There is a fairly new rule (last few years) that says that a ball cannot be declared dead due to distraction from the fans. In the past, if someone were to, say, jump up and scream as a bowler was making their shot, the bowler could redo the shot (if it wasn't to their satisfaction).
The new rule does not allow the rethrow if a bowler is distracted. WRW was one of the main proponents of the new rule and that's probably why Randy mentioned him.
Ironically, not long after the rule was passed, WRW fell victim to it, messing up a shot due to distraction and not being able to do it over.
