If you’re a fan of pro wrestling this is a name you definitely remember but often overlooked in the ring.

The third man in the ring, the invisible one but also massively important.

We’re talking about Mike Chioda, a 35 year referee for WWE.

You remember his name because while often overlooked he was at the center of the biggest matches in pro wrestling history.

From Hulk Hogan vs The Rock to Shawn Michaels vs “Stone Cold” Steve Austin, Chioda was there.

During the interview one of the matches we focus on is the Hogan vs Rock match at WrestleMania X8.
