Gerald Brisco contacted Earl & Dave Hebner to put them together for a meeting with Vince McMahon. It is presumed to be about them possibly coming back to WWE. Earl Hebner was released from WWE on July 18, 2005, allegedly for selling WWE merchandise without permission. Hebner’s brother Dave was released the very next day in connection with these events. Earl is currently a referee for TNA, although it is not known if he officially under contract to them. Furthermore, the Hebner’s, along with Hermie Sadler, run the TNA/UWF house show events, thus meaning that this will not be an easy decision to make because they would obviously have to drop the venture if they were to return to WWE.
RAW on 12/18 from Washington D.C. will be a three-hour show as it will be running from 8:00-11:05 p.m. The decision was made last week. As it turns out, the USA Network had asked for WWE to put on two three-hour RAW shows during the month of December. They eventually compromised for one.
Another 5,000 tickets were released last week for WrestleMania, and they were expected to be gobbled up immediately. The advance ticket sales have likely hit 55,000 by this point. More tickets are scheduled to be released during the ensuing months.
