During a recent appearance in Rob van Dams “1 One Art” podcast, the former WWE referee Mike Chioda referee The Rock vs. Hulk Hogan, his experience in the mankind vs. the undertakers Hell in a cell game and other topics.

You can view some highlights from the following podcast:

On Wrestlemania 18 he is a highlight matches: “Yes, in a way certain, you know. Because there were other wrestlemania and so many that I don't want to take away, I can never – because there are so many other wrestlemania where it was just like another situation. As you know, the rock and hogan match, it was not a high-flying match. It was icon vs. icon, it was deported, deported how the crowd reacted to Hogan.

“The other games I made with Brock Lesnar and Kurt Angle and Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar with the money in the bank, Seth Rollins. And Kurt Angle and Shane McMahon. I only have so many games for various reasons because they were only different style of style, you know. It is in the top category, but it is difficult to say that it is number one. For the reaction and all of this – but I don't want to take all the other games away who were incredible and iconic and legendary games that the boys were in the ring as the third man. “

According to his experience in humanity against The Undertaker Hell in a cell game: “I'll tell you how the Mick Foley things come. I remember that I carried Mick and all of this. And you know to see his tooth in his nose, man. I remember how – because he once went on a stretcher. Then we went on a stretcher again to get him, they wanted him on a stretcher. And he asked me, he said, “Mike, was I already on the stretcher?” And I said, “Yes, Mick, you were there once.” He said, “I'm not getting on it.” Stay out of the stretcher: “I don't get on it.” So like you: “Place it on the wear!” I like: “He doesn't get on it.” He says: “I can't get this wear a second time!”

“So he went through the top of the cage, right Rob? He hits this ring. We get in and slide in there. And I thought it was a big snot in the nose. I thought it was my nose – and I knew how the wind had to turn it off, and hit this cage from his back and landed on the back on the back. And that's how I saw it, I look more closely. I am like: “Oh s ** t, mick, your tooth is in your f ** king nose.” His tooth went through his mouth, like his lip and stood in his nose and nostril. I said, “Holy S ** t.” I mean what mick put on his body. It comes up Dark side of the ringcome up. You have to look at it, I think next week or something or a few weeks. But yes, it's pretty cool, man. But what Mick did man … he took hell in a cell to an entire other level, him and the taker. Because I remember that the reviews were through the roof and then were through the roof on Monday just to see, do you know? “

During a recent edition of his podcast “What Hathing When”, Aew broadcaster Tony Schiavone discussed the challenges of autograph directories, Dick Murdoch's five-minute main event and other topics.

You can view some highlights from the following podcast:

For challenges of the autograph directories: “Do you know what is difficult to go out and make autograph obligations? It is the case that you go to your table and sit there and get a number of people. And the lines don't last long unless they are a big star. Then of course they will wrap. But they want to see some people who have not seen them for a long time. But you don't want to leave your table, because maybe someone wants to see you and you won't get the money or you know that you will leave it there. And I've done that before. I walked around to see everyone and I came back and there are four or five people. I think 'f ** k, I'm sorry!' This is because you want to walk around and see everyone and have to stay at your table. That is the difficult part of autograph obligations. “

In his favorite -Omni reminder: “We were in Charlotte and I was the ring announcer in Omni for a long time. I say for a long time that it seems to be a long time. Probably like most of '85 or '86, when Jim Crockett Promotions – after Jim Crockett Promotions took over the TBS slot, I became the ring announcer for the omni. And so I would go down from Atlanta and Ring, and all our talent was out of Atlanta because all Jim Crockett promotions were based in Charlotte. There was always a flight from 11:15 p.m., Eastern Airlines made it from Atlanta to Charlotte. And you know the boys wanted to go into it.

“So we had -and I recently told this story. This Dick Murdoch ran dusty rhodes in the main event in Omni in a steel cage. And I remember before the show started, I am back and Murdoch says: “You have to help me here.” I said, “How can I help you?” He said, “Just keep things in motion because I have to make this flight from 11:15.” And of course this is before all security measures and everything. I said, “Well, I'll do what I can do.” And he came out, they built the cage. Now I know that he is back and jumps on one foot because he wants to build this cage so that he can go. They let the cage built and I roll into the ring. And he goes in and I say: “You won't make this flight.” And he says: “Watch me.” And the F ** King Bell rang and they went in a cage for five minutes. The fans were so angry, but he would make this King flight. And the people shout him and he made a few of his curly ones Three Stoges Spots to entertain the crowd. And that's just one of the things I don't forget. “
