Longtime pro wrestling referee Brian Hebner took to Twitter to announce the news that he’s departing the National Wrestling Alliance. Hebner has been working with the organization for several years, dating back to the NWA 70th Anniversary Show in the fall of 2018. Hebner thanked NWA owner Billy Corgan and the current Worlds Heavyweight Champion Nick Aldis for believing in his abilities.
Want to thank @nwa and @Billy for a great few years of nothing but a great professional experience. I learned & grew so much as my job extended more than just refereeing. Want to REALLY thank @RealNickAldis who has never not believed in me and my abilities. Time to move on 🙏#123
