Below are some top WWE news stories of the day, involving Randy Savage and Vince McMahon.
• Rich Hering, a former longtime WWE executive, revealed that he still receives residuals for officiating the Randy Savage – Miss Elizabeth wedding at WWF SummerSlam 1991.
Hering, who served as WWE’s Senior Vice President of Government Relations and Risk Management, appeared on Ciliberto and Friends and shared the surprising detail about his continued earnings from the iconic wrestling moment.
Here’s what Rich said:
“That was the largest wedding I ever did. It was in Madison Square Garden. I’m still getting residual checks. They were going to do the wedding in Madison Square Garden, and I was talking to Vince (McMahon) and Pat Patterson about getting someone to do the wedding.
Vince said to me, ‘You’re a judge.’ ‘Yeah.’ I was Town of Liberty, Associate Village of Liberty, and Fallsburg Town Judge for four, five, six months when there was a vacancy of both judges.
I was appointed by the chief judge in the Fallsburg court, which I held for several months. [Vince] says, ‘Rich, you’d be the perfect person to do the ceremony.’ ‘Yeah, I’ve done quite a number of them over the years.’ That’s how that happened.”
In 2021, Hering was honored with the WWE Warrior Award during WrestleMania 37 weekend for his decades of contributions to the company.
