Dylan Mark Postl (born May 29, 1986) is an American professional wrestler and actor currently signed to Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA), under his ring name Swoggle. He is best known for his time in WWE under his ring name Hornswoggle. He debuted in WWE in 2006 as a leprechaun character allied with Finlay. Hornswoggle won the Cruiserweight Championship before it was retired, was erroneously revealed as Mr. McMahon's storyline illegitimate son, and was exposed as the Anonymous Raw General Manager who had controlled the Raw brand from June 21, 2010 to July 18, 2011.
On May 26, Postl made his televised debut in Bakersfield, California on SmackDown as the character Little Bastard, the leprechaun partner of the fellow Irish wrestler, Finlay. After Finlay's victory over Paul Burchill, an extremely hyper, dirty, mysterious little man (Postl) in a leprechaun costume scurried out from under the ring and jumped on Burchill, laughing maniacally. Finlay pulled him off, only to slam him back down onto Burchill again and again. For the next few weeks, Postl continued to appear from under the ring after matches and attack Finlay's opponents. He soon became more and more aggressive and started attacking Finlay's opponents during matches, much to Finlay's dismay. At one point, he attacked Finlay, biting him when Finlay tried to stop him from attacking Gunner Scott. Little Bastard helped Finlay win the WWE United States Championship when he tossed him a shillelagh to knock out the Champion Bobby Lashley and pick up the win.
