Referee Odie Brown talks about meeting Vince McMahon; being in a WWE Braun Strowman-Kevin Owens segment and the life of a wrestling referee (Exclusive)

Zebra Talk - A group for referees and AEW

All Elite Wrestling is the fresh new wrestling promotion

Referee Odie Brown has also done a lot for the referee community as a whole as he is the founder of the group Zebra Talk -- a one of its kind group for referees.

"Zebra talk is a private group that I started on Facebook, exclusively for referees. It is for anybody that is a referee, who was a referee or is trained to be one from any school level anywhere in the world. We have no exclusivity except for you have to be a referee. The purpose of it is to bring people together and create a network so that we can first and foremost we can know one another. The thing that really motivated me when I made it is that I didn’t know who most of my peers were around the country and around the world, so I just kind of wanted to have an idea who was out there. And in addition to that, it’s a great resource for people who are higher up in the food chain and have more experience to give advice to young people like myself who still have a lot to learn and need to have the answers to the tricky questions sometimes. I started it about two years ago with 25 people on the first night and by the second night there were 200 people and now two years later there are 700 people. The last time that I counted we were in 12 countries, 7 languages. I am very, very, very proud of it and very proud of the people who came together and created a community based around it. It was kind of an idea I had on a whim one night when I was hanging out on my bed and the next thing I know, it has gone live. It’s very optimistic and it is a place to grow together and help one another, serving your fellow men or women. "

He also talked about AEW and the promise that they have.

"A lot of people are very positive about AEW now. I have a lot of friends who work there. It seems like they really take care of their employees and their intentions are to be very worker-friendly as well as to be very audience-friendly. It would be silly to turn down any offer from them if it came across by my table but my goal, even if I do end up working with them, would always be working on the WWE main roster."
