Current TNA referee and former WWE referee Earl Hebner was interviewed by the Miami Herald this morning and had the following to say:

"Now that I'm not with WWE, and I'm with TNA, I get more opportunities to come to independent shows and have fun. I'm more relaxed now. Once WWE went public, it was run like a prison camp."

"Right now it's just refereeing, but I think it's going to get around to doing other things. I like training the young refs, make good refs, because there's not many of them around. When I went to TNA, I told them I didn't want to take anybodies job. I was there to help them. I want to help that company so much because they're growing good, and I just want Vince McMahon to know there's other promoters in this wrestling business besides himself.''

"I would never go back to WWE, but if that's what he wants. The reason I wouldn't go back to WWE is because I wouldn't be happy there. Even though it is more money than TNA pays me, TNA makes me happier. It's not a money factor for me now. It's being happy doing what you're doing and enjoying it.''

Dude he's a ref making ref money. He's not Shawn Michaels making Shawn Michaels money. That's like blaming the...I can't think of an example that goes here but you get the picture. Plus any blame you put on Earl, would be differed from blame that should rightfully go on Vince the douche.
