Hornswoggle, who is now known as Swoggle post-WWE, spoke with Inside The Ropes, where he talked about who for him is the most entertaining AEW Star today.
Hornswoggle said:
“So I’m not going to jump on the bandwagon, but it’s Orange Cassidy.” “I had the match with him it’s on YouTube for Beyond Wrestling. I didn’t get the shtick when he was explaining it to me and then he was telling me more about it. I was like, ‘oh, OK.’ And then we had the match, and like the first thing out of the gate I was like ‘holy s--t, this is the greatest thing ever.’"
I love him, and I feel like with him it’s so black and white with him. Like if you’re a fan or not no middle ground, and that’s unfortunate. But I love him so much. I get such a kick out of him. Everything he does, literally everything he does is just entertaining to me. It’s funny to me and people want to tear it apart. ‘It gives away the business or whatever.’ I don’t care. Giving away the business is when Beyond the Mat came out. The business has been given away for years. I don’t care.”
Hornswoggle then talked about his highest and lowest moments while he was still working in the WWE.
Hornswoggle said:
“The worst thing, I guess, is when they had me dressed as a cow.” “That was really like the down point, a real negative moment for me, and I was really pissed off at it and I knew why. And I got it. It was what it was, I got paid to be on television, but that part was the one moment where I was like ‘someone’s screwing with me here.’ But whatever. Two months before that, I put on the best pay per view of that whole year in the WeeLC Match. So I can’t be too pissed off about it. Nothing I do in life will ever top WeeLC. It was the greatest match of my life, easily."
“But of all those moments, like I think it was the 15th anniversary of RAW. I opened the show, I had three segments during the show. And the closing shot was me with Steve Austin pouring beer on Vince McMahon. That same show I posed with Hulk Hogan. It doesn’t get better than that. And so I look at that like, again, I’m supposed to be here for only six months. They told me this could be a six-month schtick and I got two weeks under 10 years and so many memorable things. I’ve never been, I never watch my stuff back. Still to this day, I just don’t. If it comes up on a PPV, I skip it. But I think back and lately it’s finally hit me like, man, that was really fun. Like ‘that was really, really cool what you did.’ I did a lot of fun things and I was always like, ‘hey, what do we have? Oh, why don’t we have Hornswoggle do it?’ One hundred percent. ‘We need a GM? Here’s Hornswoggle. We need a DX Mascot, we need a son?’ But I was way OK stepping up to the plate. Every guest host I worked with, every guest host every week. It was awesome.”
