I\u2019m five months onto the main roster. He\u2019s asking me to produce a match of his, so he invented TJ, the producer [laughs]. I didn\u2019t produce it, but it was Jericho and [The Big Show] against Cryme Tyme. He said, \u2018Man, you\u2019ve really figured Cryme Tyme out.

He worked for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/wwe\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">WWE<\/a> from 1988 to 2005 and for AEW from 2019 to 2021. He has officiated in some of the biggest matches across both promotions. Hebner is now ready to put his experience to good use.<\/p>\n<p>During a recent appearance on <em>Reffin It Up<\/em> with Brian Hebner, Jimmy Korderas, and Daniel Spencer, Earl Hebner revealed that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/aew\/news-wwe-legend-spoken-chris-jericho-helping-aew-nobody-reached-out\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">he recently spoke to Chris Jericho<\/a> about helping out AEW. He also noted that he was willing to assist other promotions if they wanted him. However, no one has reached out to him yet.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve offered to help AEW and have talked to Jericho, but never heard anything else about it. When [Mike] Chioda got there, I thought that maybe they&#8217;d let him do it, but he&#8217;s not there full-time. I&#8217;m willing to help any of the companies if they want me, but nobody has reached out. If I could help somebody for six months, I would help them.
