The ref needed to be anonymous and invisible...except for those rare moments where it all kicked off in one way or another. And we talked about it then for ages.
Joe D'Orazio did his rope trick once ever on tv. I saw it twice live.
He might have gone down ok with the less serious attendees who had only a small knowledge. May have seemed colourful. Can't see that the hard core fans would have wanted him. I never bothered much at all about officials but I do remember Martin Conroy with great affection.
Max must have known that much of what he said on his posters was garbage. This was just another example. He was the favourite referee in the family. So if Brian was the favourite referee, Shirley the favourite wrestler, did Max wonder where he had gone wrong?
He was as popular as a fart in a lift at Newcastle City Hall, got booed as much as most heels
It wouldn't be Christmas without Matey Dave.
For once maybe he has a point
"it was reported Max tried to Brian Maxine to sing this in the ring, but our Brian whacked in over the head with his guitar and said no"
For most fans the favourite refs were the ones whose name they could not remember
He was better as an MC. I could do without him barking at Kendo etc like a lion tamer.

"Referee Bryan" = overkill.
