I want to know the answer to the following question:
What determines how the referee acts?
All the background I'm provided with is that "Due to the legitimate role that referees play in wrestling of serving as liaison between the bookers backstage and the wrestlers in the ring (the role of being a final arbitrator is merely kayfabe), the referee is present, even in matches that do not at first glance appear to require a referee (such as a ladder match, as it is no holds barred, and the criteria for victory could theoretically be assessed from afar).". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: no
