15-20 years ago one of my buddies was in a bar after Raw. Out of the corner of his eye he sees a glass pitcher coming his way, it hits the wall next to him and shatters. He turns to see an inebriated Hornswoggle sitting with a bunch of other wrestlers. I think JBL or one of them paid for my buddy's meal and they all left promptly. Years later I asked Swoggle on a Cameo to tell my buddy he meant to hit him and missed, and he did it. Great guy, one of our favorite stories, legendary.

Hornswoggle is a genuinely solid dude…..gets very emotional about his WWE days and it’s cool that he cared about it as much as us the fans did.

I absolutely adore how positive Dylan is. He doesn't seem like he's a positive person by nature and has to work hard at it, which I have nothing but respect for. But you can tell how grateful and appreciative he is of what he's been able to achieve in life. Great role model, someone you'd be proud to look up to. And no, I don't mean that as a joke. I'm being sincere. Any interview I've seen him in he's just been so positive in his overall life outlook.

As someone who was in the crowd for WeeLC, me and my buddies were just waiting to see if it was gonna be a “real match” or a “Vince chuckle fest” booking. The mini commentary team had us worried, but seconds in we’re all excited that it’s a match. One of my favorites and the only match I remember from that night.

His son was on Ego's toy hunt with Dylan and all, you can tell they have an awesome relationship. I still say thanks CVV and honestly, I wish if there was anything that could help him live healthier or better or whatever, that someone would reach out, someone in the medical field or something and do a solid for him. You nailed one of the biggest things about him CVV, it's the laugh. He is Santa because that laugh is so full and enjoying of whatever it is that gets him tickled, you can't help but smile if not full on laugh yourself.
