Brian "Blue Meanie" Heffron is an American Professional Wrestler. He is best known for his time with Extreme Championship Wrestling and the World Wrestling Federation. His ring name is a reference to the Blue Meanies, the antagonists from the 1968 animated film Yellow Submarine.

Heffron grew up in the New Jersey, Philadelphia and Atlantic City area. Growing up he had a host of health issue due to asthma, which led to several hospitalizations throughout his young life. This led to his missing school and an inability to participate in several sports. These issues, accompanied by his being overweight, led to bullying throughout his school career.

Heffron grew up with a single mother, but was also raised by his grandparents. They were all incredibly supportive of all his dreams, including his desire to become a professional wrestler. After high school, Heffron saved up enough money to move to Ohio and join Al Snow's Bodyslammers Pro Wrestling Gym. Snow took him under his wing and slowly but surely, Heffron got several bookings.

One day, a wrestler named Raven noticed Heffron and asked him to become a sidekick in the infamous ECW Wrestling promotion, and the rest is history.
