Mike Chioda discussed how aware the referees need to be for matches during a new Mailbag Monday for AdFreeShows.
Of course, Chioda has overseen many matches over his lengthy referee career in WWE.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
Information you have to know going into the match: “You have to know the match in and out. You have to know what the false finishes are, the heat spots, time cues, how much time they want before they go on break, how much time they want going off the air to a go-home cue.”
The uniform: “You have to go out and get your own shirts or else they’ll supply these shirts like the Vince McMahon shirts. They’re thick material shirts. I used to get all my shirts at Dick’s [Sporting Goods] for many years.”
