Will he ever be back in the WWE? It's doubtful. He was on Sean Mooney's podcast not along ago, and he is still pissed about how he and his brother were let go in 2005. It sounded like he has no desire to see or speak to Vince.

Earl Hebner for me, is the best referee of all time.

Will he ever be back in the WWE? Nope. He stole from Vince. Vince does not tolerate that. Anything else is pretty much fair game, but if you steal from him, he’s done with you forever.

Best Referee ever is Tim White or Charles Robinson.. This reminds me of a local indy show in my town There is this short fat referee they call squishy (which he gave the nickname to himself based on a Simpsons episode. The Dude sells his own Tshirts and is somehow the top heel. One night they had him stunnering the top heel at the time. He also brags how hes more over then the wrestlers which tells you about the quality of wrestling

If we're talking WWE, I'll still say Charles Robinson. Lil Naitch is king for me, as well. Though much of that could be down to familiarity. Which kind of brings me to my next point(one that may or may not warrant its own thread.): What makes a “good” referee in wrestling, anyways? What makes someone a “bad” referee(at least compared to traditional sports or even stuff like MMA or boxing where it’s easier to tell what a bad referee is compared to something pre determined)

I always thought the best ref (other than Robinson) was Jack Doan or Jimmy Korderas. Those who blended into the background of a match, but are always there when needed and never seemed to blow any big calls.

Him getting fired from the WWE was really deserved. (selling merch out of his car.) He probably gets a good wage being the senior referee (who I think are actual employees) and he steals from his employer like that. What a scumbag. Not only that, but stealing from the wrestlers. Their cut of merch sales may not be huge, but it matters.

Earl is an absolutely atrocious referee. Have AEW stopped using him entirely now? I really hope they have. They use Aubrey Edwards and Bryce Remsburg now instead of him, and they are much better.

Was he the one that kept easedropping in on Austin and Rock when they were trying to have a heart to heart after their WM19 match? I remember rock kept pushing him away but he wouldn't take the hint.
Like dude, f*** off man

He was kind of funny/entertaining when he did little stuff like push back against HHH. When they made him more and more of a character it went off the rails. Having him as part of full fledged angles in TNA was just insufferable
