Bischoff on Wrestling Recap w/ Hornswoggle – Run as RAW GM, Release from WWE, Working the Indies, More!
Bischoff welcomes Swoggle (formerly WWE’s Hornswoggle) to the show.
Swoggle informs that he was a fan of wrestling since he was four years old. His height restrictions should have put a damper on his ambition to become a professional wrestler but it didn’t. He also had back surgery as a kid, and the doctor told him he wouldn’t be able to compete in contact sports or use a trampoline.
He didn’t listen to the doctor and continued to pursue his dream of becoming a professional wrestler. At age 17 he started getting trained by Mr. (Ken) Anderson who trained him as a wrestler, not as a midget, which Swoggle really appreciated.
His first wrestling memory is WrestleMania 6, and he was a huge fan of The Ultimate Warrior. He says that Warrior was a superhero to him, and this inspired him to become a wrestler.
Swoggle informs that his first big break came when he was backyard wrestling one day and local recruiters arrived and offered some training and an opportunity to work in a legitimate wrestling ring. This was a huge break for him, and he jumped at the opportunity.

Blocks 1 & 2:
A listener calls into the show and tells Taz says that he considers him to be one of his favourite four wrestlers of all time. The caller says that ‘Stone Cold’ Steve Austin, Undertaker, Ultimate Warrior and Taz are his top four. Taz genuinely thanks the caller, and says that those other three guys are unbelievable company to be in.
Taz comments on Steve Harvey’s recent email to his staff, where he told them to respect his privacy while filming the upcoming fifth season of his talk show. Taz thought this was terrific and jokes that he’s going to send a similar email to all of his staff. He doesn’t have a dressing room like Harvey, but he will find a way to seclude himself from the rest of his staff.
Another listener calls into the show and tells Taz that he gets a lot of heat from his friends and family for being an adult who still watches professional wrestling. Taz urges the callers to ask his friends and family if they enjoy watching television shows or films, because it’s all the same as professional wrestling. It’s simply a form of entertainment, and there are plenty of intelligent adults who watch wrestling on a weekly basis.
