Hornswoggle Confirms In-Ring Wrestling Retirement, Talks About His Relationship With WWE


Hornswoggle's days in the ring are behind him.

The "illegitimate son of Vince McMahon" confirmed his wrestling retirement and spoke about his relationship with WWE during a recent interview with Inside The Ropes.

Featured below are some of the highlights.

On how his in-ring wrestling days are probably behind him: "Not that I know of. I mean, I would love to, but in-ring, probably is behind me, if I’m being honest with myself after my second failed back surgery. It ain’t in the cards, I don’t believe in-ring for a major company. But I truly believe the coaching stuff. And I’m finally like, grasping that whether I have more to give inside the ring compared to outside, and teaching and helping and that I’m okay with that. I can sign my fake name for the rest of my life. And I’m fully okay with that."

On his relationship with WWE: "It’s like, I have no reason to burn a bridge, I have no reason to talk poorly of a company that gave me 10 years of living my dream, providing for my son, giving me an awesome life and making me a star that now I can sign that fake name, still seven years later, like, I can’t be mad at that. I can’t. So there’s no reason to be negative towards it whatsoever."
