From WWE.com:
Heidenreich released
Jan. 17, 2006
World Wrestling Entertainment has come to terms with Heidenreich on his release from the company. WWE wishes Heidenreich the best in all his future endeavors.
PWInsider.com is reporting that the former WWE Tag Team Champion had checked himself into a hospital with an ear infection a few weeks ago, and that the Web site’s sources say that he told agents he couldn’t handle being on the road anymore, went home, and hasn’t been on WWE TV since. Matt Hardy is teaming with Animal on upcoming tours.
Some wrestlers reportedly feel that Heidenreich was having some family problems, and he hadn’t gotten back to those who have reached out to him recently. Back during Hurricane Katrina, he went through a tough time after he hadn’t heard from some family for days after the storm that ravaged parts of his home state of Louisiana.
