WWE will induct a referee into the Hall of Fame for the first time!

As for now, there is no update on which referee WWE has chosen to induct into the Hall of Fame class of 2023. The only news is that “it’s someone the entire industry loved.”
When the news hit the internet, the WWE Universe bombarded social media. Fans commented names of the referees who they think deserve to be inducted into the Hall of Fame class this year. Earl Hebner, Mike Chioda, Charles Robinson, Tim White, and Jimmy Korderas are some of the fan favorites.
It’s has to be either Charles Robinson or Mike Chioda. Robinson because he’s been around for years and he was a ref in WCW, officiated the Hogan vs Goldberg world title match. Chioda because practically every fans heard of him, officiated most I quit matchs too.
