Named after WWE Hall of Famer The Ultimate Warrior\u00ae, The Warrior Award is presented to an individual who has exhibited unwavering strength and perseverance and who lives life with the courage and compassion that embodies the indomitable spirit of The Ultimate Warrior.<\/p>\n<p>As WWE\u2019s Senior Vice President of Government Relations and Risk Management, Hering began his career more than 50 years ago with Vince McMahon\u2019s father, Vincent J. McMahon, and helped WWE expand from a regional promotion into the juggernaut it is today. Whether it is leading security efforts, working with state athletic commissions and other organizations on WWE events or overseeing the health and well-being of WWE talent and fans, Hering has consistently gone above and beyond the call of his day-to-day responsibilities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOn behalf of everyone at WWE, we are proud to present Rich Hering with this incredible honor,\u201d said Stephanie McMahon, WWE Chief Brand Officer. \u201cRich has dedicated more than half a century to WWE and the WWE Universe, and has truly seen and done it all. From ensuring the health and safety of WWE Superstars and employees; presiding over the wedding of Macho Man and Miss Elizabeth; and being an \u2018uncle\u2019 to Dana Warrior and her children, Mattie and Indy, there is no one more deserving of this accolade.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Warrior Award presentation will be part of the WWE Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony, streaming tonight exclusively on Peacock at 8 pm ET in the U.S. and on WWE Network everywhere else.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Powell&#8217;s POV:<\/strong><\/span> While I don&#8217;t pretend to know Hering&#8217;s full story, this is more in line with what Ultimate Warrior called for when he suggested that the company have an award for employees who work behind the scenes in WWE. Titus O&#8217;Neil was previously announced as a recipient of the same award.<\/p>\n<div id=\"prowr-3252928849\" class=\"prowr-after-content prowr-entity-placement\"><a class=\"spreaker-player\" href=\"https:\/\/www.spreaker.com\/show\/pwboom\" data-resource=\"show_id=3275525\" data-theme=\"light\" data-playlist=\"show\" data-width=\"100%\" data-height=\"340px\">Listen to \"Pro Wrestling Boom Podcast\" on Spreaker.<\/a><script async src=\"https:\/\/widget.spreaker.com\/widgets.js\"><\/script><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Jason Powell, ProWrestling.net Editor&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":57,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"episode_type":"","audio_file":"","podmotor_file_id":"","podmotor_episode_id":"","cover_image":"","cover_image_id":"","duration":"","filesize":"","filesize_raw":"","date_recorded":"","explicit":"","block":"","itunes_episode_number":"","itunes_title":"","itunes_season_number":"","itunes_episode_type":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[2,4],"tags":[128,3942,101,319,334],"class_list":["post-89401","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-newsticker","category-wwe_news","tag-pro-wrestling","tag-rich-hering","tag-wwe","tag-wwe-hall-of-fame","tag-wwe-hof"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.1 -
