There's the hope of money in the returns of most people. Reconciling with Bret was a business move that they turned into an angle to try and make money. Warrior and Bruno were issues of mending fences and reconciling past problems to bolster their hall of fame with guys who should have been present to begin with, but even then there's the hope of money down the road based off of that. Aside from draws to the now-we-sell-tickets-for-it Hall of Fame ceremony, they put out a DVD about the Ultimate Warrior and his reconciling with the company, and Madusa has since popped up on Table for 3 and stuff.
Earl Hebner is a referee. There's no money in the hot comeback of a f***ing referee. He may see a posthumous induction years down the line, but there's no reason right now to look past the counterfeit merch crap and bring him back. No money in that.

Wasn't he fired for stealing money? If so, that'll be why. Everyone comes back except people who screw Vince out of his cash. He and his brother Dave were caught selling WWE merch on the side (on their website IIRC) without WWE involvement/awareness/permission. You screw Vince out of money, you're dead to him.

I heard somewhere it was Jack Tunney's dying wish that Earl Hebner be lifetime banned from the WWE for fixing the Andre vs Hogan match which lead to Andre giving the Million $ Man the title. Also I read somewhere that is why Rude is not in the HOF because the McMahon family is honorong Tunney's wishes by upholding his ban for the incendiary comments Rude said about the mother of Big Boss Man.

Because he can barely count a pin properly without flopping around like a fish, for one. They keep Scott Armstrong around and his counts are so bad that I get distracted by them every time. Armstrong's counts are awkward but consistent. Hebner has a completely obvious tell on 2 counts regardless of the situation and it's completely distracting/takes away from the match. I'll take Armstrong every single day.

The guy's always been pretty bad. He's a mediocre referee. No reason at all to bring him back.

Why would a proud member of the TNA Hall of Fame stoop so low? Yeah, I guess he's doing fine. What the hell kind of competition were they engaged in where making out with Earl Hebner is considered "one upping your opponent"?!

Why do they need to bring him back?
Can't they create new refereeing stars???

There would be so many storyline opportunities if they brought back Earl and Dave Hebner as Twin Magic. Really would be a breath of fresh air to the product and bring eyes to the product. I know WWE has staff scout this board for ideas so if you're reading please let Vince know there is money on the table here.

It's a half-assed referee, not a former main eventer, fer crap's sake.

Keep him far away from any product that I'm watching. Please.
Plus the sheer mention of his name being associated with ANY kind of lifetime achievement award of any kind is a kick right in the nether region to actual good refs who were amazing for years upon years, yet the vast majority do not know their names. 70s, 80s, and 90s refs galore that deserve way more than that hack.

Pretty much the bootleg thing. Vince forgives a LOT of things, but stealing money isn't one of them.
