Hornswoggle Reflects On Career-Defining Vince McMahon Son Storyline

Former WWE star Hornswoggle (Swoggle) appeared on Rewind Recap Relive to discuss several topics, including the impact of the Vince McMahon son storyline on his career.

Hornswoggle said, “The Vince McMahon storyline was the biggest thing to ever happen in my career. Legitimately the biggest thing ever, I still hold it very, very true to my heart and very close to my heart. It was the greatest thing that ever happened to my career at that time.”

On getting a boost in WWE after that arc:

“I think [the Mini Battle Royal he wrestled in] was that moment where it finally hit me like, ‘Whoa, this is only about me. This is about no one else, this is all about me.’”

On not being the original person for the reveal:

“Hell no! It was definitely Ken [Anderson]. Ken can deny it, he’s finally come around to accepting it. The truth — and telling the truth — it was definitely going to be him.”

On the secrecy around the reveal:

“Bruce Prichard walks up to me and goes, ‘Give me your phone.’ He goes, ‘You’re the son.’ And I go, ‘Oh? Okay? Oh no. Okay.’ And, man, I say it all the time, I did not know how big it was going to be.”
