In a tournament, there are five referees. There are four flag referees and one main referee. The flag referees raise the flag with the color of the opponent scoring a point. The final decision is made by the main referee.
In "Fire Pro Wrestling Returns," the referees are known by their in-game names, but they are based on real-life wrestling referees. The primary referees featured are "Red Shoes" Unno, who is known for his work in New Japan Pro Wrestling, and the character "Nick Patrick," inspired by the WCW referee. Their appearances and styles reflect their real-world counterparts, adding authenticity to the game's wrestling experience.
You can find the names of former wrestling referees in old wrestling programs, books, documentaries, or by researching online databases and archives. Additionally, some retired referees may have personal websites or social media profiles where they share their experiences and career highlights.
