John Heidenreich Says Infamous Michael Cole WWE Segment Is Still Disturbing 20 Years Later

John Heidenreich recently reflected on his infamous backstage segment with Michael Cole from 20 years ago, calling it "disturbing" and acknowledging it was "really, really off-the-wall." In an interview with Chris Van Vliet, Heidenreich explained that WWE's pitch involved him abducting Cole and creating uncomfortable tension by making it seem like the segment was heading in a dark direction before revealing he was only going to read Cole a poem. Despite the bizarre nature of the segment, Heidenreich said he was willing to do whatever WWE asked of him at that stage of his career and believes the segment has helped keep his name alive with fans who still bring it up today.
