![]() ![]() It’s probably why I need my hearing aid all the time nowadays.Anytime the WWE has a "man behind the curtain" storyline in which an unknown figure is pulling the strings, it usually doesn't pay off well. ![]() Like I just the ring wasn’t loud to me after a while. And he was just like he goes, I can’t believe that you fell asleep with that much weight going on above you. And we sat on the bus that night and indulged in that and played cards. “And so I graced him with a bottle of brown liquid as an apology gift. It’s been a good two years at that point. He goes, holy sh*t, and he just walks off. He goes, where were you? I said I was sleeping. “We get to the back and Undertaker asks where were you? I said I was sleeping. But now he throws me in and I go, the whole time walking up to Undertaker I go. And like, either just goozle me or chokeslam me off his knee or something. I’d walk up to him, and he’d sit up, scare the sh*t out of me. He rolls me in and Taker’s laying down, and we’d always did this thing where Taker would be laying down. Oh sh*t, because I knew I had a spot with Undertaker who was waiting above me. I go ‘Hey man.’ He goes ‘You’re on!’ And I go Oh sh*t. He thought one of the ring things knocked me out. Hey, hey, and then he finally goes like, I’m not waking up, and he sees me face down. And I just fell asleep, and I woke up to Finlay opening the curtain and yelling at me. “I was not overserved, and like they put me under the ring at intermission. Just tired from the night before, didn’t get a lot of sleep the night before, went to bed late, that’s what I’m going with. “It was an overseas tour, international tour. It was Finlay, Big Daddy V, and Khali against Undertaker, Kane, and Batista, so a very heavy match going on above me,” Hornswoggle recalled. I talked about it in my book, Life Is Short and So Am I. Hornswoggle had to spend a lot of time under the ring during his WWE career, but one night he fell asleep when he needed to do a spot with The Undertaker and almost ended up missing it, which caused him to have an encounter with The Deadman backstage following the match. I don’t, I don’t, I don’t care enough about how I’m viewed. Like, again, I don’t take myself seriously. “Like, the sh*t I didn’t want to necessarily do, but then I sit back and go, I’m on worldwide television, getting paid to do my dream job from when I was four years old. Mae Young gave birth to me as the New Year’s Baby. How dumb would I have been to be like, not gonna work for me, boss? Nope. You’re putting me on television, on worldwide television. “But it always was like, What are we gonna go back on? Oh, Hornswoggle is here, let’s have him be the answer. I got a vinyl for my dad too which is like, mind-blowing to my dad. Floyd Mayweather gloves, and Mike Tyson gloves down there. Betty White signed a Golden Girls DVD set, so good. Mike Tyson is gonna sign The Hangover, but just like fun stuff. “Like every week, I was like, hey, what can I get Bob Barker to sign? Oh, Happy Gilmore, there’s a random thing. I built a bar, and it’s just signed stuff from the guest host era. It’s like every, the guest host stuff was so much fun. “It was like, we need someone to work with a guest host, here’s Hornswoggle. Like, I always laughed during WWE stuff at times because it was like, how are we gonna get out of this one? Here comes Hornswoggle,” he said. When asked how it felt being involved in the conclusion of so many RAW storylines, Hornswoggle said. And I’m like, freaking out.”īeyond being revealed as Vince McMahon’s son, he was also eventually revealed as the Anonymous RAW General Manager. And I had my Cruiserweight title in my bag, and I go, do I come up with it? Oh, no. I was like, so I’m changing underneath the ring. And no one or no one to hear me over the headset talking. ![]() Because they didn’t want any producers, nothing to know. And he goes, ‘Hey, Vince will talk to you about what you’re going to do.’ Vince went over it on headset, the whole segment of Vince said, please stay off headset until we ask for you again. And Bruce goes, ‘Okay, I need to know where your bag is in the locker room.’ I go, why? He goes, ‘because you’re going under the ring right now.’ Until then, I was like, it’s 3:30. “But then, as everyone was leaving, rehearsal was done. “So many of those things just get swept under the rug and forgotten about obviously,” Hornswoggle said.
