🚨 KING ME: REV’S HYPE PODCAST – NEW EPISODE ALERT! 🚨

We just dropped a great conversation with Ref Nick Mitchell — one of the most respected referees in the New England indie wrestling scene!

Nick trained at Paradise Alley Pro Wrestling under Paul Roma and Mario Mancini. He’s currently serving as Head of Talent Relations for Pure Vanguard Wrestling and has been earning serious respect as a sharp, reliable referee who keeps matches safe and flowing smoothly.

In this episode, we break down what it really takes to be a professional wrestling referee:

• How Nick went from a passionate fan to stepping into the ring as an official
• What his training experience at Paradise Alley was actually like
• The big difference between training and calling live matches under the bright lights
• Wild, funny, and intense stories from inside the ring as a referee
• His role as Head of Talent Relations at PVW — what the job really looks like behind the scenes
• The mental side of refereeing: staying neutral, making fast decisions, ring psychology, and handling pressure
• How referees are the unsung heroes who shape every match without stealing the spotlight

We also had a real and meaningful conversation about Father’s Day — Nick opened up about being a father, balancing family life with the demanding schedule of indie wrestling, and what the day means to him as a dad in this business.

This episode is full of insight, respect for the craft, laughs, and good energy. If you’re a wrestling fan, wrestler, aspiring referee, or just appreciate the people who make the show run, this one’s for you.

Referees are the glue that holds pro wrestling together — and Nick Mitchell is doing it at a high level.
