Those poor, poor referees. Tasked with keeping law and order in a violently competitive environment, they often go unnoticed unless they are doing a particularly bad job. If a referee is doing his job properly, you shouldn't notice them. The men in stripes are for sure an undervalued part of the professional wrestling set-up.
They also seem to be made out of glass, because the slightest touch sends them flailing to the floor, where they tend to stay for longer than any human being should after an unexpected collision. Funnily enough, they tend to stay down just long enough for some shenanigans, regaining consciousness at exactly the right time to count the final pin.
On the rare occasions a referee has been in a sanctioned match against a wrestler, the full-time combatant has surprisingly not opted to accidentally bump into the referee, causing them to fall into what is for all intents and purposes a glorified coma.
