WWE has released former "head referee" Earl Hebner due to what we have been told was the unauthorized selling of merchandise. Hebner's twin brother Dave, who also works for the company, is still with WWE at this time, as is Earl's son Brian.

You Screwed... oh crap, we can't chant that at him anymore. :( I guess we'll have to settle for "Your Dad Screwed Bret", if we get could figure out a chant to make it 3 words, since us wrestling fans have only mastered reading Dr. Seuss books. :P
Coherent post: Well, he fucked up, so fuck him. Out with the old, in with the new.

This is no surpirise... for YEARS, we've known that "Evil" Earl was the bad brother...and "Good" Dave was the decent one. (see: Main Event, 1988 and the resulting "evil twin brother" follow-up that was never mentioned again).
According to WWF Magazine, when they were little, Evil Earl would sneak down on Christmas morning and put his name on all of Good Dave's presents! That dastardly villain finally got what was coming to him!

Apparently you don't know the true "insider" story on this.
Earl and Dave aren't brothers. In 1988 Ted Dibiase payed for Earl "Dryer" to get plastic surgery to look identical to them WWE official Dave Hebner.

I heard Earl Hebner would put on a green monster costume every year to terrorize a town called Whoville in North Dakota.

You should have a picture of MNM with the tagt belts dangling from their crotches.

Nope...the plastic surgery angle was only mentioned in Hogan's post-match tirade. Despite what other smarks and recappers will try to tell you, there was never any plastic surgery angle. Everyone remembers Hogan crying "how much didja' spend for the plastic surgery"...but trust me, they did NOT follow-up on that angle. They went with the evil twin.
WWF Magazine ran a big story about "Hebner's Shadow", around Spring 1988. That's where all the mularkey about Evil Earl and Good Dave comes from (including the AWESOME present-swapping story!). I can dig up the article if you'd like. Even the Apter mags covered it...only they threw in the extra tidbit that Earl (or was it Dave) was previously seen as an NWA referee a few weeks before "Main Event". Jack Tunney did a little on-air segment explaining that they were now double-checking and, as fans, we could be assured that the REAL Dave Hebner would always be in the ring. That was probably in late Feb 88, and the evil brother thing was never mentioned again. When it was safely forgotten, Earl Hebner was mentioned on-air again and that was that.
Oh yeah...and Andre was slammed MANY times before WM3.

Wow, apparently someone missed my sarcasm.
I'd be interested in that WWF Magazine article though.....

Considered it, but this MNM picture actually looks decent.
Scrooge McSuck - July 20, 2005 04:21 AM (GMT)
Eh, I don't like Melinas boots in that picture. Makes her ankles look fat.

May be it's because she's a big fatty.
Scrooge McSuck - July 20, 2005 03:58 PM (GMT)
Uh... yeah, sure. :rolleyes: Or maybe because they are ugly-ass boots.

Touche. Actually, I blame the lighting in that picture. It looks like she has feet like Peggy Hill.

Oh ...well then, why didn't ya' say so :)
I'm used to the usual wrestling board guys who nitpick and declare the plastic surgery angle as gospel. Usually the same guys who think "Turkey on a Pole" was the "last-ever" AWA Match.
But I guess I really just wanted to babble about Evil Earl and Good Dave.

Don't forget the people that say "Shawn Michaels superkicked Marty Jannetty through the barber shop window."

Man that sucks.

How? That's kind of a crime you know. That's like selling bootleg tapes of copyrighted material.
whitemilesdavis - July 21, 2005 05:59 PM (GMT)
From what I'm reading, Ealr was caught bootlegging tapes of Vince having sex with Dave. That's why they both got fired.
Scrooge McSuck - July 21, 2005 06:05 PM (GMT)
... God dammit WMD, nice timing. I'm trying to eat a footlong. :(

Ew. I thought Earl was just selling licensed merchandise from the WWE and Dave got fired because he' Earl's brother. Ew. I don't care if you're even joking.
Ew.
Ew.
No. No.
Bad, WMD! Bad! We do that outside. You go in the corner!
