Hornswoggle‘s first interaction with The Rock didn’t exactly go as he would have imagined it.
Former WWE Superstar Hornswoggle was a recent guest on INSIGHT with Chris Van Vliet. When asked about his first encounter with The Rock, Hornswoggle told a story where The Rock thought he was actually a Make-A-Wish kid.
“So I am in a suit, a legit suit. Not my leprechaun outfit, with my gear bag. And I’m gonna meet him behind the curtain as he comes through,” Hornswoggle said. “In my mind, best friends, I see my buddy Dwayne come back through, oh boy, here we go! I say, ‘Hey man, thank you so much for coming back. Thanks for what you’re gonna do for WrestleMania and what you’re gonna do for the company, and just glad to have you back. Good to meet you. My name is Dylan.’
“He extends his arm out, goes, ‘Did you have a good time tonight, buddy?’ Taps me on the shoulder, leaves, and I go, Oh no. He doesn’t realize I work here. I was on the show before that. I told Kofi, thinking he would have my back and support me.
“He supported me by texting 97 people immediately while driving because he couldn’t wait on it. Within 30 seconds, I had so many people message me. ‘Rock thought you were a Make-A-Wish kid, huh?’ Big Show called him out the next week about this, because it got to Big Show. Rock goes, ‘No, yeah, I did, yeah, I did. I don’t watch the show.’ I approached him about it, too. And he said yeah, Big Show already got on me about this.”
If The Rock didn’t watch the show then, it’s even more unlikely he watches the show now, which would explain his current obsession with wanting to turn Cody Rhodes heel.
