Inconsistent Refs
So, this isn't a huge deal or anything - but one thing I've noticed a lot the last few months is just how inconsistent the refs seem to be. I know we always joke about WWE changing the rules to fit the situation, which they do, but lately it's been happening a bit frequently.

Case in point - just last night I noticed inconsistencies. During Edge's match, he began getting counted out while standing on the apron. That's happened a few times in recent months, so I'm assuming it's a rule change as it never used to be that way. Fine. But then in Orton's match he was outside the ring, getting counted out...got back onto the apron, and then knocked back outside the ring. The ref than restarted the count. In theory, if standing on the apron can get you counted out, the count should have never been restarted as Orton never re-entered the ring.

Like I said, not a big deal...just irks me a bit how the rules seemingly vary from match-to-match, even on the same night.

I believe if you are prevented from entering the ring by physical force the count must restart

Yep. This is done pretty consistently, for the most part. However, it didn't happen in Ziggler's match against Hornswoggle in the draft Raw.

Bingo. Every time a small guy beats a big guy via countout, it's always because of that reason. The little guy won't let the big guy into the ring and the refs count him out.

I wonder if they are even conscientious of these rules, or if the IWC are the only people that notice.

I think this is just a case of certain refs thinking different things in 'the moment'.

It's like when all the wrestlers are down and the ref starts the ten count in a triple threat match.

i hate it when a wrestler goes for a sunset flip over the ropes and the opponent holds on to the rope then the ref kicks his hands as if to say 'you can't do that, get off the rope' and im like 'shouldn't that be a rope break?'
