Long-time WWE referee Dave Hebner has passed away at the age of 73. Brian Hebner took to his podcast and announced that his uncle passed away earlier today.
As of this writing, the details surrounding his passing have not been disclosed. In recent years, we know he had been battling Parkinson’s Disease.
Dave Hebner began his wrestling career in the late 1970s. He began working in Richmond, Virginia as a referee alongside his brother Earl. Dave would go on to join the WWF in the 1980s. Hebner was the “double referee” during the angle that took place between Hulk Hogan and Andre the Giant.
Dave eventually had to undergo knee replacement surgery and he became a road agent for WWE. He served in that role until 2005 when he was released.
