Having spent over three decades working for WWE, referee Mike Chioda had the chance with countless amounts of wrestlers. However, during the latest "Monday Mailbag with Mike Chioda," the veteran official revealed one name he would like to have worked with that he never did.
"I'd have to say, Sting," he revealed.
Even though the two men spent the majority of their careers working for different promotions, Mike Chioda was working for WWE during Sting's run with the company but never got the chance to officiate one of his matches. As Sting is now coming towards the end of his run as an in-ring talent, set to retire at AEW Revolution next year, it doesn't look like Mike Chioda will get the chance unless something drastic changes. Mike Chioda hung up his striped shirt, retiring from active refereeing not too long ago. Mike Chioda's ref retirement coincided with that of "Nature Boy" Ric Flair, with Mike Chioda the extra man in the ring for Ric Flair's "last match."
However, the phrase "never say never" is always lingering in wrestling, Mike Chioda has worked for Tony Khan's company in the past, most recently at 2022's Double Or Nothing and, under the right circumstances, could always make this final dream come true.
