Hornswoggle is a genuinely solid dude…..gets very emotional about his WWE days and it’s cool that he cared about it as much as us the fans did.
15-20 years ago one of my buddies was in a bar after Raw. Out of the corner of his eye he sees a glass pitcher coming his way, it hits the wall next to him and shatters. He turns to see an inebriated Hornswoggle sitting with a bunch of other wrestlers. I think JBL or one of them paid for my buddy's meal and they all left promptly. Years later I asked Swoggle on a Cameo to tell my buddy he meant to hit him and missed, and he did it. Great guy, one of our favorite stories, legendary.

Ive met Dylan Postl aka Hornswoggle twice one on one and the first time he helped to save my life. I’m forever in his debt. ❤❤❤❤
Literally one of the first things i noticed was his legs dangling over the edge of the seat. Then all of i sudden i hear "Do you want your feet in the shot?...I dunno, would it be funny?". I love Dylan's sense of humour so so much.
I absolutely adore how positive Dylan is. He doesn't seem like he's a positive person by nature and has to work hard at it, which I have nothing but respect for. But you can tell how grateful and appreciative he is of what he's been able to achieve in life. Great role model, someone you'd be proud to look up to. And no, I don't mean that as a joke. I'm being sincere. Any interview I've seen him in he's just been so positive in his overall life outlook.

I already liked Hornswoggle. But this made me love Dylan, the man behind 'Swoggle. Seems like a great guy to hang out and be friends with. Very touching and very inspirational. I definitely want to see more of him and wish there was more of this interview. Forgot to add that he's hilarious too!
Swoggle is such a class act, and is absolutely hilarious. Chris, you knock these interviews out of the park, always allowing the guest to talk and interject when you have something relevant. Thank you brother!
he's only 37?..

As someone who was in the crowd for WeeLC, me and my buddies were just waiting to see if it was gonna be a “real match” or a “Vince chuckle fest” booking. The mini commentary team had us worried, but seconds in we’re all excited that it’s a match. One of my favorites and the only match I remember from that night.
Listened to this interview and then immediately went and listened to like 10 episodes of Dylan’s podcasts what a seriously great guy he seems to be

I always loved watching Dylan do interviews. This is no exception. Thanks Chris for putting together a good show here. And thanks Dylan for being so damn entertaining.
Breaking barriers and telling the man I can and I will, Dylan is very clearly a future Hall of Famer.
Hornswoggle is one of the best people Ive ever come across in the biz. He deserves good things!
I love how he's gesturing with his feet the way an Italian uses their hands. Lol

He’s interviewed Hornswoggle three times already
Yet another great interview. You consistently entertain and inform. Love your format and the "real feel vibe"
One of the most fun interviews I've seen on this channel, love Hornswoggle
This was one of the best and one of my favorite interviews that you’ve done
Your videos are something I look forward too and keep rewatching old ones for laughs
Thank you CVV! You’re the best! I love Swoggle/Dylan. What a genuinely good dude, this is the interview we needed
Very good interview. I truly love it
Hornswoggle is always an amazing interview. Glad he is doing so well.
Loved this , great interview, great watch 😉
I love watching Dylan do these kind of interviews. This is why I love wrestlers like this. Life is just too short to take everything seriously. Thanks so much Chris for putting together a great show here. And also thanks so much Dylan for being such an amazing entertainer. 😊❤🎉🎉
What an absolute legend. Instant favourite episode
Real fans know him as “Little Bastard”
He is seems so down to earth, what a great interview and his laugh is infectious.. thanks Chris for this interview.
Finally the interview we needed
My favorites interviewer in Profesional wrestling period!!!
How can you not love dylan. Another great interview as always Chris.
Bro, not gonna lie. Hornswoggle was such a major pillar in my watching back in the day. Knowing Hornswpggle was under the ring, you never knew what could happen. This interview was sowholesome. You two are both just sooooo cool and nice. What hit real hard was when Chris told him that he needs to believe in himself. Big love goes out for both of them. ❤
Good conversation guys. Thanks
Props to the editor for making Swoggle's book slide in as he was doing the motion with his arm 🤣
Dylan should definitely believe in himself more. Seems like a solid down to earth guy with an infectious big laugh! Great interview!
I've loved every minute of this interview watching it, Time just flew in 🎉🎉
It's such a cool interview. Love him 😊
Dylan is a true legend this is amazing
dude's so funny i feel like he's that guy you could hang out with for hours
Dylan is so Rad and very thankful I got to meet and support him. He treats my kiddo so awesome everytime we see him. Love ACW and Baugher too.
What a great guy Dylan is. Another great interview.
Dylan is one of those guys I feel like I could just kick back a drink with and shoot the shit with. Not just because we share a birthday a year apart but he just seems like a real dude. Great interview as always

One of your best interviews Chris. He was funny, engaging. It was sad it was happy. Great stuff.
Ive seen more of these interviews than I care to count... this one is top three, the shared laughter between them was great. Now I need Maven, Sasso, CVV and Hornswoggle all on a show together, just once lmao
PEACOCK ADD CHAPTERS!!! THANK YOU!! Glad I’m not the only one
WOW AMAZING PERSON THANK YOU FOR ALL THE LAUGHS DYLAN OVER THE YEARS YOU DESERVED IT AND EARNED IT !!!
Dylan is the best. I love his pod and this is ANOTHER great interview with Chris. Bro always feeding us 🫡🙏🏼
Dylan and others like him make me have a greater respect for the business. Passionate and professional. Salute 💯💯💪
New Found Glory is from my hometown in south florida. When I visited Taiwan in 2002, the first song I heard when I landed was of all songs, my friends over you by new found glory. 22 years later that memory still sticks with me for some reason.
I was there in 2007 when he won the Cruiserweight Championship. Went to grab some nachos and then I heard a loud pop. I came back and asked what happened. I hated that I missed that moment but that memory stuck with me and the family.
Another tremendous interview CVV. Dylan is the best
Please have him come back soon. You and him are hilarious together
I drove through Oshkosh a few years ago and my god...they have roundabouts that go directly into another roundabout. Rush hour traffic is madness.

Probably the most genuine wrestler
I opened the KZread app and screamed OMG! in excitement!!!
The joy this man has is lovely ❤
Absolutely loved the interview. Very natural, honest hornswoggle. I think it is time he took himself seriously
Hornswoggle is 100% right around the Attitude Era thing. Great interview. Dude is spot on with all of his takes. Smart guy.
Chris Van Vliet You're really killing it in 2024. Before its over though, YOU GOTTA GET JADE!! And Ricky Starks. Be Well.
Yes, seeing him at Indy shows is awesome, I’ve seen him 3 times He’s still got the famous jingle to start, drives the crowd NUTS!!
Amazing interview, really show the man behind the character
I know that Chris always keep up doing the good job because he *"Never Disappointed"* and Hornswoggle or Little Bastard really made under the ring as his personal luxury locker room because according to him, he felt asleep once under the ring when the shows goes live
Rock v Austin at 19 always criminally underrated
Hornswoggle is great! I love his interviews.
If I ever get the chance to meet Swoggle I’m gonna need both of his signatures. Great interview
Dude he's so much fun to listen to
Chris does a very good job with letting his guests talk and tell their stories while still adding enough to keep the convo moving.
Dylan seems like someone I'd love to hang out with. Not to meet swoggle, but rather because Dylan seems like a fun chill dude
I can’t believe he‘s just 3 years older than me. 😅 But he really is hilarious. What a guy. 👏
I always liked Hornswoggle, but never knew how great Dylan is! Really seems like a genuinely nice guy!
He came to my hometown back in December, still crazy he showed up to do a local wrestling show
“I can bite a good ass, I can’t shoot a good free throw.” I can’t with this dude, he’s hilarious. 😂🤣😭
Throughly enjoy Chris's interviews cause to the core of all of them.. he just wants to nerd out over wrestling.... absolutely enjoyable!
Love It ChrisVanVliet Bro.
hornswoggle is legitimately dope. saw him at ACW. legit legend.
I love this guy and nick is seriously an awesome guy
"let yourself enjoy wrestling." - Hornswoggle. 1000% Agree
28:09 oh my god, i am so glad I hesitated to drink because his laugh would have shot my coffee out my nose
Best interview i have seen in a while!! 44:20
I thought the things sounded old, then found out it was. Love Dylan, he deserves to be as happy, healthy and functional as he can be for as long as he can be. When you see/hear the ones that he is good friends with, you realize he is a pretty great guy as well. Thanks CVV.

Never mind on the old stuff, somehow, I got spun and turned around. I think I was thinking of the books age. His son was on Ego's toy hunt with Dylan and all, you can tell they have an awesome relationship. I still say thanks CVV and honestly, I wish if there was anything that could help him live healthier or better or whatever, that someone would reach out, someone in the medical field or something and do a solid for him. You nailed one of the biggest things about him CVV, it's the laugh. He is Santa because that laugh is so full and enjoying of whatever it is that gets him tickled, you can't help but smile if not full on laugh yourself.
I'm one of the few that sit back and enjoy wrestling. I'm just glad there is wrestling on every day to enjoy.
I've seen many of your interviews. But hornswoggle is hilarious. Just a man living his life and dream and having fun along the way. Id love to meet him one day. I loved his work in WWE
That had to be one of your smoothest interviews. Its close to how smooth maven is.
What a good dude, he’s so proud to be a dad and a good example for his son, it’s inspiring. We’ll always give a shit! lol
I hope Dylan knows that he inspired kids just as he was inspired and dreamed of being a wrestler as a kid. I bet that is an amazing feeling. 👏
