Watch the full interview with Mike Chioda on my main channel here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jLeoftBmxLnagp8.html

How is Mike not doing voice acting?!

Mike sounds like he could be a private investigator in a 1950s film noir. All we’re missing is the leggy blonde walking in.

Only real wrestling fans would know that Mike Chioda is considered the best referee from WWF/WWE. He worked some of the best matches and made some of the best calls when any wrestler nearly/got injured.

Mike needs to do car commercials or discovery channel 😂😂

how is he not in the hall of fame yet?!

OG referee interviews. Need more of that.

This is the first time in my life that I have ever heard Mike Chioda speak and I can safely say that I did not expect him to sound like that.

I swear Mike Chioda never aged one bit just like Coach and Charles Robinson.

Taker face at the end was a meme after that

Really happy Mike clarified the Goldberg side of the situation here (while simultaneously shutting up the marks). It was obviously written in ink that Bill’s concussion came from the ring post spot and not from his entrance.

Two legends. All respect, allowed to have a bad match especially when you’re hurt

Man’s a legend. HOF Referee. But 200k for a 8 minute match If that? Jesus.

I don't think I've ever been more surprised about the difference between what I imagined someone's voice to sound ike and what it actually sounds like than the first time I heard Mike Chioda speak. I watched this dude on my TV for over a decade assuming he had the voice of a corporate pipsqeak like Michael Cole (with all due respect), only to hear him on a podcast a few years ago suddenly sensually caressing my earholes with the smooth silky bass of a baritone that would give Barry White a run for his money. I think I even had to double check to make sure I was listening to the right episode lol

Finally someone close to it who isn't just blaming Goldberg. It was that post spot that ruined it. The fact that the gorilla position let this go on says volumes about WWE management at that time. Since Taker was going over anyway, they should've pivoted more quickly to an improvised finish. Absolutely broke my heart too. These were arguably my two favorite wrestlers growing up. They could've had a great match.

Mike you were always one of my favorite refs growing up. We all appreciate you man

Mike makes Vin Diesel sound high pitched 😂

It's great to hear a proper take on this from someone who knows and not internet buffoons. No one takes into account the travel, the heat, the time difference, the schedule, all topped off by their age. And The Undertaker was just as bad as Goldberg that night yet he didn't even have a concussion. Speaks volumes about the wrestling world... Glad Goldberg got some defence here.

Had no idea that Mike Chioda had so much screen presence and such a good voice until this interview. Great choice in interview subject.

This was perfect timing because I noticed some of the wrestlers not moving as efficiently as they normally do at Crown Jewel and I guessed that it was jet lag/lack of sleep/time zone change…. This confirms it for me

HIs voice like Batman.

These interviews are gold

It’s crazy that I’m 36 years old and remember this guy from every single wrestling event I watched growing up.

I was so upset at this match this was a DREAM MATCH for me. I'm a huge Goldberg and taker fan. Wish they did back in 2003

This match should’ve happened 20 years ago.

Love all your interviews!

Behind the scenes of why Taker vs Goldberg went horribly wrong. Great video Chris

macklemores dad is a fantastic ref

Great Shoot Interview

AUTOBOTS!!!!!!! LETS ROLL OUT!!! ■perfect choice for new Optimus Prime voice-over

Tried watching this fell asleep 3 times listening to mikey smooth voice😂😂😴

Mike is the one refreeyou call in for the best matches. He is so iconic

I would pay to see a conversation between Mike Chioda, The Undertaker, and actor Lance Henriksen. 3 gentlemen with gravely voices.

This is my first time hearing Mike Chioda talk and was not expecting his voice to sound like that lmao

I just realized how much a legend Chioda is. And that 𝘝𝘖𝘐𝘊𝘌😅

His voice is like rain outside of a 24 hour diner on the rough side of town

He was such an underrated ref. He and Lil Nach.

I can listen to mike talk all day

I can't believe that. All the warning signs right there in front of you and the ref saying over and over that it's getting worse and gorilla did nothing about it. I bet they're real glad that there's no union among the wrestlers or else somebody's head would've been rolling for that.

Eldertaker vs Oldberg

glad to hear mike defend goldberg. everyone was trying to say that goldberg was finished before he even entered the ring and then the botches made them even more emboldened. so hearing that he had the match all set in his head during takers entrance and the issue was all the botched post spot was good. whenever there is a concussion they never blame the injured person but it seemed like everyone made an exception for goldberg that day

Chioda goes so unnoticed in-ring. His positioning is incredible. That's a pretty cool talent.

It was a bit of a dream match for me even though I knew the older guys wouldn't be moving like they used to. All honestly the match started off decently. The two spears out the gate was shocking, some brawling, it should have ended on that first tombstone. Just boom, done, the end. Really should have ended after that post spot botch but they just let it keep going and they couldn't do it safely enough. But I didn't even think about the weather and the travel everything just adding up to making it harder and harder to perform.

I hope he addresses that funny Carmella gag with her MITB briefcase

The absolute low end bass in this mans voice. Good lord.

Mike should've start his own wrestling podcast

I never heard him talk before, that voice is awesome

What a voice❤❤..next level villian voice❤❤

Legendary wrestling referee

3:54 says a lot about the people in gorilla......

Should have been Sting vs The Undertaker.

People only hate on Goldberg for this match when taker dumped him right on his head with the tombstone. And not like he did Hogan hahaha

the thing that I noticed right away in that match was how sweaty they were before the match happened .. these 2 were older heat zonks you the older you are plus the jet lag ... this match was recipe for disaster .. if this match had taken place at A mania or arena I think it would of been an amazing popcorn match

Goooodamn!! He has THAT voice?😦 Bro should consider doing cartoon voices or voices for video games 😂😂

Mike's voice cured my impotence

Never knew Mike has a Batman voice 👀

It's just ridiculous how nobody ever says anything about Undertaker dropping Goldberg on his head but everybody cries because Goldberg didn't get the Jackhammer exactly right.

Just saying Mike Chioda had the absolute best pin count. ❤

Interview Charles Robinson next. He's one of my favorite referees.

He sounds like Optimus prime.🖖🏿

“Could have been real scary”???? It was flipping terrifying!

Nobody brings up Taker dropping Goldberg on his head with that Tombstone Piledriver. I'm sure that didn't help.

My favorite referee is Mike Chioda💯

Someone said “Eldertaker vs Oldberg” 😂

Chioda has that voice that would work if he was an apprentice of jigsaw. CHIODA FOR SAW XI!!! Lol

Fun fact, mike actually used to date my neighbor's daughter. He got me and the neighbor's grandson backstage to meet some of the guys. Benoit, cena, rhyno, albert, guerrero, nunzio, kendrick, london, dawn marie. Probably missing a few. Nice dude. He even stopped in with rosie one time who was tag champ and i walked across the street and got to hold the belt

Mike needs to be voice actor for animated batman!

Dude has the deepest voice of all time

Goldberg is in great shape for his age but at that age you can’t perform like your 25 - 35 years old. Look at his legs when he lifts up heavy guys in the jackhammer he’s struggling to keep his legs stabled.

Well Mike Chioda talking is completely unexpected.

Mike Chioda sounds like the sandman lol

Chioda's voice will persuade me to eat Gabagool! Glad he's doing well post-WWE! The voice of a God!

Greatest ref of all time, that’s a fact. I used to complain when high-profile matches didn’t have Mike as the ref.

People forget that Undertakers tombstone put Goldberg head right into mat. Goldberg could have broke his neck too.

Dude could be in the fallout series. He's got a great voice.

We got Taker vs. Goldberg about 10 years too late

Mike Chioda has been with WWE since 1989 he retired in 2022. WWE put him in the Hall of Fame

Damn. Mike should be the next Batman voice actor!

At 3:42 Miguelito Chioda mentions a Billiam/Billy. Who is this Billy guy? The only dude I can sthink of is Billy Kidman, but I thought he had already left the company by then.

That was not about jet lag or sleep. It was about letting senior citizens wrestle in 2019.

"Being in there with Bill Goldberg I can't get nothing but hurt" - Bret Hart

He sounds like a mob boss

Dude should be a voiceover artist

"...rated R, coming to theaters July 6th everywhere..." Lol

I watched this match live. When Goldberg came through the door after head banging it I knew he rang his bell really good! You could see it in his eyes. He was calmer looked vacant he didn’t do any of his trademark neck cranking and snarling as he came down the hall. I think that was when he was concussed. That door was solid. Must doors make a hollow aluminum sound when he bashes it. this door was a solid thunk noise. Whats more he missed his Queue! After he went off camera as he was walking up to gorilla he didn’t appear on the stage for a solid 5 minutes didn’t do his pyro although that might have been due to the heat in the arena but I have no doubt they were checking him out after that head banging. That was way too long before coming out onto the stage.

He has the voice of a random thug in Batman Arkham City

Asking goldberg to do anything other than a spear and a jackhammer is a recipe for disaster

Jesus, I've never heard him talk. Woah!

Sounds like deadly alliance Raiden

I mean both were way past their prime, Taker much more so than Goldberg. If this showed one thing then that both shouldn’t wrestle anymore.

Yeah, Undertaker broke character. He looked pissed. Whereas, normally... normally he would be like...

Not the first time Goldberg got his bell rung by a turnbuckle

He sounds like a super villain in a cartoon

I'm embarrassed because I came expecting to see Mike Shinoda 😂

Did he retire? This dude is like the ref of everyone's childhood. Him and the Hebners.

Mike Chioda sounds like a Mafia boss rather than a wwe referee.

I had no idea that Spawn's secret identity is Mike.

My favorite ref of all time.

Undertaker dropped Goldberg on his head too . Tombstone 🪦

Biggest issue was taker should NOT have won. It made zero sense. Goldberg beat Brock and Rock and all the greats clean. Undertaker did NOT. Meaning Goldberg should have beat Taker clean
