Sad news about Dave Hebner been friends since 1970 when he and baby Earl were setting up the ring. Had much respect for the Hebner’s. They were part of the company biggest angle both are deserving to @WWE HOF. RipHeb

By the time I arrived in @WWE, Dave was a road agent, helping with travel arrangements and a liason with arena staff. He was a super guy and will be missed. #RIPDaveHebner https://t.co/hRvJDHvcyW
