Impact Wrestling referee Brian Hebner believes the Montreal Screwjob was a work and wants his father (Earl Hebner) to be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame.
During a recent appearance on “The Angle Podcast”, Hebner Jr. commented on the current state of refereeing, his dad and uncle deserving to be in the WWE Hall of Fame, and more.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On believing the Montreal Screwjob was a work: “I thought it was a work the whole time, and still do to this day. I think it was one exactly properly done. I just don’t believe it really worked out the way we are told. I know my dad’s end is true, but I don’t think that’s the way it went. I think it was worked.”
On the current state of refereeing: “Nowadays the refs today are trying to get their own s**t in, trying to get their own spots in. No one is paying a ticket to sit their ass in a seat for you. Nobody is paying a dollar to see you do anything in that ring. They may respect what you do, but they are not paying to see you.”
On his dad and uncle deserving to be in the WWE Hall of Fame: “I would love to see my uncle and dad get what they deserve, that being going into the Hall of Fame. That’s the biggest, the most epic place to go. I think they deserve it and there’s nobody on this planet who can tell me why they shouldn’t. For them, that would be the chapter that would make a lot of people happy, including them.”
