Ex-Champion Makes Heartbreaking Confession About Relationship With WWE

This former Cruiserweight Champion had an emotional confession to make about WWE.

Fans of wrestling in the 2000s will immediately recognise Hornswoggle, a wrestler who made a name for himself by becoming a comedic leprechaun-like character with his constant mischief and in-ring shenanigans.

Hornswoggle was a popular attraction in the ring. He was portrayed as wrestler Finlay’s son and would get involved in segments with the likes of JBL and John Cena.

Hornswoggle was released by the Stamford-based promotion in 2016, but returned later, making sporadic appearances.
