WWE fires Brian Hebner

Recommended Posts

Referee Brian Hebner has been fired by WWE. No details have been revealed as to why he was let go. It should be noted that Brian has had some behavior issues in the past. Earl and Dave Hebner coming under hot water from WWE management back in the summer and then being subsequently fired probably didn't help matters. WWE is now Hebner-less for the first time since the 80's. Referee Chris Kay was moved from Raw to Smackdown to make up for the loss.

Bummer. Brian Hebner was the only other referee besides Nik Patrick who actually had a memorable character, especially after his Dad left.

There's enough heel boss' on Raw. I'm sure Bischoff, Steph and Vince will be filling the role as ref on an occasion or two.

Anybody want to shed some light as to what this "behaviour issue" thing is about?

 

I know he had some personality conflicts with one of the top refs of the show he was on, which resulted in him getting transferred from SD to RAW, if I remember correctly.

I hope I'm not the only person who remembers him beatboxing for John Cena...

 

I remember him doing that for Bryan "Spanky" Kendrick on SD! a couple of years back. Spanky was rappin' some stuff to john Cena. I don't remember doing it WITH Cena, though.

Spanky came out and said he had a rap but he needed a bit and Cena made Brian give him one. I have it on my computer.

He made a scene during one of their tours of England a few months ago. I don't remember the specifics, but he got very drunk and made a complete fool of himself in public. I'm pretty sure it wasn't the first time he had done something like that, and it was felt that his dad had pulled some strings to keep Brian his job. With no dad around, Brian had no safety net, and he was living on borrowed time.
