wsohl & smoref had it correct. Wrestlers are assigned a color for ID purposes as their uniforms may be the same or simlar. The official raises the arm with the color of the scoring wrestler and indicates with his fingers how many points were earned.
As far as the references to Andre, Hulk, etc..., that is entertainment not athletics. Just check out their name, World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE).
Yea, I could tell the difference between real wrestling and the WWE stuff. It's easy to tell just by the names. Real wrestling has people like John Smith, and Jose Vasques. WWE has names like Smasher, Digger and so on. See, Jurassic, the study of baby names can be very enlightening and practical!
