Brian Hebner

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Brian Hebner is the son of current Total Nonstop Action (TNA) and former World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) referee Earl Hebner. Brian previously worked as the lead referee on the SmackDown! brand until 2005.

Brian was part of The Alliance during the World Championship Wrestling (WCW)/Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW) invasion as a WCW referee, although he never worked for WCW. He is also known as "The Human Beatbox". Brian "beat boxed" for Brian 'Spanky' Kendrick on the May 1, 2003 edition of Smackdown. He also demonstrated his ability for Kurt Angle on Smackdown on October 9, 2003, on orders from Kurt when he was involved in a "rap off" with John Cena. October 28, 2005 Brian was released from WWE. It is not yet known why he was released but the previous releases of his father Earl and his uncle Dave Hebner a few months back might have contributed to this along with reports of bad behavior.

Brian still referees house shows for the TNA promotion through the UWF, which is run by his uncle Dave.
