Charles Robinson (born July 2, 1964) is an American professional wrestling referee. Robinson is best known for his appearances with World Championship Wrestling and World Wrestling Entertainment.
History
While growing up, Robinson studied National Wrestling Alliance referee Tommy Young in order to hone his mannerisms as a referee.
Robinson repeatedly petitioned the World Championship Wrestling professional wrestling promotion for a job, and in 1998 he was given a tryout match, refeering a dark bout between Chris Taylor and a jobber. Savage, who had been suspended by Flair (then the WCW President), proposed a match between his girlfriend, Gorgeous George, and Robinson, with Savage to be reinstated if George defeated Robinson. The match, which marked Robinson's wrestling debut, took place at Slamboree 1999 on May 9, 1999. Robinson, dubbed "Little Naitch" (a reference to Flair's nickname, the "Nature Boy"), came to the ring in a robe similar to those worn by Flair, and mimicked Flair's mannerisms, signature strut and "wooo" catchphrase. Robinson emulated Flair throughout the match, using Flair's customary illegal tactics, but was defeated by George, who pinned him following a diving elbow drop. Robinson wrestled his second match one week later, teaming with Flair to face Randy Savage and Madusa on an episode of WCW Monday Nitro. Flair and Robinson ruled WCW until they were unseated by Sting, with Robinson returning to his refereeing duties.
When WCW was purchased by the World Wrestling Federation in March 2001, Robinson was hired by the WWF.
