Dylan Postl (born May 29, 1986 in Oshkosh, Wisconsin), better known as Little Bastard is an American midget wrestler on World Wrestling Entertainment's SmackDown! brand.
Career
Postl is best known for his appearances with NWA Wisconsin where he won its X Division Championship. He also appeared several times for AWA Wisconsin where he had matches including a dog collar chain match
Postl signed with World Wrestling Entertainment in 2006. He is the fourth wrestler from NWA Wisconsin to sign with WWE, following Daivari, Ken Kennedy and CM Punk. Postl made his first appearance on WWE television in a WWE Unlimited segment featuring Snitsky, Goldust and Candice Michelle.
He first showed up on the May 26 edition of SmackDown! as the leprechaun partner of Irish wrestler Finlay. After Finlay’s victory over Paul Burchill, the little man scurried out from under the ring and jumped on Burchill. Finlay pulled Postl off, but only to slam him back down onto Burchill once again. The next week, Postl once again was brought out to beat down Finlay’s opponent after a victory.
After a few weeks, SmackDown! play-by-play Michael Cole has been frequently referring the leprechaun as Little Bastard, and that name has been caught on by WWE.
Little Bastard also has gotten involved during matches as of late. During Finlay’s match with Rey Mysterio on June 9, Little Bastard pulled the World Champion under the ring and got into a tug of war with Finlay. The next week, he gave Matt Hardy a low blow with the shillelagh to help Finlay & William Regal defeat Hardy & Gunner Scott.
On the June 23 edition of SmackDown!, Little Bastard actually ran into the ring during a match between Finlay and Scott. He attempted to attack Gunner with a shillelagh, but Finlay tackled him before he could get there. Regardless, the distraction of Little Bastard and his shillelagh allowed Finlay to use his own weapon to subdue Scott for a victory.
On the June 30th edition of Smackdown, he came from under the ring, and handed Smackdown Commentator John "Bradshaw" Layfield a Gennuis Beer.
