10 Things WWE Wants You To Forget About Hornswoggle

9. He Was The Last Cruiserweight Champion Ever

The Cruiserweight Championship isn't mentioned on air these days, and seems to have been firmly made a footnote of WWE's history. Its lineage is a proud one, and includes such well-respected names as Jushin 'Thunder' Liger, Lance Storm, and Chris Jericho. Let's not beat about the bush: Hornswoggle was the last ever Cruiserweight Champion. Yes, the WWE could have bestowed such an honour on a rising star such as Paul London, a well-respected servant like Chavo Guerrero, or a popular mainstream figure in the form of Rey Mysterio - but instead gave it to a man working a leprechaun gimmick. The title wasn't even given a dignified send-off, instead quietly shuffled off the card and listed as 'vacant' for a while on WWE.com. Eventually it was removed altogether.
