Jon Heidenreich appeared on the August 2nd Edition of The Shoot: Talk on Professional Wrestling. The interview starts off at about the 33 minute mark of the show. He spoke on a variety of topics including Road Warrior Animal, Vince McMahon, Bob Holly, and more. Here’s a recap:
Hosts Gary Cantrell and John Krauser welcome Jon Heidenreich and fellow AWF wrestler Mr. Wrestling 3 to the show. They first ask him about the origin of “Little Johnny”, Heidenreich says it was based off of his “inner-child”. He described it as the “voice” inside of his head that wanted to seek revenge on all of the people who made fun of him in his childhood. He said the WWE tried to turn it into something sexual and “f*cked it up like they do every storyline”. He said he wanted to reach people with it as he believed a lot of people could relate to being teased as a child.
