The Chicago Sun-Times is reporting that Dick Ebersol, who helped bring WWF to prominence in the 1980s with the creation of Saturday Night’s Main Event, is no longer with NBC Universal. Ebersol held the post of Sports Group President, had a contract through 2012 and those within the company looked at his departure as a surprise.
Ebersol was a friend and supporter of Vince McMahon, and helped McMahon upgrade the production of the then WWF product as the company expanded nationally. As mentioned, he was a part of the creation of Saturday Night’s Main Event and also helped found the XFL.
