Heidenreich Wanted To Make WWE Return As ‘Stalker’ Character Who Would Eventually ‘Abduct Vince McMahon

WWE

Heidenreich has revealed a pitch he had in his mind for a potential WWE return that would have seen him abduct Vince McMahon.

Released on January 17, 2006, Heidenreich has effectively retired from in-ring action after a run on the independent wrestling scene.

When it comes to a potential return, Heidenreich revealed a pitch involving Vince McMahon and abduction,

Speaking on Insight with Chris Van Vliet, the former WWE Tag Team Champion revealed that bitterness over his release would play into the story he wanted to tell.

“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?”

“(Van Vliet replies “of course”) I thought they would show from my perspective, somebody watching Vince (McMahon), 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.”

Poems would be a theme to Heidenreich’s final months in WWE, with the star regaling all and sundry with his “Disasterpieces”.

During the interview, Heidenreich would reveal that his “bad decisions” were a contributing factor to his being released by WWE.

Remembered For Disturbing Reasons

WWE PLE matches against The Undertaker, a Tag Team Championship run with Road Warrior Animal as the Legion of Doom, and an unsettling tone in his poetry, yet it’s a disturbing backstage moment involving Michael Cole that perhaps is the most remembered moment in Heidenreich’s legacy, something he reflects on while speaking to Chris Van Vliet.

The aforementioned return pitch never came to fruition, although it’s not impossible that it could have been a part of the Ruthless Aggression Era of WWE. After all, this is the company where, in 2001, towards the end of the Attitude Era, Diamond Dallas Page debuted and would go on to stalk The Undertaker’s then-wife Sara, an individual who was far from an established WWE star.

With a career seemingly defined by the assault of Michael Cole, going on to kidnap Vince McMahon would have likely had that story vie for top spot when it comes to disturbing Heidenreich moments, and place it highly when it comes to disturbing moments in WWE history in general.
