In 2006, Hornswoggle made his WWE debut, marking the beginning of a memorable journey in the WWE Universe. He went on to capture the Cruiserweight Championship, solidifying his place as a talented performer. Over the course of more than a decade, Hornswoggle continued to entertain fans and make a lasting impact within the company.
While speaking to Chris Van Vliet, Hornswoggle revealed how he once slept under the ring and almost missed a spot with The Undertaker, leading to him almost getting fired.
“We get to the back and Undertaker asks, ‘where were you?; I said, ‘I was sleeping.’ He goes, ‘where were you?’ I said, ‘I was sleeping.’ He goes, ‘holysh*t’, and he just walks off. I go, ‘oh I’m dead. I’m done, I’m done. This is it, it’s been a good run.’ It’s been a good two years at that point. Did a lot of fun things. But I’m done. And he just couldn’t believe it. And so I graced him with a bottle of brown liquid as an apology gift.”

The Deadman accepted Swoggle’s apology and the former Cruiserweight Champion was not fired for almost missing his spot. Regardless, Hornswoggle will always be grateful for his time in WWE and that’s all that matters.
