What is it like for referees on the road? Do you have to pay for your hotel, flight, rental etc? Is there a per diem?

Hey Mike and Pauly B! Loved seeing you guys in Chitown. First off, you guys are so spoiled with good QB play the last 20 yrs that you forget you're a couple moves away from being a garbage ass team. I've seen more downfield aggressiveness in a peewee football game than your OC Canada brings. As long as you beat the Browns twice, I'm good. That being said, I wanted to know yalls opinion the notion that the dynasty is slipping. The yinzers hate Rudolph but he's been in the system for years. You'd rather trot out Trubisky or a rookie instead of Rudolph? What? Rudolph was hated by Ben, damn near killed on field, told he's gonna be traded every year, yet has handled all that with class.....just to be forgotten. I hope he gets a chance to go somewhere else, play yall, and shit directly down the yinzers throats. Anyway, love you guys and love the show! Keep up the good work! You're favorite, THE James Elkouri

Yo! Pauly B and Mike C! Yall two are cooler than cool, yall are ice cold 😎 Mike, I'm always thankful to hear your stories. And Pauly B, man I am thankful that you are the host! You are the man! And thank yall for putting up with my Steelers hate! 1. Mike, were there instances where there was real life beef between opponents and you had to make sure it didn't become a shoot fight in the ring? 2. Being in the wrestling business for so long, do you ever find yourself thinking "oh that's a work" or "that's all staged". For example, sports (oh that'd rigged for Brady or LeBron (or whoever) to win another one). I remember Jim Ross once saying he's been in wrestling so long that he saw so many things as staged, or a work 3. Who's the best player in the NFL right now? I know the qb position is held higher than all other positions but you gotta hand it to Micah Parsons. Dude is a beast! But Josh Allen is doing his thing too. 4. And of course....I have much hatred towards the steelers, but love you guys! Peace out!✌🏽

Is 2022 the most news worthy year in wrestling ever? We’ve had the CM Punk drama, Mr. McMahon leaving, Ric Flair’s last match and the controversial PWI 500. Go NY Football Giants.

Sir could you please talk about proper selling as a referee and overselling and the role of a ref in adding to the match?

Do you feel that fans who wear those replica belts out in public should be defending them? If so, what's your going rate to referee/officiate a match? Maybe Mike could get Tony Chimel involved as the ring announcer! What are Mike and Paulie's thoughts on this year's PWI 500?

Hi guys hope all is well with you both. Mike sorry to bring up an emotional topic, but if Joey Marella didn’t pass away do you think he’d still be refereeing today? Or do you think he would of gone on to do something else? I remember reading in WWF magazine about his passing and how shocking it was. Paul if you ever make a trip to Montreal I’d be happy to help you destroy your diet lol and drinks on me. Take care boys!!

Uh oh, not sure if I'm making it in time. Paul, Mike told you a long time ago that it was your responsibility to remind me to post my questions! So anyhow here's some off the wall stuff 1)This can be for both of you, but Gorilla Monsoon used to love to do 'inside ribs' during commentary, how long did it take to finally understand what he was talking about? My personal favorite was 'He's a graduate of the Terry Garvin school of self defense', it was a long time before I finally 'got it' 2)Since you haven't talked about foot fetishes lately, any memories of ring announcer Mel Phillips? I heard he was a big aficionado of feet 3)Another memory question, any good memories of the Rosati sisters? They seemed like fun loving girls and I'm sure you were in love with them 4)And finally, how sad are you that Tom 'Shady' choked against the Packers last sunday?

Hey Paul and Mike. I was wondering with the lights going out at TV Tapings between segments and referees needing to make their way down the aisle in semi darkness, has Mike ever had an incident (like tripped or run into the ring steps) on the way to the ring or know of anybody having done so? Thanks as always, guys. Best show on Ad Free!

It was an honor to meet you both at TGW...and to meet Mr. Chioda at last year's TGW. I got two questions. 1. I became a fan of Alex Zayne during New Japan Best of The Super Juniors and how how names his moves after food items from his favorite restaurants Taco Bell...i.e Baha Blast, Cinnamon Twist, Taco Driver..question for both of you..if you were a wrestler and did as Mr. Zayne does..what restaurants and food items(just maybe a couple) would your moves be named after 2. Has Mr. Chioda ever met and have any stories of any of the popular refs from New Japan..such as Kenta Sato, Marty Asami, the legendary Tiger Hattori, or my personal favorite "Red Shoes" Unno
