- Hornswoggle was interviewed by Brian Soscia. 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 his 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."
