Publisher's Summary
Heart, determination, and triumph
This is the story of a boy who fell in love with wrestling before he was able to walk. Born with achondroplasia, a condition that causes disproportionate dwarfism, Dylan Postl had endured multiple surgeries by the age of 12. And yet, he held on to the dream that he would one day become a professional wrestler. Ignoring the naysayers and against doctors' recommendations, Postl began training in his teens, and he soon began appearing on local independent shows. Before he turned 20, he was signed by WWE to play the role of Irish grappler Finlay's feisty sidekick, Hornswoggle, and remained a fixture in the company for a full decade.
While most of Postl's adult life has been spent in the wild world of the wrestling industry, his is more than a story of a little person's journey through a world of giants; it's a memoir of elation and anguish, triumph and disappointment, and of how an endlessly positive outlook combined with the unwavering support of family and friends helped a long shot become a success in his industry and a loving, responsible father.

Just great!
This is a really brilliant read. Not just for wrestling/Dylan fans, but for anyone who likes an honest, fascinating and and we’ll written story. Dylan’s performance just adds the cherry on top.
I’ve read other books by the author and can recommend those too.

INSPIRATIONAL!!! ☆☆☆☆☆
the moment I started listening I didn't want to stop, a great book from the greatest (in his own words) Midget Wrestler. I still remember sitting down with my friends with a case of beers and watching the TLC match and loving every second of it. You have earnt every ounce of respect you have fought for in the wrestling industry and look forward to seeing you perform one day in Australia.

Great story, Thank you Dylan but for me “Hornswoggle”
I enjoyed Dylan’s story. And so did his run in WWE. Thank you for sharing your life. Hope to see you one day as a surprise Royal Rumble entrance.
