Inspired by the Horny-on-Peep-Show (that sounds kinda wrong) depreciation thread, and by my own aggravation with that segment, why on God's green Earth isn't Hornswoggle allowed to talk like a normal person? Obviously he can, I'm pretty sure he talked normally when he was with Finlay, so are they implying that joining DX or beating up on Chavo caused his IQ to drop below the level of speech? Seriously, even my non-wrestling friend were commenting that Horny just grunting and squealing makes him sound and look, well, 'special'.
It's probably the most insulting thing about his character to me now.

That's what happens when you go full retard. (note - that's not meant to be offensive, just a movie quote.

Because wwe thinks that if you are short, you are not normal, and therefore, can't talk.

It's just another stupid cartoon-like gimmick that was old 20 years ago.

It's kinda like asking, why doesn't Kozlov speak English properly or why does Santino speak like Borat.
It's their character. So it never bothered me at all.

He's speaking Suspension of Disbelief. It's a hard language to get a grasp on but some of you should really try it once in a while.

He's speaking leprechaun huh? Lucky (Lucky Charms) & Warrick Davis (from the Leprechaun movies) didn't seem to have any trouble speaking English. They simply speak in an Irish accent.

He's a cartoon character. Cartoon characters always have a hard time with the English. Ask Tom, Jerry, Road Runner, the Tazmanian Devil, & that POOR Wile E. Coyote who can only speak when he's near Bugs Bunny.

Well, Lucky wouldn't be able to shill breakfast cereal if the audience didn't understand him, now could he? Besides, he's a cartoon, and clearly not real. And I have it on good authority that Warwick Davis is in fact a brownie.

I'd rather watch Hornswoggle try to pronounce every word in the dictionary than a Bourne promo. And I'm one of the biggest Bourne marks here. Anyway, yeah, Hornswoggle just came across like a mentally disabled five year old. I've always been willing to accept the character as an acceptable evil to make the children happy, but last night's segment was too much for me.
