If you ask Hornswoggle, WWE felt the need to get rid of he and El Torito at the same time.
The former WWE Superstar spoke about this on the latest installment of his “Going Postl” podcast.
“This is something Iโve never gotten into, publicly,” he said. “I feel they had to fire (El) Torito and I at the same time. I truly feel this way. If they would have fired just me and not the other one, it wouldnโt look right.”
He continued, “There was a lot of firings that dayโฆ Me, Alex Riley, Santino (Marella), Torito, (Wade) Barrett, I forget who else but thereโs a lot. I feel like they had to fire Torito and I at the same time.”
