Rethinking Hornswoggle



I never thought I'd say this.  Honestly, I've said a lot to the contrary of this next statement.  A lot.  I like Hornswoggle now.  And for that I have Colt Cabana to thank.  In case you don't already tune in Colt does a weekly podcast called The Art of Wrestling which if you only listen to one wrestling related podcast a week you should really make it this one.  Colt's relationships that he's built over the years traveling the indie circuit and WWE make for a weekly free show with guests such as CM Punk, Daniel Bryan, Brooklyn Brawler, Tyson Kidd, Nigel McGuinness, Mike Quackenbush, Tommy Dreamer, Sarah Del Ray, Kevin Steen, Dolph Ziggler, and Samoa Joe to name a few.  Its a fascinating listen and Colt is stupid funny.  Go listen to all of them here.

This week's edition features Hornswoggle.  I've written before in this space that I never wanted to see the little guy on television again.  He addresses critics like me and also makes you see him in a completely new light.  He's a passionate pro wrestling fan who follows the indie circuit closely and who takes his craft in the ring very seriously.  This podcast caused me to completely rethink my previous viewpoint of Hornswoggle and has reversed my opinion of him.  I want to root for him now.  Either way, give this edition of The Art of Wrestling a listen on your next commute.  You're welcome.
