Heidenreich on mission to find family
By David Agostino
September 2, 2005

John Heidenreich still hasn’t talked to his father since his hometown in Louisiana was devastated by Hurricane Katrina Monday. Heidenreich is also furiously trying to re-connect with his wife and kids, who he last talked to on Saturday before the devastating storm hit.

Heidenreich, who is currently staying in a hotel in Louisville, Kentucky, has managed to receive some second-hand reports that are encouraging. However, he plans to get some answers for himself very soon, regardless of how dangerous conditions have become in New Orleans.

“I’m going down there Wednesday come hell or high water,” Heidenreich said. “I believe the Baton Rouge airport is open. I’m flying to whatever airport will land me, taking whatever rental car will drive me and I’m going to buy a gun for protection. If there’s no law down there, I’m not going to have some moron running around shoot me. I have a father, wife and kids to track down.”

Heidenreich was able to track down his father’s wife, who was staying with family friends well outside of New Orleans while her husband decided to stay behind and brave one of the worst natural disasters in United States history.

“Apparently, it wasn’t too bad in terms of initial damage there,” Heidenreich told WWE.com Friday afternoon. “I also talked to an ex-girlfriend who told me my area in Meterie (Louisiana) wasn’t hit too bad. Still, now that the flooding has started, there’s no telling.”
Heidenreich last talked to his wife and two kids Saturday before Katrina hit. They safely left New Orleans for Hammond, Louisiana, to stay with friends. While he knows they got out of the city, he’s still not sure how extensive the damage was in Hammond.

Secondly, Heidenreich is very concerned with the outbreak of looting and violence in New Orleans and the surrounding areas.

There have been many news reports of violence, fires and shootings, leaving Heidenreich worried about the safety of his family and even any valuables at his home that survived the storm, like his large-screen television. In fact, his ex-girlfriend told him that every Cadillac at a downtown dealership was stolen after the storm.

“It’s real depressing the last few days,” Heidenreich said. “There’s a lot of people down there I love and care about and I can’t get through to them.”

Once Heidenreich is hopefully reunited with his loved ones, he expects to leave the town where he was born and raised well behind.

“I’m probably going to move,” Heidenreich said. “The city will never be the same. There’s no telling how many lives were destroyed or ruined by this. The city was so unprepared for this. It isn’t even funny.”

Check back with WWE.com as we expect to post first-hand reports when Heidenreich arrives in Louisiana to track down his family.

Now that would be kinda weird, seeing Heidenreich walking down your street with a gun in his hand.

[Jaton]

That's sad. Perhaps management should give him time off. I know they think his MNM feud is hot, but jesus, it's the man's family.

[Chavo Classic]

All the best to him. Makes my problems seem trivial

[Disturbed316]

Guy 1: Hey Heidenreich, I will be your friend! Now give me your car!

Heidenreich: Fuck off *bang*

[Chavo Classic]

Spread rep around blah blah Disturbed316 again blah blah

[Disturbed316]

“I’m going down there Wednesday come hell or high water,”

lol, nice choice of language BTW :roll:

Seriously though, I hope his family is ok and everything.

[Kane Knight]

That read like a promo to me, and that saddens me.

If this is just some sort of elaborate hoax, I'ma be pissed. I feel bad for Johnny, but this shit is looking less and less serious.

And for GOD's sake give him some fucking time off. Fucking right. I may think this "I'm too stupid to leave in imminent danger" shit is retarded, but you don't choose your family.

[KayfabeMan]

Well, this really isn't a case of management giving time off.

In a situation like this, you take the time off. If they fire you, then you find work elsewhere. I wouldn't want to work for a company that puts their pathetic "needs" over the seriousness of finding one's family in a situation like this. Hopefully he can find everyone he's looking for, and they'll all be safe :y:

[Xero]

Since he's going Wednesday, I would imagine that he and Animal will be dropping the belt to MNM on SmackDown! next week...

I hope he finds everyone.

[KingofOldSchool]

I can imagine him walking around doing the Heidenreich walk with a shotgun in his hand.

Heindenreich: HEI-DEN*bang*REICH! HEI-DEN*bang*REICH!

[Jaton]

I'd say my family is more important.

[Kane Knight]

Well, if he's actually doing what he's claiming, isn't he leaving already?

Hence the notion they'd better give him that time off.

[Kane Knight]

I'm curious why he's waiting that long. Come Hell or high water...As long as it fits in my schedule?

[Mr. JL]

I hope everything works out well and that his family is alright.

[Chavo Classic]

I can imagine him walking around doing the Heidenreich walk with a shotgun in his hand.

Heindenreich: HEI-DEN*bang*REICH! HEI-DEN*bang*REICH!

The poor people of New Orleans are starting to believe with all the death, destruction, looting and violence that the apocalypse is here. All they need now is a Nazi goose-stepping down the road. That'll fuck reality up for them

[KingofOldSchool]

I hope he finds his family and all, but come on...it's HEINDENREICH carrying a freaking SHOTGUN in a city that is in total anarchy.

However, the WWE could make it into a good film.

Announcer: What does a man do when a terrible flood causes him to lose contact with his whole family? And the city that he lives is in total chaos?

*pans to a shot of Heidenreich holding a shotgun*

Heidenreich: HEI-DEN-REICH!

Announcer: Find them the Heidenreich way.

*Heindenreich marches around Louisana shouting his name while killing people with a shotgun*

Heidenreich: HEI-DEN*bang*REICH!

Announcer: He's Heidenreich: Flood Viglante. Coming soon to a theater near you.

Heidenreich: FLOOD...FAMILY...BRAAAAIINSSS...HEI-DEN-REICH! ARRRGGHHH!

[Chavo Classic]

Jesus, dont give them ideas!

[KingofOldSchool]

If they wanted to disgrace the legacy of the Road Warriors, they could turn it into a buddy film with Road Warrior Animal and call the movie "The Flood Warriors: OHHH WHAT A FLOOD!"

The comments made by KoOS is no way making fun of the terrible disaster in Louisana, more so KoOS commenting about how the WWE would try to market it this to their gain.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I hope Heidenreich finds his family. Poor guy.

[LK]

Good luck to the guy. Hope everything turns out alright.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>I hope his family is fine.....best of luck to him, hope he finds them</font>

[Cool King]

[gyps213]

In all seriousness, I live outside Dallas and do volunteer work for the Salvation Army. We've been helping out with the hurricane victims all week, putting them up in a shelter in Reunion Arena. The scary thing is, at least 70% don't know where the rest of their families are, and the whole Heidenreich statement is one I've heard numerous times this week. I really hope he finds his family, as well as all the other people I've met.

[Londoner]

I find this thread quite sad and it shows the maturity of people on this forum. You're making jokes and laughing your asses off at times like this, that's sick if you ask me.Go to where the hurricane has hit and you wont feel like making jokes about his situation.

Considering the volunteer work I've done in disaster/crisis situations, I've gotta say this, with all the maturity I can muster:

Shut the fuck up.

Seriously. The WWE presented this like any other news story, even made it sound like a promo. You wanna talk maturity? Go to Discussion and talk there. Considering the nature of the WWE.com "promo," there are humourous aspeccts of the handling. Nobody's wishing harm to his family or him, but don't let that stop you from your holier than thou talk of maturity.

I can understand that the handling of this by the WWE can be laughed at, maybe I took the jokes the wrong way.Either way though I don't exactly feel like 'falling out of my chair laughing' at anything while watching this.If I could get over there and help somehow I would.

Just out of curiosity though, what volunteer work have you done KK?

Hop a plane, I'm sure they could use every hand they can get.

As the WWE talks about updates on the situation as he touches down, I can't help but think they're exploiting the situation, and that is both sad AND funny.

[Londoner]

I don't have the money to fly to the US.

[Destor]

I sent money, does that count?

[Londoner]

How do you know where that money is going to and how it will be used?That's what I don't get about sending money.I'll only send some if I know what its being used for.

[Kane Knight]

The Red Cross distributed only a fifth of the money received after 9-11. I have trouble trusting donation sites, though I've given clothing and foodstuffs this time around anyway,

[Destor]

Wel with a broken arm I dont see me being a big help and if it 1 dollar goes to were it should then it was worth it.

We are here to no sell the effects and squash Hurricane Katrina

In all seriousness I hope that he does find his family because were I grew up there were many hurricanes, but not on the level that hit on Monday. Even during our much smaller hurricanes things were messed up from days to weeks.
*sorry best I could get the pic*

[Corkscrewed]

Wish all the best to Heidenreich, and I hope his family's safe.

[Disturbed316]

OHHHHH WHAT A RUSH OF WATER!

[Disturbed316]

Seriously though, I hope everything is ok for him and everyone else in NO.

[Kane Knight]

OHHHHH WHAT A GUSH/FLOOD!
