The legendary referee Mike Chioda spent 31 years in WWE before he was recently released by the company. During the latest episode of the AdFreeShows Monday Mailbag with Mike Chioda, the longtime WWE referee Mike Chioda spoke about a memorable time he had with star rapper Snoop Dogg. He went on to reveal that he smoked weed. He also spoke about the time Wiz Khalifa made an appearance for the company during an annual test for marijuana. It was previously noted that WWE Smackdown star had ordered drugs in mail.
On smoking weed, he said:
“Everybody got a little turn in there. I think it was Orlando when he showed up at one of the WrestleMania’s,” Chioda said. “He had his own camper out there and he’d bring in certain tour buses, and campers, and everything. I went in there and met him, smizzed up a little bit.
“There was a bunch of guys, Wiz Khalifa in Pittsburgh, never got to smoke with him though. Everybody was jealous because we were getting tested that day for marijuana and we had to pay a fine for marijuana $2,500. The drug testers were there and here’s Wiz Khalifa just blowing big stogies, the whole f***ing hallway reeked as we’re on our way to take our drug test. Some of the guys walked by and were going to blame the hallway for breathing that s–t in. You can’t top Snoop Dogg though, there’s no way.”
Chioda first appeared for the WWE in 1989 but became a regular referee for the promotion around WWE Survivor Series 1992. Chioda had been the official for some of the most iconic matches in the WWE, including the 1-2-3 Kid’s upset of Razor Ramon on Raw, Shawn Michael vs. Steve Austin at ‘Mania 14, a Brock Lesnar vs. Big Show match on Smackdown when the ring collapsed after Lesnar superplexed Show and John Cena vs. The Rock at ‘Mania 33.
