WWE announced 8 releases today and one of the talents that was released was none other than Hornswoggle. But Hornswoggle isn’t going to be sitting on the sidelines very long because he’s already booked for the Global Force Wrestling/WrestlePro event in New Jersey on June 11th. Advertisements for the event are referring to the former Hornswoggle as simply Swoggle.
