How does this guy still have a job? He was too old 10 years ago when he was working in the WWE let alone now.
He ruined a match at Slammiversary I don't remember which one it was but others here noticed it also because I remember reading it in the Slammiversary thread. At 64 I think it's time Earl either works as a Road Agent or retires. When you're such a bad ref that you're hurting matches it's time to go.

Yeah Hebner is pretty f***ing terrible and he really takes away from matches in this day and age. The fact that they try and shoehorn him into angles from time to time also pisses me off to no end. My fiancee f***ing loves him for some reason, she always marks out when he lays down the law or is involved in something, must be because she's only been a fan for a few years and hasn't had to put up with years of crap from Earl.

He has the worst tell when it comes to false finishes. If you've ever seen a Hebner near fall, you'll know what I'm talking about.

The moment when I felt he needed to hang up the zebra stripes was the 2012 Lethal Lockdown match. Garett Bischoff hits his finisher (or what maybe his finisher) on Christopher Daniels, goes for the pin, and Earl Hebner just steps over them before the pinfall was broken up.
I found it on the wrasslor monkey tumblr. I can't post it because it has swears.

Cannot stand him and think if not for Montreal he'd have been gone from WWE well before and never gotten a shot in TNA. It's amazing that the two worst possible refs (Nick Patrick and Earl Hebner) were both THE refs for WCW and WWE/TNA.

Kayfabe wise, how has he kept his job in the first place? First he screws over Hulk Hogan, and then the Montreal Screwjob goes down. He's like the Joey Crawford of pro wrestling.

Well with Montreal he was doing what the boss wanted so why would he get fired? I think on the Hogan thing, didn't Hogan forgive him and say he deserved another shot?

Earl Hebner is the worst mainstream referee in history; absolutely terrible in every way. He doesn't even look at shoulders when counting!
Now, go tell him that on twitter and enjoy the reaction.

I think Hebner should've gone after he wrecked the finish to RVD/King back in December. They literally had to improvise on the fly because he screwed the pin up.

Earl is a terrible ref but Brian Hebner is even worst. When Brian is officiating a match he always acts like it his first time ever and he is unsure about the rules.

Good old Earl, he's the only one that hasn't let Montreal go. Everyone else involved has forgotten about it, and let it go, but not Earl.
