Hornswoggle Opens Up On INSANE WWE Bullying Story (WWE News)
Did you know? Hornswoggle bullied a former WWE Champion relentlessly.
Former WWE star Hornswoggle has revealed that he "bullied Big E a lot" during their time together in the company. By his own admission, Swoggle was "a closet bully" throughout his career, which might surprise many fans. The 'Little Bastard' (his original name when tied to Finlay on TV) told Stephanie McMahon on her 'What's The Story?' podcast that he pushed E to "breaking point".
Things came to a head one day, and Kofi Kingston was there to witness it unfold.
Big E had reportedly texted his New Day partners Kofi and Xavier Woods warning that he couldn't put up with Hornswoggle's nonsense for much longer. The pint-sized bully kept at it - he "poked and prodded" until E decided he'd had enough. Both Kingston and Woods had encouraged their pal to put Swoggle "in his place".
After another bout of needling, E "booted" Swoggle in his backpack and sent him flying. Telling Steph about the incident, Hornswoggle said he "landed right on [his] face". When he got up, he looked over at Kingston and asked if he'd pushed his partner too far. Kofi said that he had, and that was that.
Later, Swoggle admitted to E that he deserved what was coming to him. The future WWE Champ's reply? "Oh yeah you did!".
Hornswoggle also told McMahon that he wasn't bullied at all through his formative years or even when he reached the promised land of WWE. Most wrestlers who thought about it were too scared of Finlay, so they left Swoggle alone throughout most of his run with the company.
That didn't stop him from doing some bullying himself, which is incredible to think about.
