Crossbody of Work Episode 160: Special Guest Referees

Welcome to Crossbody of Work, a show where we break down a wrestler’s career through five of their biggest matches.

Sometimes you need a special referee to bring an extra level to a match. This week we’re looking at five different matches from WWE with special referees. We’ve got Shawn Michaels, AJ Lee, Vince McMahon and more donning the zebra stripes. On top of all these matches, Evan & Javier also talk about:
