My Hall of Fame Campaign for Charles Robinson.

[Little Jerry Lawler]

Charles Robinson first started refereeing in 1998 and in the following year was the heel referee for the Four Horseman. He even tagged with Ric Flair against Randy Savage and Madusa.

When WCW was bought by the WWF in 2001, Robinson was hired and was traded to Smackdown in 2002. He has called many famous matches including Eddie Guerrero's last match against Mr. Kennedy in 2005.

Being a referee hasn't been easy for Robinson as he was put in many matches against WWE superstars such as Luther Reigns and The Great Khali.

However, his signature moment will be him running down the ramp at Wrestlemania in the Edge/Undertaker match. Side Note: Please forgive me for the "Chariots of Fire" music as I can't find a good clip.

Announcers and backstage interviewers like Mean Gene Okerlund and Howard Finkel can be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame. I know that Charles Robinson can be the first referee (I think) inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame for the classic moments he has provided us for years and years.

Fucking amazing thread!

Charles Robinson has one of the most impressive resumes out of referees ever. He is a fantastic talent as a referee, a job that actually involves more thought than most would think.the captain of the ship that is a wrestling match.

I am sure that there are other great refs over the times, such as Tim White who could probably make it to the Hall of Fame faster, or even the Hebners, if they were not on bad terms with the WWE.

So here is my official support to get Robinson into the Hall of Fame with you!
