WWE.com interview
Kingston talks to WWE.com about a prank he and Hornswoggle pulled on The Miz as part of the site’s Greatest Pranks series.
We drive away just as Miz is coming out, and we’re driving down the street, and I think ‘Swoggle’s going to turn and pick him up, (but) he drives all the way to the hotel. It was about a quarter of a mile away, because we could see Miz walking. We pull into the parking lot and we see Miz walking from the gas station, waiting to cross a highway and this big field full of ice, and finally getting to the car. We got to watch and laugh the entire time.
