Brian Heffron (born May 18, 1973) is a professional wrestler better known as The Blue Meanie.
Career
Heffron is a "lucky" wrestler because he was born with severe asthma and the doctors said he would never be an active child. [citation needed] He proved them wrong. Heffron started wrestling in the MidWest out of Al Snow's "Bodyslammers Pro Wrestling Gym" in Lima Ohio in March of 1994. He went on to do various independent wrestling shows in Michigan, Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois, and Canada. He moved back to his then home in Atlantic City, NJ where he continued to wrestling in Michigan, New Jersey, Maryland, New York, West Virginia, and Pennsylvania.
He was noticed by Raven and Stevie Richards on a Steel City Wrestling show in Pittsburgh and asked to become Stevie Richards' sidekick in ECW. He went onto become The Blue Meanie in 1996 in ECW at the November To Remember event. He was the flunky for Stevie Richards, who was the flunky for Raven. Heffron, Richards, and Nova performed several skits but their most famous was a parody of the nWo, the Blue World Order. Meanie played the role of "Da Blue Guy" in the bWo, lampooning Scott Hall, who often used the nickname "The Bad Guy."
Heffron made his WWF debut on the November 22, 1998 episode of Sunday Night HEAT. He spent some time in the WWF as part of Al Snow's J.O.B. Squad. He would rise to short prominence as "Bluedust", a spinoff of Dustin Runnels' Goldust character. In a memorable moment, Goldust lost to Gillberg in February 1999, giving Gillberg his first victory. Bluedust and Goldust would be pitted against one another at WWF's Saint Valentine's Day Massacre Pay-Per-View, a match Goldust eventually won. Heffron would later be pulled under Goldust's "spell" of sorts, calling him "mommy". He would serve as a manager for Goldust, where he bickered with Goldust's other manager, Ryan Shamrock. After Goldust dumped both Meanie and Shamrock, Heffron would make little headway in the Federation and left shortly thereafter.
Heffron would go on to date porn star Jasmin St. Claire, while wrestling on the independent circuit. Though by this time he was in tremendous shape and had lost alot of weight.
Heffron would wrestle at Hardcore Homecoming against Tracy Smothers in what Joey Styles called a "Comedy Match" and also appeared with Raven during the Raven vs. The Sandman Match. He would also be used at WWE's ECW One Night Stand PPV on June 12, 2005 where he would make the headlines for being bloodied and (legitimately) injured by WWE Superstar JBL.
The Blue Meanie would have another short stint with ECW in 2000, appearing with Jasmin St Claire frequently, during some promos they would be filmed where Jasmin was showering, or in a bikini.
A few weeks after the incident, during which time Heffron indicated on his website that he was considering pursuing legal action against JBL, it was announced that he had signed a short-term deal with WWE and reformed the bWo with Richards and Simon Dean (formerly Nova). On the July 7, 2005 episode of SmackDown!, the bWo drove to ringside in JBL's limousine then proceeded to spraypaint "bWo" on the hood. This led to a No disqualification match between JBL and Heffron later that evening, which Heffron won following interference from Richards (his Steel Chair Shot to the head gave JBL a bleeding wound) and World Heavyweight Champion Batista (Spinebuster). Heffron lost with Simon Dean and Richards in a six-man tag match at The Great American Bash against The Mexicools on 24 July 2005 in Buffalo, New York. The indication was that Heffron was only brought into the WWE and given a victory over JBL so that he would not sue the WWE. Since his loss at the Great American Bash, Meanie hasn't appeared on WWE TV, and is no longer under contract. He currently wrestles with 1 Professional Wrestling (1PW).
In April 2006, he announced on his blog that he had been diagnosed with empyema, and had undergone emergency surgery to have part of his lung removed.
In addition to his wrestling career, Heffron has a budding acting career, having appeared on the WB sitcom "Nikki"; Barry W. Blaustein's film Beyond the Mat; the Richard O'Sullivan-directed Communication Breakdown; and the cult horror film Swamp Zombies. He also recently starred in the 2006 Killer Wolf Films production Curse of the Wolf. From time to time, it can be seen that Heffron sells items on Ebay.com.
