Works

Madigan wrote the script and novel tie-in for WWE Films' See No Evil (2006).

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 didn't return for the rest of the day. The pitch led to Madigan leaving WWE later that year.[3]
