He & his brother Earl are two of the nicest people I’ve ever crossed paths with in Pro Wrestling.” Kane wrote, “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.”

They were part of the company biggest angle both are deserving to @WWE HOF.” We send our deepest condolences to Dave Hebner’s entire family, friend and loved ones. RIP.
