Hornswoggle discusses being back under a WWE legends deal.
In October of last year, Hornswoggle would announce that he had signed a WWE legends deal with the promotion. Since then, Swoggle has featured as part of WWE World during WrestleMania month.
While speaking to Insight with Chris Van Vliet, Swoggle spoke about finding out about the deal on the way to a concert with his son.
"Legitimately, Landon and I were on our way to see Blink-182. I get the call, I literally had to pull over, and I just froze. You know me, you know how I view me through these interviews, a lot of people know how I view me. I don't view myself as very great in wrestling. So to have that recognition is the ultimate. This is pretty f*cking awesome. It just makes me feel like I mattered in WWE with this now, that it wasn't a got rid of me, released me, which is okay. No one deserves a job. That's my thing. Whenever people get released, internet goes crazy about 'How could they do this?' No one in any workforce deserves a job. You're lucky to have that, especially that kind of job. And so now to be back under a legends deal, it's incredible. It's just like the coolest thing ever."
Swoggle continued, discussing doing WWE World in his full leprachaun gear.
"All these promoters wanted me to wear it. I've never worn it. I don't want to be, nothing against him, I don't want to be Doink. I don't want to be these guys at the conventions, showing up in their stuff that doesn't look right anymore. It looks disheveled. I don't want to be that. I don't want to do that. But for that, I had to. Almost cut the hair. I did the signing at the World, and I didn't think that would ever happen again, and so I needed to wear the suit. And like putting a suit on was emotional, because I felt home, literally, I felt home. For those three hours being treated incredibly by WWE, by Fanatics."
Elsewhere in the same interview, Swoggle spoke about his famous WeeLC match with El Torito. You can read more about that here.
