Concerns Of Event Security Guards In Wrestling

As a wrestling fan, I have come to realize that anyone outside of the actual stars of the show find themselves portrayed as the weakest individuals one can imagine. I have total respect for those who perform some of the more monotonous work, whether it is the referees having to count pinfalls or event security guards having to remain wary of the audience. Regardless, in terms of the storylines, they aren't actually portrayed as well. If you are still lost as to what mean by this, read on.

Let's take the referees, for example, seeing as how they aren't exactly treated as well as they should be. In every match, they have to make sure that they call everything right down the middle, whether it has to do with pinfall attempts to making sure that moves on the ropes are broken before the count of five. However, whenever a referee takes a bump and become hurt, they stay down for the entire duration of the match, it seems like. One would think that they would be more durable.

As a result of this portrayal, I have to wonder if WWE would benefit more from the presence of much stronger officials in the long term. In fact, what would it hurt the company to hire on referees who have worked in UFC, seeing as how they have seen much more brutal fights on a constant basis? The level of physical endurance in that particular field seems to be greater, from what I have seen. Not only do these refs hold up better but they will not be so easily pushed around, either.

I think the same can be said about event security guards, since these individuals have been seen as those who can break up fights. However, from what I have seen, these particular individuals seem to have a lot of trouble going about their job on TV, which shouldn't be the case. After all, these guards have gone about training of the highest degree and wrestling should do the better justice. I think the landscape of regulation in wrestling would be helped by authorities like the Protective Group.

To me, it is tough to look back at some of the things you loved about wrestling and see that they are rather ridiculous. This goes for anything that you can think of, whether it has to do with matches, storylines, or what have you. In terms of the workers that you would see on TV - event security guards or not - you would expect them to be as strong as possible, right? It's not hard to see why, since these are going to bring about the strongest events possible.
