an official is NOT bigger than the match and not sure if it is the same official but I've saw one that while laying on mat observing fall situation will turn away, turn back, turn away like he is deliberately clowning and give a long whistle and slap the mat in a slow soft fashion while looking at the crowd.

This same official is very animated and yes appears to be having fun and even jokes with the wrestlers which many enjoy but my major concern is someone possibly being injured from a potentially dangerous position, high bridge or something due to not being on top of the action.
