Referees - Any favorites?

Bouchie

So little is known about the WWE referees. Does anyone have any info or websites on any of these guys?

Also, does anyone have a specific favorite referee? Up until recently I probably would have said Earl Hebner but he's getting totally old and his "bumps" get more ridiculous everyday. Part of me would still like to see him ref the really big matches just cause he's been doing it for so long.

Anyways I'd say my favorite is Mike Chioda. I met him at a live event and he was pretty cool so ..yeah.

The ref's piss me off so much. Why is it that in NHB matches they always have to try to interfer and stop them from hitting with objects or tell them to get in the ring when it is a No DQ match?? It really pisses me off because it distracts me away from the match. I am so annoyed with there actions. I forget what match it was but it was a No DQ match and the ref was counting a choke and the wrestler who was doing the choking stopped and stood up and looked at the ref and said back the F off it is No DQ! you could tell it was real because the look on the ref's face and the seriousness in the wrestlers eyes. I forget what match it was but I am sure someone remembers. sh*t like that really ticks me off. Not to mention the ref going into a coma when they get hit or knocked down. I could go on for hrs about how they really tick me off with the stupid things they do.

As for the refs themselves. One is Earl Hebner's son Brian, and I know that at least 3 are from WCW. Teddy Long use to be a WWE ref who was a former manager in the WCW.

I think most of that stuff isn't their fault; it's Vince McMahon and his stupid booking. Like when the refs will go outside and get distracted by the slightest things. Spots like that are set up to allow outside interference but they more often than not look stupid. The refs are just doing what they're told to do..no matter how stupid it looks on TV. Vince doesn't see what we all see. I agree though that sometimes they seem to forget what the match rules are.

I'd have to say, Jimmy Korderas (fellow Canuck), met him at a couple of shows in T.O., pretty nice and Timmy White - he's great at getting your signs back, if one of the guys in the ring takes it. LOL!! Seriously, I commend him for taking the HIAC bump a while back (dislocated his shoulder), that was brutal. And I get a kick out of Charles Robinson, I can't help but still call him "Lil'Natch."

I'd have to go with Mike Chioda too.. his best moments come when you see him selling other peoples attacks.. take the match between HHH and Taker at WM17 for example.. Taker is punching HHH and you see Chioda reeling as if he just got struck too.. he just gets well into his matches i guess

Jim Kordera is my fav, 'cause not only he's Canadian, but he also used to hang out in the private club I now go to...plus I met him at a bar once, after a live event in T.O. and he bought me a beer....
