Nick Papagiorgio has been a referee in the great sport of Pro Wrestling for nearly 15 years. He's been as close to the action as you can get but has found out the hard way, sometimes you can get too close! Nick has worked with a ton of names in the business as well as many who would later become names. He's witnessed injuries, bloody brawls, death-defying acrobatics, unruly crowds and some of the most entertaining moments in wrestling history. We discuss some of his memories here.

We also chat a bit about his time in the military and the effect it had on him then and now.
