Earl Hebner might be my least favorite person in the history of wrestling. Mostly it's because he makes most every match he refs look fake with his stupid knee slip on every two count, I've never understood why Vince or Hogan or somebody didn't tell him to cut that out since it gives away every near fall. He uses a completely different count when it's the finish. But then this "I Screwed Bret" t-shirt thing that he has been doing for years and years is just so stupid, not only because he's still trying to get heat over something that happened 16 years ago, but because it makes him look like an asswipe in the he swore on his kids lives to Bret that he would not screw him, and now he's going around bragging about it.

Dude gets on my nerves, but the one thing I can say in defense of his character is that he and Dave did help put together a benefit wrestling show for the children's hospital down here. The one I went to in 2005 was awesome. |

Earl Hebner looks like a tortoise. In a referee's shirt.

Why were they playing Tommy Dreamer's old theme song ("Man In the Box")?

I'm not sure which is sadder. Hebner still trying to get heat over the Screwjob despite Bret reconciling with everyone involved three years ago, or the fact that fans are actually assaulting Earl over it.

The worst Hebner botch I ever saw was at last year's Lethal Lockdown. Garett Bischoff hit his finish on Daniels, goes for the pin, and Hebner steps over the two and doesn't attempt to make the count.
The spot was, someone was going to break it up, but still, he could have put in some realism. It makes me appreciate the WWE refs and how they try for some realism.

Got a funny Hebner botch story.
I was at a TNA show in Dublin a few years back and Earl was signing autographs and taking pictures in the intermission, so I went over to have a chat and get a photo taken.
Earl was sitting on a chair, those chairs that immediately spring back up when you stand up, I was standing and asked Earl could I get a photo with him so he stood up aswell, then for some reason I sat down, Hebner went to sit down but musnt have realised his seat had folded itself up.
He fell completly on his ass and somehow sort of wedged himself in between two folded up chairs, me and another guy had to pull him back up.
I still feel so terrible about it, although I am a massive Bret Hart fan so maybe it was my subconscious trying to get one back for Montreal.

I guess it's because he's the most well known referree in wrestling, even if he hasn't been in the WWE in years. That could go to a mans head.

I love how everyone involved but 2 people have yet to move on. |
