6 Least memorable pro wrestling champions

#4 Hornswoggle

Hornswoggle was the WWE's last cruiserweight champion before they resurrected the title for 205 Live

The Man: Hornswoggle (Dylan Posti)

The Time: July 22, 2007

The Title: The WWE Cruiserweight championship.

Hornswoggle was initially utilized as a part of veteran performer David "Fit" Finlay's gimmick. The Irish Finley could count on Hornswoggle's help, as the leprechaun would hide under the ring and then interfere when the time was right.

On air, he was referred to as Finlay's little b**tard, which is ironic considering the direction his character would eventually take. After a time working with Finlay, he began to develop something of a following and WWE decided to utilize him more.

He would end up winning the WWE Cruiserweight Championship, and actually was the final champion before the belt was retired.

Why he wasn't a memorable champion: To give credit where credit is due, Hornswoggle is capable of performing athletic feats despite his physical condition. However, he would never be able to work a genuine wrestling match against a normal sized opponent, and his mic skills were nonexistent. Putting the title on him was an act of desperation by WWE, who believed that the cruiserweight title had lost all its shine by 2007.

The cruiserweight division was a success in the WWE with superstars like Rey Mysterio, Chris Jericho and Eddie Guerrero being well known names, plying their trade initially in the division. Hornswoggle winning the title all but put an end to that.
