On a recent edition of his The Main Event with Earl Hebner podcast, the veteran official spoke about his career in WWE and explained how his brother Dave, also a referee, was a factor.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On how his brother initially pushed him toward the opportunity: “David came home and said, ‘Vince wants to flight us up. He wants to talk to us.’ I said, ‘About what?’ He goes, ‘He wants you to referee.’ I said, ‘I don’t know.’ He said, ‘What do you mean you don’t know?’ I said, ‘I don’t know.’”
On how Hebner finally decided to join with WWE: “Vince came back later, talked to him, he said, ‘Well, you guys think about it and I’ll fly you back up in about a week.’ I said, ‘Okay.’ So, the lady comes in, we’re sitting there and she comes in and gives us an envelope. ‘What is this for?’ She said, ‘Vince asked for your time.’ I looked at it, I went, ‘Holy crap. I’m going to do it.’”
