Heidenreich has been gone from WWE programming for 20 years and it has been revealed he now finds himself working at one of the United States' biggest supermarkets.
A pro wrestling fan by the name of Wade Stratton living in Greenfield, Ohio revealed on Facebook that Heidenreich is now working at Walmart.

"So I'm at work last week and there is an older gentleman stocking, we would always say 'hey' in passing. The other day he was like 'Did you ever watch WWE?' I was like 'As matter of fact I used to watch it all the time.' Then dude said, 'Yeah, I used to be a wrestler, I've wrestled The Undertaker, Booker T, Steven Regal, The Rock, I met Steve Austin at his debut match, Used to hang out with Triple H and Trish Stratus.' Like...... 'Wait ...... What?!' You're kidding right....... Dude was in fact....... Not kidding One of the nicest most humble people I've met in a while (I bought his action figure and had him sign it and pose for a picture with me, you could tell it made him happy to be able to be in the spotlight again and things like that make me happy, plus now I can say I've been put in a headlock by a professional wrestler lmao). Edit: his wrestling name was Heidenreich."
After a career in American football, Heidenreich transitioned to professional wrestling in 2001 and later signed with WWE. He is most famous for his 2004 to 2005 run on SmackDown as a poetry-reciting psychopath managed by Paul Heyman. This involved a feud with The Undertaker from October 2004 until February 2005 and an infamous segment with Michael Cole in which it was implied that Heidenreich sexually assaulted the commentator.
Heidenreich later formed a new version of The Road Warriors with Road Warrior Animal in the summer of 2005 and they held the WWE Tag Team Titles for 93 days. Heidenreich would be released by WWE in January 2006.
Following the end of his WWE run, Heidenreich continued to perform on the indies, including on the 2009 Hulkamania tour of Australia. He had his last match in 2018.
