• Mike Chioda On Why Vince McMahon Doesn’t Want Referees’ Names Mentioned On TV
Former WWE referee Mike Chioda recently spoke to Conrad Thompson to answer questions of fans.
A fan asked him why Vince McMahon doesn’t want referees to be called by their names most of the times on TV.
Below is what he replied:
“It was one night at TV on a RAW show. Vince kept hearing the referee’s name and he didn’t know who that referee was. I don’t want to say his name, but he just didn’t recognize the referee at all.
He heard the announcers saying referees’ names too many times. He had a fit right there and said, ‘I don’t want to hear anymore referees’ names on TV at all. Do not mention their names anymore.’
Ever since that night, they stopped announcing referees’ names. He thought the referees’ names took up too much time on the broadcast show.”
