Earl Hebner is one of the most famous referees in pro wrestling history. His son Brian followed in his footsteps and currently works as a referee for Impact Wrestling. His daughter, Katie Hebner, is also looking to step into the ring. However, instead of officiating, she wants to wrestle.
During an interview with Pro Wrestling Junkies, Hebner commented on his daughter’s wrestling training. “I wanted my son in the business, I don’t want my daughter in the business,” Hebner joked. “She’s at AEW training with Cody and Cody is giving her so much help, it’s unreal. Hopefully, she can be the next Gail Kim.”
Back in April, Katie Hebner posted a message on Facebook talking about her experience training with Cody Rhodes and her desire to work for AEW.
She said Cody is, “first and foremost is a wrestler but more importantly the VP of AEW, the company that I had my eyes set on.”
AEW has no shortage of second generation wrestlers on their roster, including Cody and Dustin Rhodes, the Gunn Clubb (sons of Billy Gunn), Hook (son of Taz) and Brock Anderson (son of Arn).
