The situation first: I was reffing a championship match where I had to suffer a ref bump. While I was out, shenanigans happened and I was to "come to" when the final pinfall was occurring. I was ringside selling, so I walked (read: staggered) around to be in full view of the shoulders, slid my arm in and counted three. In theory, the match is over.
BUT, my boss and booker comes up to me and says he's never seen a ref do this and began arguing with me that in storyline terms, this "ringside count" shouldn't be valid. I defended my point by saying I've seen this before and that a ref can be anywhere he damn well pleases as long as he sees the shoulders, but he doesn't believe me.
So now I ask this: I KNOW I've seen a referee count a pinfall while outside of the ring. Surely someone here must've have seen this occur. I wanna know 1) when and what match this has occurred, and 2) I need video proof of it (as in a link to a video file. Can't afford tapes for now)
Help me shut up my boss.
