Bully stated that referee Paul Turner should have begun threatening to disqualify Ospreay when Callis returned ringside, and the failure to do so was one of his biggest knocks against the match. The radio host went into depth explaining exactly why this is a bad thing for a wrestling audience.
“You force me, mentally, out of the story,” Bully stated. “I’m so immersed in what is going on, and now I see a manager come back that got thrown out? I’m immediately saying, ‘Okay, why’s the referee not throwing him out?’ You’ve taken my attention and you’ve forced it on something that it should never be forced on.”
To take things a step further, Bully pointed out that Callis got physically involved in the match after returning from ejection. It once again caused him to think about the referee’s lack of authority in the match.
“There’s no logic,” Bully said. “They could have done it the right way, because if they had brought Don back down and went right into the spot that led to the finish, then it could have made sense. But Don was down there entirely too long. [It] takes all the credibility off the ref that they worked so hard to get on the ref, because the ref did throw Don Callis out.”
