10 Most Intelligence Insulting WWE Moments Ever

2. Hornswoggle's Great Escape

WWE.comWWE.comOne of the most unfairly criticized members of the WWE roster In recent years is the performer known as Hornswoggle. The little person is railed on by smart fans for the silliness of a lot of his segments, especially because the majority of those types of fans are unwilling to accept anything other than 45-minute chain wrestling clinics by super serious athletes when it comes to their preferences. It isn€™t Dylan Postl€™s fault that WWE sees him as nothing more than comedic relief and books him as such. But the kids love him and he brings a smile to a lot of faces so people should really cut the guy some slack. That€™s not to say that a lot of his segments and angles haven€™t been embarrassingly bad. Quite the contrary, actually. One was so bad it easily landed the #2 spot on this list. WWE is a unique form of entertainment. It€™s a mixture of sports, scripted drama, performance theater, comedy and improv. But back in 2007 the company decided to integrate one more form of entertainment into their repertoire: Looney Toons skits. Hornswoggle was in the midst of a dispute with Carlito over€.well, it really doesn€™t matter. The little man was just being his usual mischievous self, when his foe cornered him in the locker room. Faced with no means of escape, Hornswoggle took out a can of black spray paint and made a small doorway on the wall. Carlito scoffed at his efforts until the leprechaun-dressed performer dashed through the hole to safety. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u0kKITr3NsI I shouldn€™t have to tell you what followed next: Carlito tried to give chase through the fake doorway, only to run headfirst into the wall and collapse on the ground. The entire thing was harmless, but when the rest of the show is filled with tough guys beating up each other up for money, fame and pride, it was a definite insult to the audience. A quick google search will tell you all you need to know about the audience€™s reaction to the segment.
