Review various live video clips for certain situations and see if you agree with the call or not.

This section is not intended to bash or embarrass any official.  Every official at all levels has had to make a close call from time to time and justify their call when challenged.  These clips have no right or wrong answer because none of us had to make the call.  The purpose is to watch tough situations and learn from them, so you either agree or disagree.  Wrestling officials can learn a great deal from watching fellow referees in tough situations.  Some of these calls are debatable and there are message boards/forums to do so.  (See http://www.wrestlingref.com/id2.html).  I’ll post clips as I find them and I would welcome anyone to send me clips to foster discussion.
