Epic Reine Posted January 18, 2006 Report Posted January 18, 2006 This decision was 2 years too late. I'm sure Stevie Richards is celebrating now.
Rob Anybody Posted January 18, 2006 Report Posted January 18, 2006 Is there any reason left for Animal to still be around?
randomguy Posted January 18, 2006 Report Posted January 18, 2006 Timing is a bit odd seeing as how he was recently teaming with Animal in high-profile matches...but he wasn't very good. No big loss.
ChrisMWaters Posted January 18, 2006 Report Posted January 18, 2006 The biggest loss is his singles theme will never play again if he isn't re-hired.
Guest FromBeyondTheGrave Posted January 18, 2006 Report Posted January 18, 2006 Heidenreich as a heel was at least stupid funny, Heidenreich as a babyface was bland.
Guest Dam(o)nYankees Posted January 18, 2006 Report Posted January 18, 2006 Is there any reason left for Animal to still be around? His brother.
Hunter's Torn Quad Posted January 18, 2006 Report Posted January 18, 2006 Is there any reason left for Animal to still be around? No, but his brother is head of talent relations, so he'll likely be kept around. And I guess this makes burying MNM worth it.
Guest Jim Ross Posted January 18, 2006 Report Posted January 18, 2006 Wasnt his original gimmick supposed to be a Nazi that was frozen in time or something? or did i hear wrong This was around the same time as that general hirohito nonsense
Enigma Posted January 18, 2006 Report Posted January 18, 2006 I still wish their idea for Heidenreich to be an unfrozen Nazi would have happened.
Dewe Posted January 18, 2006 Report Posted January 18, 2006 Somewhere tonight, Gene Snitsky weeps. But we will never ever forget...
Sideburnious Posted January 18, 2006 Report Posted January 18, 2006 Damn. This is just another reason for me not to watch WWE
Guest T0rrent Posted January 18, 2006 Report Posted January 18, 2006 My guess is he asked for his release due to the damage done to his home from Katrina.
LivingLegendGaryColeman Posted January 18, 2006 Report Posted January 18, 2006 I was wondering where he was the past few weeks, especially when Animal has been showing up on TV without him, in the battle royal this week for sure, and I think there was something else. Not a huge Heidenreich fan, but at times he could be an enjoyable guilty pleasure.
Guest Dam(o)nYankees Posted January 18, 2006 Report Posted January 18, 2006 My guess is he asked for his release due to the damage done to his home from Katrina. Damage was done to his home so he asked to stop being paid?
claydude14 Posted January 18, 2006 Report Posted January 18, 2006 This is how I like to remember him http://heidenreichmarchwtfmate.ytmnd.com/
Enigma Posted January 18, 2006 Report Posted January 18, 2006 From PWInsider: World Wrestling Entertainment announced tonight that John Heidenreich, 33, had been released from the company. Several weeks back, Heidenreich checked himself into a hospital citing an ear infection. The story making the rounds is that when WWE agents came to collect Heidenreich to bring him to the next show on the loop, he turned them down saying he couldn't deal with being on the road anymore. Heidenreich flew himself home and hasn't appeared since. Among the wrestlers, the word was going around that Heidenreich was dealing with some family problems, so it may be a case of WWE releasing him to deal with what he needs to take care of and leaving the door open for a return down the line. Several workers had tried to contact Heidenreich over the last several weeks but hadn't heard back. Road Warrior Animal is slated to work singles and also team with Matt Hardy on upcoming tours. Heidenreich was signed by the WWF in 2001 and officially debuted in October 2003 on TV. He was managed for a heel run by Paul Heyman during a feud with Undertaker. He was later turned babyface and teamed with Animal as one half of the new Legion of Doom, where they won the WWE Tag Team championships.
Guest Chrisly_2005 Posted January 18, 2006 Report Posted January 18, 2006 I still wish their idea for Heidenreich to be an unfrozen Nazi would have happened. Yes it was. I wish that is what they actually did too because I am sure it couldnt be worse than what they did with him anyway.

Little Johnny must be ill.
DangerousDamon Posted January 18, 2006 Report Posted January 18, 2006 Somewhere tonight, Gene Snitsky weeps. But we will never ever forget... "come back with my jacket~!"
Vern Gagne Posted January 18, 2006 Report Posted January 18, 2006 I figured he was the first casualty of the new drug testing policy.
Spaceman Spiff Posted January 18, 2006 Report Posted January 18, 2006 Is there any reason left for Animal to still be around? No, but his brother is head of talent relations, so he'll likely be kept around. And I guess this makes burying MNM worth it. Did you see the latest internet Velocity? Animal helps the Mexicools defeat the Dicks, then destroys the Mexicools post-match.
Hunter's Torn Quad Posted January 18, 2006 Report Posted January 18, 2006 Is there any reason left for Animal to still be around? No, but his brother is head of talent relations, so he'll likely be kept around. And I guess this makes burying MNM worth it. Did you see the latest internet Velocity? Animal helps the Mexicools defeat the Dicks, then destroys the Mexicools post-match. Great. Kill both teams to get over a guy who adds less than zero to the show.
Matt Young Posted January 18, 2006 Report Posted January 18, 2006 I was wondering why the Power 25 mentioned Animal going solo. I haven't kept up with Velocity these past few weeks as I usually do, so I had no idea what Animal was doing.
Corey_Lazarus Posted January 18, 2006 Report Posted January 18, 2006 The biggest loss is his singles theme will never play again if he isn't re-hired. Fuckin-A. Sounded like a mix of Rammstein and fighting game music. I dug it.
Guest hasbeen Posted January 18, 2006 Report Posted January 18, 2006 Whether you like his ability or not, there's no reason to celebrate a person losing his job.
Hunter's Torn Quad Posted January 18, 2006 Report Posted January 18, 2006 Unless his name is Johnny Ace.
Quit Calling My Mama Posted January 18, 2006 Report Posted January 18, 2006 Road Warrior Animal is slated to work singles and also team with Matt Hardy on upcoming tours. I thought Animal couldn't work singles matches due to his payout from Lloyds?
