I did see one consistent problem with the refs. One thing that is for SURE. The down side refs were NEVER< NEVER< NEVER getting the pullers with their wrist to the down side ref straight. I noticed this especially with Devon in some of his early matches. He was completely bowed before they ever said go. I'm not picking on Devon. I saw it in 20 matches at least. HUGE ADVANTAGE to whoever gets that side. Need to show that video in the next years ref meeting. Somebody with some video skills could probably post a few video clips to show what I am talking about. I would but I don't know how.

saw the same thing. not Devons fault, its the refs job to straighten em up......but its funny how nobody else is bitching about that......only how "Don must have been given the match by the ref cus theres no way he beat Devon on his own." and just because Devon was picked to win by everyone....including myself no one wants to acknowledge the fact that Devons wrist was curled in.....just that Don false started.....or that Don didnt pin him. BS. The Ref was the only one with the view that would prove or disprove this theory........ so to everyone that is crying about how Devon got "cheated"..... stop making excuses......... as so many people are fond of saying on here. he lost. its over. let it go and just give Mr. Underwood some credit already.
Don Underwood!
today you are the MAN!!!! congrats!

I love Woody but I think even though he has a lot of bravado he would like to win Fairly not to say he did anything wrong but like Travis Vs Devon Devon gets close to the pin before he catches his apponent then brings him back.
I think it sends a bad message too. I mean if you hit really hard and your close to the pin wellwhat the hell will give you the win because wow that was an amazing effort!

Were bitching Max because the match was called without a pin! i see what your sayin bro....but you nor I were the ref. we werent there in his shoes to see it so why is it we should automatically assume that there is no way it was the right call? just because we know better? because Devon just has to be stronger and better? i love Devon, im a fan no doubt about it, and it doesnt look like a pin to me either, but if we dont go with the refs call then we shouldnt even have refs at all. just a video camera and instant replay. no ref. just watch it on tape then we wil have it. i dont want that. controversy is great for the sport. |

But I do think Devons reaction to the call was Justified yiou and me both know if we were in Devons Shoes we would have questioned it to! oh hell yeah i woulda raised HELLLLLLLL!!! lol and Devon was 110% justified for arguing his case, it was a borderline call no doubt, but thats as far as im willin to go on record as sayin because who am i to put the ref on front street by sayin i "know" he got it wrong when theres no way in hell i "know" that to be true. it doesnt look like a pin to me, but the ref said it was so thats good enough for me. i wouldnt have wanted to have to make that call.....would you??? lol all in all that was a great tournament looks like to me. contoversy, drama, great matches and some surprises. wish i coulda been there. |

I was the down reff for Devon and Ryan Devon was in A reffs grip I tried to straighten his rist and he fought with it. Then he told me he could not move it when in a reffs grip. Bullcrap when The reff tells you to work with him on that matter and you dont its a foul. Plain and simple.
