgeoned the opposing quarterback unconscious with it, the result of the game itself might stand, but the player who did it would be suspended for the rest of the year. And MMA decisions can get turned into no contests if there was something clearly wrong with the original result. It's just impossible for me to buy into the notion that a wrestling show is serious about this stuff when they use traditional wrestling dirty finishes anyway. Hell, it's part of why heel authority figures work, at least you can sometimes tell yourself the story is that show is run by a scumbag who has zero interest in seeing any sort of genuine competition and just cares about controversial stuff happening to attract attention. --- Meow! <cite>Panthera posted [p:928319481] in All-Purpos...
