** This is taken to such an extreme that, on one of the few episodes where he has a normal day where nothing bad happens to him, Johnny Gomez is freaking ''terrified'' to be around him, donning a helmet and drinking heavily to calm his nerves, thinking that when something eventually ''does'' happen to Nick, it'll be so big that he'll get caught in the crossfire. He only calms down at the very end when [[spoiler: Nick is abducted by aliens to be anally probed.]]

The referee. He is a grumpy old man who has a very laissez-faire attitude toward the rules, and serves mainly to open the fight and declare the winner once somebody is dead. Was voiced by himself during the show's original run, but couldn't return when the show was UnCanceled due to the fact that he had suffered a stroke. He has fought and killed JudgeJudy and Jesse Camp (both times in matches he wasn't supposed to be a part of) in the Deathmatch ring.
