Hornswoggle was behind many memorable moments in WWE during the late 2000s, and hes always had great stories to share about his time there. Hornswoggle has now recalled the time a chicken attacked him under the ring during a match.
While speaking on the Six Feet Under podcast, Hornswoggle shared a funny but scary story from a house show when a chicken attacked him under the ring. He explained that he doesnt like birds because they can be dangerous with their sharp talons, and he especially dislikes chickens. He said chickens are awful because they carry diseases and are just horrible animals.
During a WWE tour, Hornswoggle was getting ready for his match, which wasnt going to happen for a few hours. While he was changing under the ring, just wearing his gear pants, he suddenly saw the ring skirt move. Hornswoggle thought it was strange and wondered if someone had thrown something under there. To his surprise, it turned out to be a live chicken.
Hornswoggle admitted he really doesnt like birds, and having a chicken under the ring made him nervous. Above him, Drew McIntyre and Chris Masters were wrestling, but Hornswoggle had to deal with the chicken that was getting wild and attacking him.
Hornswoggle stated that he grabbed a kendo stick to protect himself, and he could see people taking pictures and videos of him in the chaos. The former WWE star told the people watching that he was not supposed to come out but didnt care, he wasnt going to let the chicken attack him any longer.
As the chicken kept getting pushed back under the ring, Hornswoggle spent what felt like forever running from it. In reality, it was only a minute, but he was terrified. Hornswoggle then added just how much he hates birds, especially chickens. He couldnt believe that a chicken was trying to attack him under a wrestling ring.
Hornswoggles story is a reminder that anything can happen in the world of professional wrestling and that includes a vicious chicken attack. As for Hornswoggle now, he is currently signed to a Legends deal with WWE and he couldnt be happier about that decision. Fans are now waiting to see if he will ever make another appearance on WWE television again.
