Earl Hebner Says Working For WWE Made Him Feel Like A Prisoner
In an interview with Wrestling Inc, Earl Hebner spoke about his time in the WWE and said that he felt like a prisoner when he was working there. Here are highlights:
On AEW vs. WWE: “It doesn’t feel like you’re in prison here. You’ve got more leeway and it’s more relaxing. It felt like you were in a prisoner in WWE but not in AEW. This is just a more laid back company and at my age, this is great for me.”
On his most memorable moments: “The first one would be Saturday Night Main Event when I screwed Hogan. And the next one would be the Bret Hart deal [Montreal Screwjob]. It made a name for me…I don’t think they are ever gonna let that go. It’s gotta be over 20 years ago… [The fans] wanna torture me but I’m torturing them!”
On what he thought of the Hell in a Cell match between Seth Rollins and Bray Wyatt: “I don’t watch their product.”
