Former WWE referee Earl Hebner recently spoke with WrestlingNews.co’s Steve Fall on a number of topics including how he suffered a brain aneurysm on the night before WrestleMania 14, which was the same night he was drinking beer with WWE Hall of Famer The Undertaker.
Hebner said, “Back in 98, I was in Boston, Massachusetts. I had a brain aneurysm during the day before WrestleMania.”And that night I was drinking beer with The Undertaker and I had a big pain in my head. And I said something ain’t right. It ended up that I was having a brain aneurysm and he took me to the New England Medical Center and those people saved my life. So I owe Boston everything. I never made WrestleMania that year. But when we went back down the road, I went there and I must have taken 50 people in the ICU ward to the show. [They] helped me to stay with me and took good care of me so I could make it.”
He also talked about what caused the aneurysm.
“Ted DiBiase hit me in the back of the head with a briefcase one time. He was late getting in the ring and he threw it in and it hit me in the back of the head and knocked me out and messed with one of my eyes and it doesn’t dilate anymore. And I don’t know if it was from that or what, to be honest with you. We have no clue.”
