14 Things We Learned From Big Show On Stone Cold's WWE Network Podcast

12. Referees Are Too Credible Now

In Show's exact words, "Who cares if the referee's got credibility? Heels should be heels; babyfaces should be babyfaces". He's certainly got a point, one which relates to wider issues surrounding the current product. A common criticism aimed at WWE, particularly by fans dating back to the Attitude Era, regards the tone of Raw and SmackDown. Compared to the gritty, harder-edged product of the Monday Night Wars, WWE's programming can often feel sterile and overly-produced these days. Just look at the latest pay per view for a prime example: at the Royal Rumble, several eliminations and key moments were missed or obscured by unnecessary camera switches.
