WWE’s exmiembro, Hornswoggy, will be remembered for the funny moments he created during his time at WWE with segments with Finlay, Vince McMahon, JBL, D-Generation X, The Great Khali, among many others. He was part of the company from 2006 to the end of 2016. During an interview in the Insight podcast with Chris Van Vliet, WWE’s former cruise champion explained an anecdote about the moment when The Rock did not recognize him in Backstage and confused him with a child from the Make-A-Wish Foundation. The events occurred on the night when The Rock returned to WWE to announce that he would be the host of Wrestlemania 27. Hornswoggy, whose real name is Dylan Postl, had just worked on the Monday Night Raw program of that night and was behind the stage with a suit, when he decided to approach The Rock and thank him for returning. Instead of recognizing a WWE partner, The Rock gave him a palmadita on his shoulder and offered him what sounded like a message to a guest. “I see my friend Dwayne return to WWE and think, let’s go there! And I say: ‘Thank you very much for returning. Thank you for what you will do for Wrestlemania 27 and for the company, and I am glad to have you back. A pleasure to meet you. My name is Dylan.’ Go … And I say: ‘Hey rock! In seconds, Hornswoggy’s phone was filled with messages and jokes due to The Rock error. The moment became so popular among racks that even Big Show confronted The Rock the following week. “The story continues, worse. I told Kofi thinking that I would support me. He supported me by sending messages to 97 people immediate Hornswoggle finds the grace to the anecdote, especially since Dwayne Johnson is now technically his boss: “Now he is my boss. The Rock, I accept your apologies “Hornswoggy, who currently has a WWE legend contract under the umbrella of Tko Group, took all the story calmly, showing the same self -critical humor that made him one of the fans’ favorites during his career in WWE.
