But why did he allow this to happen?

He shouldn’t have had to cut his hair. Hair in no way would have helped him win the match.

He should have been banned.

I'd like Andy Johnson to man-the-F-up but nobody see's him doing that either.

She should that was complete garbage. Now that boy has to remember that forever

C

As he should be.

Why didn't he just say no? What's more important your hair or awrestling record? I have a foot long beard. Guess who I've cut it off for, not a f'n soul.

2 seasons?

Kind of hard to fire someone for enforcing the rules.

I agree he put his hand on a child he needs to be fired

'Banned Years For DreadLock Cutting'. Clearly tells me that Wrestling association doesn't trust own refs to make own calls regarding player's and others safety.

he wants to destroy a persons career over a small piece of his hair being cut really? if u feel THAT strongly why didnt u just refuse at the time to cut it? anyways this is just lawyers whipping up fake outrage cause they still want to sue. It always comes round to $$$ in america

He needed to be permanently banned!

GeorgeBos7 zakcheneyrice I think you misspelled 'white supremacists look the other way when confronted with white supremacist behavior by fellow politicians'. Which (although true) has nothing to do with someone walking the path of forgiveness instead of fighting hate with hate.
