Former WWE referee Mike Chioda appeared on an episode of the "Universal Wrestling" Podcast to discuss a number of topics such as how former AEW Star Cody Rhodes tried to get him a position in the company to train the referees or to help them out in any other way he can.
Mike Chioda said:
“Tony Khan is not a big fan of the referees.” “He’s bringing in all the talent. I’d love to be there. I would have love to been there and worked a little bit wherever or whatever he wanted me to do. I remember Cody [Rhodes] trying to get me in to train the referees or to help them out or just to do my thing.”
Mike Chioda also talked about how despite things are getting out of control in AEW due to the talents they have they still have a good thing going on as well as a good vibe and he thinks they should hold more internationals show as he believes they will really sell out and make a lot of money.
Mike Chioda said:
“They got a great vibe going on over there. I know things are out of control a little bit or something going on, but that just comes with talent. You gotta have certain guys running that certain decision of talent relations that control the talent.”
“They don’t travel international, I don’t know why. They should make it and break it out to internationals. I think they’d really sell out and make a lot of money.”
