why is there hornswoggle?

[Shisen Kopf]

I dont get it, this new rasslin rated pg is garbage. I hate kids. bring back poop mouth and Val Venis getting his pee pee choppy choppy.

[Mooияakeя™]

Mayeb they have him cos the kids can relate to him, being his height and shit.

Also, I dunno, I always expect your sig to have http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v167/handsomepete2/longschlong.jpg in

[Afterlife]

Personally, I don't understand why everyone hates on Horny so much.

[bigslimjj]

people dig midgets.

Why is there a Hornswoggle?

But enough about Mysterio.

[Vastardikai]

Well, the initial reason Horny was brought in was an attempt to bury Finlay, who was catching fire despite Laurinitis not wanting him back in the ring. Problem was, it backfired.

[Schlomey]

I hate Hornswoggle as much as the next Internet Smark but the remainder of your rant is bollocks. The WWE went TV-PG because a ratings decline shifted the product in a new direction geared towards not only children but new and rich advertisers.

You may "hate" children but as a parent, if my son loves something (in this case wrestling) I would buy him the Mysterio mask or a Cena shirt if need be.


Yeah buddy I am also not very happy about the Hornswoggle's of the WWE currently but buck up...we have seen some AMAZING wrestling matches in the last few years that even a PG rating could not stop.


The Attitude Era was violent and chaotic but also was very corny at times.
The PG Era is blood free and equally corny BUT there is VERY high quality of matches coming at a time where blood and uber-violence isn't accepted.

The fact that they can't blade means that the wrestlers associated in these big high profile matches have to work even harder to get the match over as an epic or a classic. This era has seen the rise of some of the greatest talents the WWE has EVER had. CM Punk doesn't need to blade.


So yeah, Horny should go as well as some of the really corny bits - But that is not TV-PG's fault...It is Vince McMahon & the writers fault for diluting the product with what they think the fans want to see.

While I commend you for a more intellectual argument than most on the board would put up, you do realise you're putting forth said argument to a gimmick poster who's probably a sock, and a one trick pony at that, right?

Probably better to save any real effort for someone who's going to do more than troll the wrestling forum for kicks.

Who knew midget abuse was so damn popular?

[Schlomey]

i didn't know that kane knight. Sorry I wasted my time.

[Vastardikai]

Who knew midget abuse was so damn popular?

It'd explain Half-Pint Brawlers...

[Afterlife]

I still don't mind Hornswoggle.

[Kane Knight]

I still don't mind Hornswoggle.
You have the strangest fetishes.

[Afterlife]

Eh. I wish they'd gone with a heel turn when he was dubbed a McMahon, put him in a normal suit and let him talk. But even as is, he's a fairly functional plot device for any number of scenarios.

[Kane Knight]

It would have been even funnier if he put on a normal suit and continued to talk like he does now.

Well, funnier's not the word. "Stranger?"

[Razzamajazz]

why the hell does he still wear DX gear? i don't think kids memories go back that far

This is true. But my hope was for him to play the angle of "Since I'm a McMahon, I'm going to act like it". I could see Vince trying to dress him up to appear dapper like the rest of the clan, and still have goofy, noisemaker Hornswoggle as a foil. But that'd still be very face. As a heel, he'd have to drop his cutesy, childish act.

Because he hasn't been paired up with anyone else yet on a consistent basis, and they want to get away from his Finlay/Leprechaun appearance?

[MoFo]

I dont mind him, but he should of been taken off tv after JBL beat the shit out of him

[Kane Knight]

why the hell does he still wear DX gear? i don't think kids memories go back that far

DX=Money.

Do they still refer to him lke he is a child?

[Schlomey]

another week. no horny. :)



Still Smackdown was pretty lame this week :/

[Mjdiesel]

I think the reason Hornswoggle is so utilized by WWE is because kids do love him. The reason why people don't like him is because he's annoying, just in the way of everything and hasn't done anything significant. Basically, he's the one real tangible base that WWE truly panders to kids these days. Hardly anyone, including myself, buys Vince's sudden PG 1980s tone of sports entertainment when you're coming off a decade of fist fights at funerals, giving birth to a hand, challenging God, and someone simulating intercourse with a corpse in a casket. Hornswoggle represents the antithesis, polar opposite of that string of lurid garbage....and his being in DX shows that--besides Vince being a fucking moron, that DX has truly jumped the shark. DX of course being an "attitude era" stable.

Im curious as to why Chavo Guerrero jobbed to Hornswoggle like 6 times....was that punishment?

[BizarroKing]

Hornswoggle is there for teh lulz. And to make Chavo a embarrassment to the company.

[Gertner]

Lol I doubt Chavo is losing sleep over this. I'm sure 90 percent of the roster would love to wrestle without having to take any bumps whatsoever, get featured weekly and be able to still walk upright when their 60. Chavo is laughing all the way to the bank.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Just like Cena, I liked Hornswoggle as a heel.
