POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Really grateful for the last two days at the @mike.chioda Referee Masterclass at @storytellers_orlandoflorida.

I’m thankful for every match I’ve gotten to referee and every mentor who has helped me along the way. All of those experiences gave me a foundation that allowed me to really take advantage of the amount of knowledge being shared this weekend and, more importantly, understand how I can take what I learned and apply it to my matches going forward.

It was also great getting to meet and learn alongside so many fellow referees from all across the globe. Being around that many people who are just as passionate about learning and getting better at this craft made the experience even more special.

Thank you to everyone at Storytellers and all of the wrestlers and workers who gave their time and bodies to help us learn during the training and showcase.

And of course, a huge thank you to Mike Chioda for sharing so much of his knowledge and experience with all of us. Getting the opportunity to listen, ask questions, get feedback, and learn from someone who has done this at the highest level for so many years is something I won’t take for granted.

I’m leaving Orlando with a lot to think about, a lot to work on, and a lot that I’m excited to start putting into practice.

Thank you for an incredible weekend. 🦓

I don’t tolerate shenanigans in my ring or you’re getting thrown out!!! Well maybe just a little 😂 Shoutout to @electricsleepimages for capturing such great photos! When I’m in the ring I want to bring an intensity to match the workers while also having some fun. These photos capture all of that. 🦓⚫️⚪️ taken in CATCHPOINT by @woodtheref

Apparently my count was worth arguing about. 😂

I stood by the call.

My glasses did not survive the appeal. 👓💥
