Former WWE Vice President of Government Relations and Risk Management and Warrior Award recipient Rich Hering appeared on the “Ciliberto and Friends” podcast to talk about a number of topics, including officiating the Randy Savage and Miss Elizabeth wedding at WWE Summerslam 1991.
Hering said, “That was the largest wedding I ever did. It was in Madison Square Garden. I’m still getting residual checks. They were going to do the wedding in Madison Square Garden, and I was talking to Vince [McMahon] and Pat Patterson about getting someone to do the wedding. Vince said to me, ‘You’re a judge.’ ‘Yeah.’ I was Town of Liberty, Associate Village of Liberty, and Fallsburg Town Judge for four, five, six months when there was a vacancy of both judges. I was appointed by the chief judge in the Fallsburg court, which I held for several months. [Vince] says, ‘Rich, you’d be the perfect person to do the ceremony.’ ‘Yeah, I’ve done quite a number of them over the years.’ That’s how that happened.”
