Hornswoggle Biography
American professional wrestler Dylan Postl was born on May 29, 1986 in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, and is better known by his ring name Hornswoggle or Little Bastard. He appears on the ECW brand of World Wresting Entertainment (WWE), where he is employed. There, he became the last Cruiserweight Champion before the belt was decommissioned.
In 2005, Postl appeared with NWA Wisconsin before he appeared on WWE’s SmackDown. While with the NWA, he was called Shortstack or “The World’s Sexiest Midget.” He became, at the time, the inaugural X Division Champion. The next year, he signed with WWE and made his television debut on SmackDown as the leprechaun partner of Irish wrestler Finlay. Postl then began appearing under the ring after matches, and suddenly attacking Finlay’s opponents. It was then that commentator Michael Cole began to refer to him as Little Bastard. He eventually helped Finlay win the United States Championship, tossing him a shillelagh to knock out Lashley and win.
On the WWE Website, Postl’s name was changed to Hornswoggle in 2007, becoming official on the March 2 episode of SmackDown. This was when Postl attacked JBL and Michael Cole. Later that year, Hornswoggle helped Finlay defeat Mr. Kennedy with a senton bomb off a stepladder. This led to the move being called a “Lepreton Bomb.”
During The Great American Bash, Hornswoggle pinned Jamie Noble in a Cruiserweight Open and eventually won the WWE Cruiserweight Championship. This made him the lightest, shortest and youngest (21 years, 51 days) wrestler to obtain the title. He continued his career, even getting involved in a storyline on RAW as Mr. McMahon’s illegitimate son. Despite this, he was drafted to the ECW brand with Finlay due to the 2008 WWE Supplemental Draft. Later on, the two of them challenged John Morrison and The Miz for the WWE Tag Team Championship. Unfortunately, Hornswoggle and Finlay didn’t win.
