I understand that wrestling is scripted combat. But even in this world of fantasy, officials exist within the ring to lay the law down. Almost every match had interference of some kind without the officials really caring about the same.
Josh Mathews had to justify the fact that the officiating was lax, by cooking up a story about there being a lot at stake in the match. Somehow, the poor officiating just took me entirely out of the match.
It did not help that one of the officials looked like a very young man. A lot of jokes were cracked on Twitter at his unfortunate expense.
