Tony Elliot stands on Hank Dalton during the MicroMania Midget Wrestling event at the Knuckle Saloon on Wednesday.
Tony Elliot has never had a problem with the word “midget.” He enjoys being the “world’s smallest extreme athlete.”
The 3-foot-6 inche wrestler who’s been in movies and TV shows like “Jackass 3D,” “Halfpint Brawlers: Psycho Midget Wrestling” and “Fancypants,” said the word midget is just that, a word, and doesn’t understand why people take offense to it when he doesn’t.
“I’m proud and happy of who I am,” he said Wednesday evening at the Knuckle Saloon where he and other competitors are performing at the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally. “Nobody is making me do this. I do this because I love it and it’s just like why does it make you unhappy doing what I want to do?”
