10 WWE Gimmicks Nobody Was Supposed To Take Seriously
3. Hornswoggle
Hornswoggle is one of those guys that draws mixed reactions among fans. Some people truly hate him because whenever he's on TV it makes them want to change the channel. Others get what the gimmick is and they laugh at his antics. It's pretty amazing that Hornswoggle is one of the longest tenured WWE employees since he was hired in 2006 when he was only 20 years old. He's lasted longer than some huge names, yet he's also somebody that should never be taken seriously. When WWE decided to end the Cruiserweight division they put the title on Hornswoggle to kill it. When they needed to reveal the bastard son of Vince McMahon, they didn't want to pick a major wrestler (Ken Kennedy was the original pick), so they went with Hornswoggle as a joke and then completely changed the story after. When they couldn't decide on who to announce as the Anonymous Raw GM they went with Hornswoggle. This is a man that has had some of the most ridiculous matches and segments in wrestling history. It's okay to think he's terrible.However, if you ever take his work too seriously you're always going to be disgruntled. Try to have fun with it.
