My Take
Hornswoggle is one of those wrestling acts I find genuinely fascinating because the gimmick could so easily have gone wrong, yet Dylan Postl made it work for years in WWE. Standing 135 cm, he turned his size into a whole comedic and storyline identity rather than a limitation, which takes real craft and timing. What I respect most is the longevity: he stayed valuable enough that WWE kept him on a legends contract, and he's still wrestling the independent scene as Swoggle, plus a run in Impact. That's a performer who understands his niche and keeps reinventing it. I'd argue he's underrated as a character worker.
