Heidenreich Doesn’t Think He Has Another ‘Real’ Match Left In Him

Jon Heidenreich says his wrestling career is in the rearview, and that he doesn’t think he he could do a “real match” anymore. Heidenreich has been away from the ring since 2018, working his final match by doing a battle royal for Battle On The Border. He has left the wrestling business and now works a freight job at Walmart.

Heidenreich was asked about the possibility of another match on Insight With Chris Van Vliet. He said that he doesn’t think he could do it and had some health issues for a while, though he’s feeling better these days. You can see highlights below

On If He Was Okay Letting Wrestling Go:

“Yes and no. Maybe I wanted to still do it, but it’s like, do it the right way. I think this happened organically with that picture.”

On If He Could Wrestle Again:

“No, I don’t think I could do a real match. I could maybe do run-in stuff or something, or manage somebody, that’d be crazy. Heidenreich managing somebody? He’d be mismanaged!”

On His Health Status:

“I mean, I had some heart issues. But my blood pressure’s down and my weight’s down. I’m not doing anything crazy like I used to do a long time ago. So, considering all the sports I did my whole life, I’m in good shape. I mean, they say I need to replace my left knee, because I had to reconstruct it, and I have degenerative arthritis everywhere. Like I told you, the bone spurs in my spine. I don’t think they removed any, they said don’t wrestle anymore. That was from car wrecks, football, wrestling, because I was in sports when I was six years old. Then football is pretty violent, and wrestling is too, so I mean, my health, I’m beat up, but I’m not overweight. I would like to start getting in a regular training deal again. I was riding my bike around for transportation and travel, but it’s too dangerous if you, I crashed twice and broke a bunch of stuff, and that’s not cool. I gave up to two wheel anythings.”
