The legendary referee Earl Hebner has been around a while and at 70 the veteran of the ring may be looking to slow down a little. 

Last year, Hebner signed a deal to join AEW but hasn't been seen on screen for a while and there is a very good reason for that, he is winding down and is only appearing for special events and of course, is keeping safe during the on-going coronavirus pandemic.

In an interview with VOC Nation, Earl Hebner admitted he is "no spring chicken" and is "running out of gas."

"It’s been great, the traveling is not one of my deals now. Cody and I worked out a deal where I only work when I’m needed. I don’t want to work all the TV and the house shows and stuff like that. Whenever he needs me, he’s got my number and he can call me. I’m running out of gas. I’m not a spring chicken anymore. I just want to do the things that I’m needed for the most, and the rest of it, the young boy can handle it."
