I don't know if having two referees is a good idea, but I was just thinking about referee's the other day. I think they should be used in storylines more.
Kind of make Nick Patrick the heel referee. Not completely evil, just willing to overlook some rules. As a former old-school wrestler, he could sympathise with the doing what it takes attitudes of some wrestlers. Maybe have Jimmy Kordares file for the position of Senior Official, as he does have more refereeing experience, apparently.
Of course, they shouldn't dedicate too much time to these programs, but they could give the referees bios on WWE.com, address which wrestler has the advantage with what referee, etc.
On a semi-related note, I'd like to see some matches have "Anything Goes" outside the ring, with the rules only being enforced inside it. Maybe this could be used for ECW? That way wrestlers can go extreme without really making every match an "Extreme Rules" match.
I think separate reffing styles for each official, and each brand in general, would be a lot of fun. Maybe have Special Guest Referees used a lot more, but without there being some kind of impending screwjob. Like how Jacqueline used to sometimes referee.
