Hornswoggle Reveals His Biggest WWE Regret

WWE Legend Hornswoggle made it clear heâ€s always had one thing missing from his iconic run in the company: a voice.

While speaking on TMZâ€s Inside the Ring, the former Cruiserweight Champion and anonymous RAW General Manager opened up about his biggest unrealized dream during his time with WWE—cutting promos.

Known for portraying a silent, mischievous character who rarely (if ever) spoke on-screen, Hornswoggle—real name Dylan Postl—revealed that behind the scenes, he was pitching ideas constantly to break his silence. And he believed he had the chops to pull it off.

After years of performing as a voiceless figure under the ring or in comedy segments, he finally got his opportunity. But it came much later than he had hoped. When asked if there was a storyline he pitched that never happened, he didnâ€t hesitate.

“I wanted to talk, man. I pitched so much to talk. And then when it finally happened, it happened. And it was—it was great that they finally let me. But I just wanted to talk because I felt that I could do a decent promo and all that. But I would literally come up with all of these different things of getting me to talk.â€

Despite being known for his comedic timing, chaotic energy, and crowd-pleasing segments, Hornswoggle always felt there was more he could offer—especially when it came to storytelling on the mic. Still, he looks back on his WWE run with deep appreciation, saying throughout the interview that he considers himself lucky to have had the career he did. He even joked later in the interview about why WWE may have hesitated to give him the mic more often.

“This is why WWE didnâ€t let me talk. Iâ€m not very good at words.â€

Hornswoggleâ€s honesty throughout the interview paints a picture of a performer who doesnâ€t take himself too seriously but still carries passion for the art of wrestling and what could have been. His self-awareness and humility make the missed opportunity sting a little less—for both him and his fans.

Even without the mic, Hornswoggle still left a mark on WWE history that few others can match. But hearing him reflect on what could have been is a reminder that some of the best characters in wrestling have even more to offer than what the cameras ever show.

What do you think—should WWE have given Hornswoggle more promo time? Do you believe he couldâ€ve thrived with a microphone in his hand? Drop your thoughts in the comments and let us know how you wouldâ€ve booked it.
