#1 Referees don't always know the result of the match
We are in an era where we openly acknowledge the fact that pro wrestling is not real and is all scripted. The results of the matches, the storylines everything is predetermined.

One major conception that we all have is that the referees always know the ending of the match and which superstar will be the winner. But this is interestingly not always the truth as even the referees sometimes are not aware of the outcome of the match.
One of the most famous examples of this is the match between The Undertaker and Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania XXX which was officiated by the WWE Referee, Chad Patton. This was the match that saw one of the most shocking moments in WWE History as The Beast broke the undefeated streak of the Phenom, much to the disbelief of everyone in the arena.
Even more interesting is the fact that the referee of the match also was not aware of the result. He was just told to count whenever someone goes for the pin. Imagine how shocking it would have been for Chad to not see Taker kick-out on that third count.
Do let me know what your favourite referee moment is in WWE in the comments section below. Let's all take a moment and thank these unsung heroes for their efforts and dedication.
