Back to the Future: Brian Day : Dr. Brian Day brianday.ca |
Brian Heffron (born May 18, 1973) is a professional wrestler and actor better known as The Blue Meanie or Da Blue Guy.
[edit] Career[edit] Early careerHeffron started wrestling in the Midwest out of Al Snow's "Bodyslammers Pro Wrestling Gym" in Lima, Ohio in March 1994. He continued to wrestle in various independent wrestling promotions throughout the Mid-Atlantic and Midwest regions, until 1996. [edit] Extreme Championship Wrestling (1995-1998)He was noticed by Raven and Stevie Richards at a Steel City Wrestling show in Pittsburgh and asked to become Stevie Richards' sidekick in Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW). He went onto become The Blue Meanie (taking his name and persona from the villain of the 1968 animated Beatles film, Yellow Submarine.) in 1995 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 the bWo, a parody of World Championship Wrestling's top heel group of the time, the nWo. Meanie played the role of "Da Blue Guy" in the bWo, lampooning Scott Hall, who often used the nickname "The Bad Guy." [edit] World Wrestling Federation (1998-2000)Heffron made his World Wrestling Federation 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 rose to short prominence as "Bluedust", a revival of a 1996 mockery of the Goldust gimmick he used in ECW, this time paired with Goldust himself. In a memorable moment, Bluedust caused Goldust to lose to Gillberg, a parody character of WCW's top star Goldberg in February 1999, giving Gillberg his first victory. Bluedust and Goldust were pitted against one another at WWF's St. Valentine's Day Massacre: In Your House 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 WWF and left shortly thereafter. [edit] Return to Extreme Championship Wrestling (2000)Under the name "Blue Boy", Heffron had another short stint with ECW in 2000, appearing with Jasmin St. Claire frequently. Some of their promos were filmed where Jasmin was showering or in a bikini. During this period, it appeared that Heffron had lost a considerable amount of weight. [edit] Extreme Championship Wrestling reunions[edit] Hardcore HomecomingHeffron wrestled at Hardcore Homecoming against Tracy Smothers in what commentator Joey Styles called a "Comedy Match", and also appeared with Raven during the Raven vs. Sandman Match. [edit] One Night StandHe would also be used at WWE's ECW One Night Stand pay-per-view on June 12, 2005. He would make the headlines at the event for being bloodied and deliberately (and legitimately) injured by WWE Superstar John Bradshaw Layfield. 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). [edit] World Wrestling Entertainment (2005)On the July 7 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 Stevie Richards (his Steel Chair Shot to the head gave JBL a bleeding wound), a Spinebuster from World Heavyweight Champion Batista, and Heffron's Moonsault finishing move. The Mexicools then defeated the trio in a six-man tag match at The Great American Bash on July 24 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. [edit] Independent circuitIn 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. Heffron has a small cameo in the film "The Wrestler". Mr. Heffron has starred in four films for independent horror/action/martial arts film company KillerWolf Films. In 2004, then girlfriend Jasmin St. Claire recommended Heffron to director Len Kabasinski who in turn cast him in his first film, SWAMP ZOMBIES (2005), where Heffron worked alongside stars St. Claire, Pamela Sutch, and UFC hall of famer Dan "the beast" Severn. From this film forth, Heffron and Kabasinski have remained good friends to this day and Heffron has gone on to star in 3 more KillerWolf Films productions: CURSE OF THE WOLF (2006, starring Lanny Poffo, Darian Caine), FIST OF THE VAMPIRE (2007 starring Darian Caine), and a cameo in WARRIORS OF THE APOCALYPSE (2009 starring Darian Caine due for release in fall 2009). On May 21, 2007, it was jokingly announced that Heffron would face Vince McMahon for the ECW World Championship at One Night Stand. Yet after Bobby Lashley won a Gauntlet match, it was never brought up again. On June 3, 2007, he defeated Tracy Smothers to become the Cleveland All-Pro Wrestling Heavyweight Champion, but lost it at the next event on August 5, to Jason Bane in a Street Fight. On September 8, 2007, he defeated Troy Justice to become APWF Heavyweight Champion. On December 28, 2007, he was managed by Tammy Lynn Sytch (Sunny) and teamed with The Patriot to defeat The Sychadellic Sissies (Ace Darling and Nicky Oceans) at National Wrestling Superstars Holiday Tour in Long Branch, NJ. On January 18, 2008, he defeated Danny Demanto at a National Wrestling Superstars event in Manville, New Jersey. On April 12, 2008, he and JD Love defeated Zaquary Springate III and Isys Ephex in a surprise appearance at 2cw's Living on the Edge. [edit] In wrestling
