5. Hornswoggle
Another "talent" who will be marking his 10th anniversary with WWE in 2016 is Hornswoggle. Vince McMahon's fascination with exploiting little people has ensured that the former Little Bastard has been featured prominently on television for the majority of his career. Originally debuting as a sidekick for Finlay, Hornswoggle has been outed as Vince McMahon's illegitimate son, inducted as a member of D-Generation X, put over repeatedly in a feud with Chavo Guerrero, and revealed to be Raw's Anonymous General Manager - all in all, not a bad career for someone introduced as a one-note joke. In September, though, Hornswoggle was suspended for 30 days for failing a wellness policy test. The suspension has ended, but he has yet to return to the roster. The writing may be on the wall for the former Cruiserweight Champion, but even if WWE gives him another chance, we've all seen enough of Hornswoggle. In 2016, he'd do well to pack it in.
