Hornswoggle was interviewed by Brian Soscia and his radio
show. Here are some highlights from the interview.
What drew him into wrestling: “Ultimate Warrior. Everything about
him. The entrance, the face paint, just his look, everything. I was the biggest
Ultimate Warrior fan. [when Warrior beat Hogan] He won, that was the biggest
night of my life. [when Warrior came back and saved Hogan] Saved Hogan,
Wrestlemania 8. And then he had that match with Triple H at Wrestlemania 12.
That didn’t turn out so well [for Triple H]. That’s like the last guy on my
list that I need to meet. I heard he’s around. They always say don’t meet your
heroes because you’ll be let down. I don’t want to be let down.”
If he is offended by the term midget
wrestler: “That’s
fully what I am. If you put little person wrestler on a poster, people are
going to say oh is that kids? Is that weird, odd people? You put midget
wrestling they know what it is. I am technically not a midget. I’m a dwarf, or
a little person, but I consider myself a midget. I just don’t care enough to,
I’m not going to waste anger on the word midget.”
If he still collects wrestling
merchandise: “I
still 100 percent [collect]. Me and Hawkins and Ryder have the collection wars
and figure wars about who got what. I still have never owned the Legion of Doom
Hasbro’s.”
Who would be on Hornswoggle’s
wrestling Mt. Rushmore: “Cena, HBK, Taker and yeah, I want to say Bret Hart or Hogan but I
can’t [decide]. It’s a legacy here, but I think Hogan because it would be the
eras.”
