Hornswoggle Recalls The Rock Believing He Was A Make A Wish Kid

Hornswoggle recalls a case of mistaken identity during an interaction with The Rock.

Since leaving for Hollywood, The Rock has come and gone in WWE, and one could forgive him for not knowing every WWE wrestler on the rosters when he does make his appearances with the company

While speaking on Insight With Chris Van Vliet, Swoggle looked back on an interaction with The Rock where 'The Final Boss' believed he was a Make A Wish kid.

"So I am in a suit, a legit suit, not my leprechaun outfit, with my gear bag, and I'm gonna meet him behind the curtain as he comes through. In my mind, best friends, I see my buddy Dwayne come back through, oh boy here we go! I say, 'Hey man, thank you so much for coming back. Thanks for what you're gonna do for WrestleMania and what you're gonna do for the company, and just glad to have you back. Good to meet you. My name is Dylan.' He extends his arm out, goes, 'Did you have a good time tonight buddy?' Taps me on the shoulder, leaves, and I go, Oh no. He doesn't realize I work here. I was on the show before that. I told Kofi, thinking he would have my back and support me. He supported me by texting 97 people immediately while driving because he couldn't wait on it. Within 30 seconds, I had so many people message me. 'Rock thought you were a Make-A-Wish kid, huh?' Big Show called him out the next week about this, because it got to Big Show. Rock goes, 'No, yeah, I did, yeah, I did. I don't watch the show.' I approached him about it too. And he said yeah, Big Show already got on me about this."

Elsewhere in the same interview, Swoggle commented on competing in WeeLC. You can read more about that here.
