[Carl Tethers]

Hornswoggle the fakkit

 

[Rollie Forbes]

The Isaac Yankem gimmick didn't last long enough to make much of an impact. It didn't work, and it got scrapped. Eventually, Glenn Jacobs left wrestling and went into politics as the Big Red MAGA machine. I would never vote for him as a politician, but he gets my vote in this poll.

Hornswoggle was introduced to help get Fit Finlay over; but he took a silly leprechaun gimmick and made it work. I'm actually surprised that Swoggle (his name in the indies) hasn't been picked up by another promotion. He still has name recognition, and he's young enough to still work. He can still be a solid hand. If I were Tony Khan, I'd probably bring in Hornswoggle to play Darby Allin's taller brother.

 

[Finn Baller]

it makes sense that a midget would be a leprechaun, not like there's a ton of suitable gimmicks for midgets. Plus kids loved him.

 

[The Rainmaker]

Both are terrible gimmicks, but Isaac Yankem didn't last that long.

On the contrary, that fukking midget was the center of some terrible moments in WWE history: That roadrunner/coyote moment with Carlito, being the last cruiserweight champ for a while, being the anonymous GM, being Vince's son, and probably many others.

 

[Mr. Manhattan]

Hornswoggle was goofy but he was a good package with Finlay, and was over with the crowd

Issac Yankem was just garbage

 

[Finn Baller]

also the Wee-LC match vs Torito was fire

 

[Ed MOTHERFUCKING G]

Good matchup.

As a kid i legit had heat with issac yankem. I always just wanted hornswoggle to GO AWAY. Easily swoggle

 

[The Rainmaker]

Also one of my favorite WWE moments. Fukk him.

 

[Pull Up the Roots]

I don't have any memories of Isaac Yankem, but I have a lot of Hornswoggle, and they're mostly bad.

Also one of my favorite WWE moments. Fukk him.

You can tell he really hated that little mf.

 

[El Guapo]

Hornswoggle has been in some of the WOAT segments in WWE history… but I’m going to vote for Isaac Yankem because he’s a reminder of WWE at its most awfulness. “He’s a dentist, but he’s got bad teeth pal!”

 

[Vic Damone. Jr]

Yankem failing gave us Kane so

 

[Tj Bronson]

It's already been said, but Hornswoggle had some truly trash moments and they outweigh whatever there was about Yankem for me. Swoggle gets this vote.

Wasn't there a poster on named swoggle?

 

[jerniebert]

fukk any version of CTE KKKane.

 

[Heelish]

Swoggle gave us WeeLC

Voted Yankem
