I've done some homework on WWE Referee Scott Armstrong and I've learned that he does indeed have a wrestling backround outside of being a WWE Referee. Based on what I saw in his match against CM Punk on Smackdown, I think he may have a future as a wrestler! Even though he only hit about two big punches on Punk, I loved what I saw. The question is: How does everybody else in the WWE Universe feel about this?

Are you nuts? The guy might have a wrestling background but he's got to be at least in his 50s. Not a chance!!!!

Oh and please note that not everything may be 100% accurate, this is Wikipedia after all

Joseph James, Jr. (born on May 4, 1959) is a professional wrestler and referee better known as Scott Armstrong. He is the oldest son of Bob Armstrong and has three brothers that wrestle, Brad, Steve and Brian.  He currently works for World Wrestling Entertainment

James started wrestling in 1983 as "Scott Armstrong". He wrestled primarily in the Georgia and Alabama areas but has wrestled for the National Wrestling Alliance's Jim Crockett Promotions and World Championship Wrestling, where he formed a tag team called "The James Boys" with brother Steve. He also wrestled as Dixie Dy-no-mite in Smoky Mountain Wrestling.

He was also a referee for World Championship Wrestling and Total Nonstop Action Wrestling.

Armstrong appeared on the July 28, 2006 episode of SmackDown! refereeing the WWE United States Championship match between Finlay and William Regal. In August 2006, Armstrong was hired as a full time WWE referee, in WWE's ECW brand. He became senior referee in February 2007 after Mickie Henson was moved to SmackDown. He was also the only WWE referee for the ECW brand at WrestleMania XXIV. At WWE's SummerSlam pay-per-view event on August 17, 2008, Armstrong refereed the Hell in a Cell match between Edge and the Undertaker. He then moved to the SmackDown brand becoming its senior official. In November 2008 referees were made no longer exclusive to certain brands.

At WrestleMania XXV on April 5, 2009, Armstrong refereed the main event WWE Championship match between Triple H and Randy Orton.

On September 13, 2009, at Breaking Point, Armstrong was involved in the main event match between World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk and The Undertaker. Armstrong called for the bell and declared Punk the winner, even though The Undertaker never actually submitted defeat, thus making a reference to the Montreal Screwjob (which was held in the same venue in 1997). On October 30, 2009, Armstrong faced CM Punk on SmackDown, but lost in a squash match. This was his first match in years where he wrestled instead of refereeing. Despite his wrestling background, he displayed no wrestling skill in the match, with his only offense being a few punches; he offered no defense, and was defeated quickly.
