A bit of an incident took place during and immediately after Rhino's match with Abyss at the TNA iMPACT! tapings.

According to the Wrestling Observer, during the match, Rhino hurt his ribs and told referee Rudy Charles to rush to the finish. Charles did not hear Rhino, and the match kept going.

After the bout, Rhino reportedly chewed the referee out backstage. Abyss tried to calm the situation down, but Rhino told him to stay out of the argument.

Thats not good but also Rhino need to understand that sometime in the Impact arena it gets loud and might be hard for the Ref to hear what is said but at the same time its his job to get the message so to not make the injury worse I understand both side and I think it was just a mistake and no one really at fault for what happened in the ring

It's no way near the referee's fault. In a packed building full of screaming fans and focusing on the match at hand, a referee doesn't have a real good chance of hearing a wrestler tell him to rush the finish. It's not his fault, I understand why Rhino was mad, but everyone makes mistakes...Hell, he probably made a mistake and thats why he hurt his ribs!
