The whole gimmick was that Heidenreich would be a cyborg nazi created by Hitlers scientists during WW2 and cryogenically frozen in a lab hidden deep inside a cave in the swiss alps.
But there isnt anything off about what I said. About a month before Randazzos book came out, he wrote about this very topic in the same magazine you quoted that other story from. He had to know that when the book came out and people saw Madigan was the source he used most often, stories like this would be told to discredit Madigan as a nutcase. So telling the story himself was like a preemptive strike at getting it out there first and letting Madigan try to defend it.
All the stuff I mentioned (Nazi, Heyman managing him, goose stepping around the meeting, etc.) was all confirmed by Randazzo and Madigan. He made this big pitch of his idea, Vince just looked at him and then got up and left, so it was left to Stephanie to end this totally awkward meeting.
The part that came out after Randazzo told the story, which Randazzo probably had no idea of, was how Madigan exposed himself as some psychopathic misogynist by contacting people afterward with this hatred towards Stephanie. Which he had no reason to have, it was Vince who walked out. But the guy is nuts.
