The family of former WWF referee Dave Hebner has confirmed he died at the age of 73 on Friday.
Hebner began working for the World Wrestling Federation (now World Wrestling Entertainment) in 1986 and became one of the company's key officials. He worked as a manager and road agent when a knee injury forced the end of his refereeing career and was later diagnosed with Parkinson's disease.
His most famous in-ring moment came in February 1988 when he refereed a World Heavyweight Championship clash between Hulk Hogan and Andre the Giant. Hebner and his identical twin brother, Earl, famously both appeared in the ring after Andre beat 'Hollywood' to the title.
