 What's good Joshua Ross back again with another video so make sure you check out ten greatest special guest referees performances of all time and this should be a good one From time to time referees or special guest referees are included into a few to I guess Enhanced to feud make things a little bit more unpredictable Than the regular referees that they may have for safe matches So we're gonna check this out appreciate all the love and support you guys have been showing on the channel Let's get right into this one This on the special referee is something we see a lot in wrestling A guest ref might be needed in certain circumstances where the rest is in the ring require extra control The stipulation can also be used to put one wrestler at a disadvantage Since this stipulation shines a spotlight on the ref it's common for the guest referee to be a highlight of the match So in this video we'll look at some matches where this happened as we list 10 memorable special referee appearances Number one Chris Jericho first we'll look at a match where the special referee completely stole the show This occurred when Roman Reigns wrestled Rusev on Raw in January 2016 Jericho had made himself the ref in an attempt to prevent the League of Nations from interfering And even though it didn't take long for the faction to get involved YTJ knew exactly how to deal with them Jericho proceeded to eject each member from ringside in a comical fashion With each ejection being funnier than the last Chris was so entertaining the fans nearly forgot there was a match That's it would end up Roman Reigns delivered a spear to Rusev to get the win Number two Sean Michaels the heartbreak kid has been guest referee for so many matches There's even been action figures made of him in ref attire Perhaps the funniest appearance as a referee came when he officiated Kane first Rob Conway on the May 1st 2006 episode of Raw the spirit squad were the acting general managers for the night And since Sean was one of their rivals at the time they made him referee wearing a May 19th shirt This was going to be tough for HPK given Kane's hatred of this specific date But Michaels had a clever plan Sean went to check Rob Conway before the big red machine made his entrance However, Michaels ended up dishing out a low blow to Conway before putting the May 19th shirt back in And then throwing Rob out of the ring right when Kane approached the mere sight of the day Infuriated Kane and he got to work on tapping Conway Michaels watched on while sitting on the top rope Conway then tried to escape but Sean made sure to throw him right back in the ring Michaels they grabbed the trashcan for Kane to use the big red monster smashed the bin off Conway's skull and hit a chokeslam Kane didn't attempt to cover though and got ready to leave until he was summoned back by that all too familiar date May 19th That's fucking stupid bro May 19th. Oh, I gotta kill him now The winner number three. Oh my god. The main selling point of Summersam 1999's main event was the appearance of Jesse the body Ventura as a special ref Ventura was the governor of Minnesota at the time and given that the state was playing host to Summersam Having Jesse as the referee made perfect sense Especially given the story being told in the build-up where it was made clear the body rules Ventura cut an impassioned promo before the bell I'm proud I was a wrestler and I'm proud to be here tonight Stone Cold Steve Austin would be defending his WWF championship against Mankind and Triple H Stone Cold and Mankind worked together initially, but this alliance ended after Mankind tried to hug Austin China's interference would prove costly for Triple H as Ventura took it upon himself to eject the ninth wonder of the world from ringside And the body is ejecting time Mankind took a hard bump to the floor and would be covered by Austin only for the game to break up the count with a steel chair Hunter then used the chair on Mankind much to venture his frustration as he in Triple H argued Shane McMahon ran in to help the game Shane ended up receiving a stone after his sevens but man was then thrown out of the ring by the body to a huge pop What was happening there was stone falls Oh man, you little bastard. I love it He got himself caught up in between the ropes but Triple H was able to set him free and I go upside down and I'm hanging in the ropes Upside down I can't get up. There's no reason logically for Triple H to save me Austin would then receive a pedigree Mankind then came back to attack the game and hit a double armed DDT onto Stone Cold And it was that that got the three count making Mankind a three-time wwf champion I Had left the ring Triple H began to unleash a vicious assault on Austin with a steel chair to end the show number four the rock A month following summer slam triple h rock as a special guest always a lair. You see Now I'm at the wwf championship. I forgot what it was bro. He's supposed to count the three or something like that one two It doesn't matter if I count the three Possession a tightly defended against the british bulldog on smackdown with the rock being the special Rock had been feuding with both competitors So it would be interesting to see how we officiated the match. The great one didn't disappoint First he attacked the bulldog then rock entertained on commentary and when he was called upon to count a pin Rock gave Triple H an applause instead of counting the four This resulted in the two brawling with each other ending with a rock bomb Bulldog then made the cover as the rock was on hand to deliver one of his most iconic lines Three bulldog attempted to use the wwf title as a weapon But it backfired as rock took both bulldog and the game out with the bell The brawler bull then hit one of the best ever people's elbows. Yeah, it's the slide It's the slide in the dress shoes one of the best ever people The rock posed with the wwf championship as the match ended in a no contest number five Chain McMahon the rock and triple h would get their big pay-per-view singles match for the wwf championship at backlash 2000 the game defended the title with vince and Stephanie McMahon in his corner while shane acted as a special referee The rock was at a heavy disadvantage of being attacked by vince numerous times while shane turned a blind eye The people's champions stayed alive though and responded with a ddt although shane refused to count the subsequent pinfall This is so good. This earned McMahon a signature right hand from the great one followed up by a double Vince's shock reaction said it all the numbers game once again caught up to the Rock with a low blow from behind following a pedigree Still being down on the outside vince signaled for the stooge's paterson and briscoe to come out However help was on the way in the form of a returning stone call Austin dished out some of the best shares that's ever seen And the crowd went completely insane back in the ring the rocket people's alcohol was going for the cover And just like that the rock was a new wwf I got goosebumps. Just I've seen that clip so many times. I still get goosebumps. Take me back Build a time machine so I can go back and watch that live He celebrated with austin to end one of the attitude eras most classic main events number six stone calls Austin was on hand to referee a match himself at WrestleMania 23 in the battle of billionaires Where the losing billionaire would be forced to have their head shaved bald vince McMahon who is you know, what's crazy He's the only president ever Former president ever to get stone cold stunted There's never been a president in in the history of the united states. There's ever been stone cold stunted, bro Can't make it up represented by umaga face donald trump who is being represented by Bobby lashley Stone Cold establishes authority early by pulling lash v off umaga Austin later got heavy-handed when pulling umaga out of the corner This infuriated umaga enough to hit the rattlesnake with a Samoan spike from there Shane McMahon interfered hitting lashley with a coast-to-coast Shane then revealed he was wearing a referee shirt and began to count however stone cold pulled Shane out of the ring and threw him in Austin was struck down again by umaga once he got back in the ring Meanwhile on the outside donald trump proceeded to beat the hell out of vince austin finally managed to dodge umaga And hit him with a stunner lashley then delivered a spear to the smoan bulldozer as austin counted the fall in the post match Shane would also resist Use this as an opportunity to escape however lashley quickly caught him McMahon then got a taste of things to come as he felt the bald head of stone cold and once vince turned around He too would eat a stunner It was then time for vince to get strapped in as the billionaire's haircut got underway vince's facials and bones whilst in the chair were absolutely I want to say this is right before he turned into durag vince Because he had his hair shade. I want to say this is right before he turned into durag vince and it just oh no it was Oh man gold The parting shot of mcman as he walked back up the ramp helped sum up what was an all-time wrestle menu moment Austin still had one more senator to get out though I told you being on the receiving end Trump took the move so badly that the camera angle had to be altered to try and hide the botch on the dvd in network versions of the show And it looked like And he took it like yeah, it still wasn't the worst. Yeah, it wasn't the worst Number seven mc foley foley put in perhaps the most physical special referee performance of all time bad blood 2003 where kevin ash battled triple h for the world heavy Can we just acknowledge the fact that mc foley's referee shirt was so bad? It made sense. It's just like a regular shirt with a black collar and some mics look like spray painted Uh stripes on it, bro That I always appreciated his special guest referee shirts because they were just it didn't it wasn't no official shirt It was just some some some shit you can just make at the crib. Let me spray paint this with stripes on it Loved it championship inside helenacell foley was made the ref after numerous senior referees refused to Officiate the match due to fear And the dangers of the sell itself so given the wars mc went through inside the structure There was no better man to ref such a match than the hardcore legend himself Foley laid down the law by stopping triple h from using a hammer Resulting in a shoving match between the two mc did however allow nas to use a barbed wire two by four mc Then stopped triple h from using the sledgehammer But this resulted in foley getting taken out by the game the cerebral assassin Then grabbed a sealed chair and hit both nas and foley across the head with it at this point All three men had been busted open nas was now back up wielding the seal steps He successfully used on triple h with foley also getting caught in the crossfire nas then inadvertently crashed into mc Who was on the apron as the hardcore legend took a nasty back bump into the cell wall nas used the barbed wire Two by four to his advantage once more before hitting a jackknife power bomb foley raised back in the ring to count the fall Even though he was meant to stay down this meant triple h had to kick out Which resulted in an awkward finish to the match where nas essentially waited for the game to strike him with the sledgehammer I never did that and triple h retained his world heavyweight title foley took so much punishment as the referee that this was essentially a Triple threat match Next we have an example of a special referee being drafted in to try and ensure the rest is in the ring Destroyed each other This was commissioner regal's plan when he made himself the ref for chris jericho and chris benoit's match on the april 9th edition of raw From 2001 regal put on a very entertaining display here from the way he rang the bell to the way he demanded jericho and benoit punch and kick each other instead of Underhooked backbreaker and then hooked the leg of benoit regal however awkwardly counted the fall since he wanted the match to continue Come on Regal didn't care about a winner as he waved to the crowd instead of counting benoit's pin attempt on a german suplex This made benoit push regal into an incoming missile drop kick The commissioner then lost his temper by punching out both white uj and the crippler But this proved to be a big mistake as the two chrises With a backdrop blindsoul and diving headbutt finished off with the walls of jericho It was fun to watch regal's entire plan He's just in the middle getting torn the shreds Oh my god, sammy zane next we go to raw in the summer of 2019 The matching question is unique in that it featured two referees with veteran official John cone working in the ring and sammy zane acting as a special referee on the outside Zane's good friend Kevin Owens took on the universal champion seth rollins in a non-title match zane made his presence Felt immediately first by patting down rollins before the match and then stopping seth from striking owens once the bow got underway sammy then distracted john cone just as rollins made a pin attempt After this zane even entered the ring to check on kevin But in doing so prevented seth from hitting a move off the top rope sammy would finally get caught up in the physicality When rollins hit a suicide dive onto owens once owens was back in the ring Rollins delivered a curb stomp and went for the pin zane got involved again though By this time pulling the inside referee cone out of the ring before he could count to three This angered rollins who ended up putting his hands on sammy which led to zane calling for the bell owens celebrated the disqualification win But his friend sammy wouldn't get off so lightly as rollins beat down zane at the help of a steel chair Zane was undoubtedly the star of the show here sammy later spoke about his performance led to higher ups seeing him in a different light And for some reason gorilla was very tickled by my antics or something in that moment You're just so entertaining. You can do anything. Number 10 He is entertaining Dude is He is hilarious, bro He you give him what you give him something and he'll make it Better than you expected it to and do this fantastic in the ring fantastic in the ring man Looking forward to seeing how things play out with the bloodline in him during this WrestleMania season We'll close things out with an example of a baby face special referee looking to screw over the heel This happened when dean ambrose was made the guest ref for aj stars' match against james ellsworth on smackdown in october 2016 before the mat could begin ambrose comically emptied his pockets by handing over each item to aj in the ring Once things got underway ambrose would have some fun by distracting aj to allow ellsworth to get a shot in on him Dean then tripped up stars and ignored ellsworth tapping out of the calf crusher to take a phone call Stars was none too pleased with this But it only got worse as ambrose fast counted aj while he was on the outside Dean then prevented stars from winning by count out by throwing ellsworth back in the ring Ambrose also took the time to sign autographs Which enraged the phenomenal one even more aj has to be commended though for how he saved ellsworth from injury When executing the stars clash ellsworth was headed for certain injury had aj not changed his body position at the last Following this Yeah, yeah, that could have ended Catastrophically for him bro cover but ambrose stopped his count at two He then gave aj the dirty deeds and pulled ellsworth on top of styles for the pin aj managed to kick out at two and a half This made ambrose leave the ring again to stop for a drink before coming back in the ring and hitting another dirty D's to aj which this time gave ellsworth the victory Hey man, this was a good one. This was a good one. It is something about the special guest referees You know it just especially depending on the uh the feud and the situation it can definitely enhance the matching And make it that more entertaining and quite unpredictable or if you're going in the situation to put Pretty much stacked the deck against the baby face.
