Chioda was asked whether he preferred a high-impact finisher or a submission move. The veteran referee responded by saying that he loved any maneuver that was impactful.
Chioda singled out the F5 in particular. He said that while the F5 had impact, there was one problem with the move, especially when Brock Lesnar hit it on larger men. Mike Chioda explained that the F5 didn’t have the same visual effect on large competitors as it did on his smaller opponents.
While it also depended on how the performers sold for the F5, Chioda believed that the F5 looked much better when done on wrestlers smaller than Brock Lesnar.
