Browsing through Honig's catalog. Wondering something. Why do wrestling officials need a red and a green armband?

One wrestler is designated by the red, the other by the green, this way the scorer knows who received the points. So if the referee holds two fingers up with the arm that has the red band the red wrestler gets the points.

When the wrestlers come the are assigned a color (red or green) then when they score a point the referee has a red band on one hand and green band on the other. To signal the point he signals w/the corresponding color.

Marvelous choice of colors.
Which two colors are most frequently mistaken by scorers that are color-vision challenged?

blue and yellow?

BTW, do we have any statistics on how many wrestling scorekeepers are color-vision challenged?

What about the time he lost to Andre the Giant and then Andre immediately turned and relinquished the belt to. . . darn, I forget who he gave it to.

Hulk lost the title, Andre gave it up, and Wrestlemania I was born. LOL

I think that Andre gave it to the Million Dollar Man. But they had to cheat to do it. They hired an evil referee, who was an identical twin brother of the regular referee, and snuck him into the ring. The evil referee then screwed poor old Hulk. Counted to 3 even though Hulk got his shoulder up. Hulk shoulda known better though. The evil referee had red armbands on both arms, and Hulk was wearing green.

PS- The evil referee's name was Bill Kennedy.

Hmmmmmmmm.

I coulda swore Andre gave it up to Indigo Montoya, who then proceeded to track down and kill the Six-fingered Man. Of course, the Dread Pirate Roberts eventually took the crown and saved the Princess Bride from her horrible fate.

Yep, it was. Ted DeBiossie. I thought so, but couldn't remember for sure. (Plus, I didn't want to seem too knowledgable about the WWF.) That was when wrestling was fun, instead of being soft-core porn.
