Jimmy Korderas on AEW referee Aubrey Edwards's role in matches
Former WWE referee Jimmy Korderas shared his perspective on AEW's Aubrey Edwards, the promotion's first full-time female referee.
During an episode of the 'It's My House' podcast, Korderas expressed his opinion on the role of referees in professional wrestling.
"For me, it's more along the lines of, if you are written into a story like I have been in the past that's fine, and you can show a little bit of personality a little bit of character but to do that on a weekly basis and be a distraction. I don't think that's proper, it's different if you, it's part of the story," said Korderas.
