UWF officials announced today that the first challenge for "CAPITAL PUNISHMENT" has been made, and it may surprise you.
Anyone that watched TNA's Hard Justice PPV last night saw Earl Hebner attack TNA official Slick Johnson. His actions, as well as those at Slammiversary and at recent UWF/TNA house shows have angered many, but nobody more then Earl's son, Brian Hebner. Brian, a former WWE official, is an established wrestling personality in his own right, and based on his statement below, he is tired of living in the shadow of his famous father.
Statement from Brian Hebner:
"For my entire life, I have been proud to be the son of Earl Hebner, without doubt the most accomplished referee in the history of professional wrestling. He has worked more main events and title matches than anyone in the business. The sad fact is, however, is that the two things he is most remembered for is the Bret Hart incident in Montreal, and what he did to Sting and Christian Cage at TNA's Slammiversary.
I had originally thought that TNA would give my dad an opportunity to start over, and finish his career in the fashion that I thought it deserved. Instead, his recent actions have done nothing but embarrass me and the entire Hebner family. It is time that I make a stand and start looking out for myself.
I have asked UWF management for a match against my dad at "Capital Punishment" in Richmond, our hometown, on September 29. Do not get me wrong, I do not want to hurt him, just embarrass him like he has embarrassed me and our family. I have signed a contract for a no disqualification "HAIR v. HAIR" match. I am certain that once he has to shave his head in front of thousands of his family, friends, and fans, only then will he truly understand how his actions have affected his family, our relationship, and more importantly, my ability to make a name for myself in this business."
TNA Stars confirmed for this event include AJ Styles, Christopher Daniels, The James Gang, Jeff Jarrett, Rhino, Samoa Joe, Alex Shelley, Chris Sabin, LAX (Konnan, Hernandez and Homicide), Abyss, Sonjay Dutt, and many others.
