In 2008 , Madigan revealed that in 2004 he had pitched directly to Vince McMahon an idea to have Jon Heidenreich return as a Nazi stormtrooper named Baron Von Bava , who had been cryogenically frozen before being revived by Paul Heyman ( a real-life Jew whose own mother survived The Holocaust ) , complete with Heidenreich wearing the red armband with the swastika and even goose-stepping to the ring . While WWE would eventually have Heyman manage Heidenreich , the pitch was considered so shocking that McMahon left the board room speechless and did n't return for the rest of the day . The pitch led to Madigan leaving WWE later that year
