5 Incredible WWE matches you may not know Mike Chioda was the referee for

#4 WrestleMania X8 — The Rock vs Hulk Hogan

The Rock vs Hulk Hogan

Known as one of the most iconic matches of all time, The Rock and 'Hollywood' Hulk Hogan met in the ring at WrestleMania X8. It was a clash between two generations of wrestlers. The two were the leading faces of wrestling in their time, and after having been separated by the Monday Night Wars, Hulk Hogan and The Rock were finally meeting in the ring.

It was every bit as legendary as it could have been imagined, and the crowd was surprisingly in favor of both Superstars, cheering for both at different times of the match.

The Rock started acting like a heel and it was one of the best moments, despite being a babyface for the brand. He could read and react to the crowd, and at that time, that was exactly what worked for him.

Chioda has even talked about having goosebumps during this match due to the incredible reactions by the crowd. It was something that was unthinkable, and being the referee in such a match, he did his job extremely well. There was no controversy and he helped both Superstars put on an incredible encounter while remaining comparatively invisible during proceedings.
