I completely agree Hornswoggle have earned that spot in the WWE Hall of Fame
if Swoggle gets into the HOF, he needs to point out that he was never eliminated from the Royal Rumble in 2008. so technically he is the winner and deserves a title shot at the next WrestleMania.

Dylan Postl on the show!? I like before the ads finish. Thank you both. Literally one of my top 5 wrestlers because of all the joy he brought.
I have seen a ton of interviews with Swoggle over the years, and he is one of the most consistently entertaining interviews that I have seen in wrestling. He is a very charismatic guy. I am really surprised that neither AEW or WWE can find something for him to do. He is hilarious.
He should be uncle Howdy,on stilts. The reveal would be awesome! Definitely should be in the HOF
So much charisma and being so humble of his fortunate past and present.
This has to be one of my most favorite interviews,he seems really down to earth and dosent take himself to seriously 🤘🏻

The Bellas hatred is dumb. They open so many doors with Total Divaw/Bellas. They did a LOT for WWE. Maybe not for wrestling as a whole, but they had a huge impact on WWE as a business, and the WWE HOF is theirs. The real joke are guys like Drew Carey, Snoop Dog, etc. being in it.
To answer the thumbnail question , YES. He kinda already is being on the list of Cruiserweight champions. As well as the many other memorable moments
stepping it up with the vids and pics..love it. you are a hero Chris!
I've probably watched more of Dylan on KZread than the WWE. He pop's up in a lot of wrestlers vlogs. Dylan seems like a great guy. IMO he has put in the time he deserves success. Wrestling is storytelling. Dylan could tell a great story in the ring.
I think he should be. Not for wrestling skills but he was a big part of the storyline back then. I hope he gets selected!!
This interview is so cool and I honestly see another side of the guy. Honestly the guy was incredible especially with the segments he had with DX and Chavo Guerrero those were definitely funny lol.
Hornswoggle is so easy to listen to. This felt like an effortless interview. You didn't have to carry him through it.
Hornswoggle Dylan is so cool!! I saw the other interview you did with him before that gangrel show and I'm so glad you caught up with him for a full sit down interview. This is great stuff and I never would've guessed hornswoggle was so cool if it was for these interviews!!
Nice of Swoggle to put you over like that at the end. Rightly deserved of course. Also, of course Hornswoggle deserves to go into the HOF. He had a good career in WWE, and seeing him show up sometimes in places like Impact, ROH, and even AEW was cool. He could've never been seen again once him and Finlay stopped teaming, but he ended up doing so much after that and it was entertaining to watch, and he always has so many interesting stories to tell. Glad to hear him and his family are doing well. Good chat.

Another great CVV interview from being little bstard to actually being acknowledged as Honswoggle I loved his tenure in WWE it's great to see him getting some love. Dylan is definitely deserving of a spot in the WWE HOF
CVV, I always enjoy your interviews, thank you!
Wow .. Freaking amazing personality and outlook on life . Plus great/hilarious story telling . His podcast is going to do great ! And he just added a fan for sure
he was so much fun to watch with Finley and DX, i was hoping to see him in royal rumble
I saw the clip and I put everything on hold. The best energy the good vibes
Dylan is such a business man. Love to see it.

I requested you do this interview not too long ago and here it is. I actually mentioned in a comment on Dylan's channel that he has to get back on here as well and here he is. Thanks for doing this. He has been one of my favorites for a long time. Take care. Oh and YES Hornswoggle should be in the HOF!!
Man when it comes to the tiny wrestlers. 3 come to mind for me. Little Beaver, Dink, and Hornswoggle. Definitly deserves to be in the hof
Id use my PSP too! I wish they kept those around! I played RvsSmackdown soooo much, also the then current Madden game
I actually remember that match with Jon Heder lol, that was such a random and fun match
Yes deffinately, I've still got a boxed hornsewoggle figure, I got right before my local woolworths store closed down years back
Holy shit,he's so heart warming and inspirational like where his heart is.
Such a unique perspective from such a unique talent
He's definitely earned his place in the hall of Fame💯.....was a huge part of the show in his prime 👍😎
Yes, swoggle needs to be in the HOF! I'd do it this year!
There is no debate about this!!! YEEEESSS!!! HEEELLLL YES he should be in the WWE Hall of Fame! Through the years he has taken some serious punishment and bumps for our entertainment... He's had some amazing storylines and always entertaining and made the crowd excited! 👏 He's got my vote!👍
He deserves to be in the HOF.
I see Dylan and I have the same taste in computer chairs! 🤣
27:00 This is another version of the Eras HulkaMania Era-Attitude Era-Ruthless Aggression Era-Universe Era/PG Era-The New Era-Modern Era
I really enjoyed this
Hornswoggle is one of those wrestlers that I remember just... being there for everything related to WWE. To me he's an icon of wrestling, same as how wrestlers like Kamala or Brutus Beefcake who aren't big stars but very present figures in WWE history.
31:05 I mean I hear dwarf I think Gimli... and I guess THEN the seven Dwarves, but Gimli(and other fantasy Dwarves, I'm not much of a LotR fan) is first!
We aĺl miss hornswoggle + Can the next episode be with finn balor please
Yes Swoggle should be in the hall of fame, he was that generations dink the clown imo
Hell yes he should be in the Hall of Fame, greatest little man ever.
This is the free agency era. Talent can go anywhere they want because there are multiple avenues to make money in the wrestling business
Weelc is still one of the best matches I can remember
I’d call the current era the “TKO Era.”

Attitude Era started with Montreal Screwjob and you could push it back a month to the debut of Kane and the first violent and bloody Hell in a Cell match as a sign of things to come. Ruthless Aggression started with the brand extension in March 2002 and ended in mid 2008. While WWE already had elements of PG in 2007 and John Cena firmly on top, if you look at the 2008 Royal Rumble, this was a star studded Royal Rumble, probably second only to 1992. That roster was by no means PG. It was Ruthless Aggression thru and thru with several remnants of the Attitude Era still there. By a year later most of these guys were gone. And I distinctly remember 2009 being one of the worst years in WWE history and WWE continuing to outdo itself year over year until 2014. The PG Era was clearly 2009-2013 because every year was worse than the year before. WWE bounced back in 2014 with the end of the streak, the debut of Sting, the rise of Daniel Bryan, the end of the Shield, and the dominance of Lesnar.
As someone who has autism and is wheelchair bound I’ve only started realising as I get older how good Dylan is and how important he was and is to the wrestling business I loved watching Dylan as a kid probably for the comedic aspect of his character but now I realise that it’s mainly due to Dylan in my opinion anyway that people like us with disabilities can be taken even remotely seriously in something like wrestling and aren’t just seen as a token of inclusion…
Despite what he thinks swogs definitely deserves and earned everything that has came to him sure right place right time plays a part but most people just wouldnt be okay doing some of the things he did for our entertainment and that deserevs recognition to me
Great vince impression
100% Hall of Famer. Someone seriously needs to get that ball rolling.
Man, Dylan with that thinking, your holding yourself down!
How about the Steelers? What did they sign?
Hornswoggle in the hall of fame? No question.

I had two fish growing up and their names were Finley and Hornswoggle. One ate the other. I think Hornswoggle went over
Queen sharmell & Dave Taylor interview would be nice
Hornswoggle deserves a HOF spot, no question. He is easily the best and funniest midget wrestler ever. He was in major stories, he was in major PPVs, and he was hilarious as Finley's sidekick. He was in Little People's Court and other funny things. The only reason not to admit him to the HOF this instant would be if he makes a return to TV. If he is too old to bump now, he can still be a comedy character. I don't know how long midgets live, but if Hornswoggle isn't in the HOF before he dies, I will never watch WWE again.
