Heidenreich Had An Idea To Return To WWE As A Stalker Of Vince McMahon

Heidenreich joined WWE in 2003 where he was “controlled” by an entity known as “Little Johnny.” Throughout his career, he had a number of gimmicks, with many of them being more outside the box or falling into a “weird” category.

In 2006, he was released after going on a run with Animal as the new Legion Of Doom.

Speaking to Chris Van Vliet on Insight, Heidenreich shared his idea of a WWE return.

“I like the character Heidenreich. Always in my mind, I thought I would go back. I had an idea to come back. I didn’t even think about telling you this. I never went back, but I wanted to. I just probably just didn’t know how to approach it to do it. If I would have went back, could I say the idea I always thought about?

“I thought they would show from my perspective, somebody watching Vince, almost stalking him, and whatnot, but never show it’s me. Eventually, I abduct him from the show. I take him and I put him in a trunk, and I bring him to a building, and they still don’t know. He’s missing, and then eventually I have him chained in a building with a light or something, low light. Then I walk up, and you see the red gloves, and then I read him a poem. My thing is, you cut me, you took my life from me, you took my world. That was my world, and I was gonna abduct him and make him pay, and I guess try to make him re-sign me or something, but it was gonna be kind of outside, not just getting back to wrestling, being like he robbed me of everything. Because it was a big thing.”

He never returned to WWE, and stopped wrestling in 2018.

Elsewhere during the interview, he discussed the infamous segment with Michael Cole.
