Earl the Referee

**Earl the Referee** is a NoDQ CAW Superstar who debuted in Season 1.

## Appearance

Earl is a human male of average height and weight with an unathletic appearance. His in-game character model bears resemblance to former WWE referee Earl Hebner. Earl wears a referee's uniform- a black and white striped T-shirt, black trousers and black shoes.

## NoDQ CAW History

Earl debuted in the first episode of NoDQ CAW and would officiate almost every match after that point up to and including End Of An Era that physically required a referee to be present, before returning to officiate the main event of Bragging Rights in Season 9. Earl sometimes took bizarrely elaborate routes to check a pin or submission hold was legal, with Wade Needham often noting he was out of position to check what could have been a match-ending scenario. In some instances, particularly in Spider-Man's case, this led to a match going a different way to how it may have otherwise turned out. Regardless, in most instances Earl did a fair and just job. Owing to how the referee is programmed in *WWE WrestleMania XIX*, Earl is astonishingly resilient and will get to his feet from most attacks in no time at all. This is the likely reason "ref bump" spots are common from Season 5 onwards but practically non-existent before that stage.

Earl rarely featured in storylines but he was a notable part of a couple of interesting moments. In match 5, Freddy Krueger aim a Lucid Dream at the Hulk but the Hulk would dodge and Freddy would hit Earl with the move. For this, Freddy would be disqualified and eliminated from the NoDQ CAW Cup. At True Pain, Earl would attack Superman after Superman repeatedly attacked him throughout the match. Regardless, Earl called the match fairly afterwards. It was in this match that Wade Needham referred to the referee as Earl, suggesting he is likely named after Earl Hebner, who he resembles.
