I love the gutwrench powerbomb. One of the better and more unique finishing moves right now, especially of all the new ECW guys. When was the last time someone used that? I remember Wrath in WCW but there has to be someone since then.
And yes I love "The All-American American". It's somewhat comical but still has a serious feel to it. I doubt he'll still be called that if he makes it big but it shouldn't go away. |

When you say people, do you mean Volare? He is the only person in the thread that doesn't like the gimmick. Everyone else said it is fine for where he is. You are so fucking retarded.

And even Volare didn't say anything particularly negative about it. While Volare may think it's horrible, the statement left it wide open for interpretation.

I haven't seen Jack Swagger until I saw that You Tube video.
I like him......I like him a lot. He has the "it" factor from what I see. He reminds me of a mix between Randy Orton and Kurt Angle. I don't know what his wrestling ability is like, but this guy seems to be the goods. |

As for the Gutwrench Powerbomb? I agree that it is sort of "just another move," but the last guy I remember using it on a semi-regular basis was Test. I think Swagger pulls it off well, but I don't know. I'd like to see him do something cooler. |

Just to be clear, Noid, I was repeating your own claims that you post to antagonise people like me. In fact, you named in explicitly in those claims in the past, as well as BDC and the like. I didn't say "every time," which alters the tone and intent of my post, and takes it--as you might say--"way off-centre."
As for The All-American-American, you were addressing people, which in and of itself implies more than one person. You tossed on at the end that it wasn't offensive, something nobody was really claiming, near as I can tell. You also didn't mention that you thought it was fine as a main event gimmick, you said something rather open about "digging" it. So what you meant was: Quote:

I also continue to love the insistence that I am pissed. No, no I am not. It's just getting boring and distracting the same thing happening every thread. BDC sounds much angrier, but I'm sure he doesn't give two shits. Both Xero and Volare implied that they didn't see much long-term worth in the "All-American American" name. That is not "digging it." The point about it not being offensive? What the fuck are you on about? Is it offensive? No. Then stop arguing that I am wrong for saying so. That statement was in reference to it being perfectly fine as a main event moniker, which was in response to what Xero said about it not working at that level. I'm beginning to think you may actually be a low-level journalist somewhere. The taking of meaning, the inability to read or interpret subtext, the inability to connect A to B. I'm not going to do it for you all of the time, KK, because it's something I shouldn't have to do. If you can't gather from Xero and Volare's posts that they don't like the name "All-American American" from either a short-term or long-term perspective, and that I don't think there's anything wrong with it, there is no helping you. Also, I didn't mean what you posted. I was not just referring to Xero. I was not just referring to the main event value of the moniker. Don't speak for me. I'd rather not fill every sentence with inadvertent self-defacing irony and straw-man rhetorics. Last edited by Mr. Nerfect; 12-04-2008 at 09:18 PM. |

Just think how important it would be if we actually discussed wrestling.
![]() I'm glad they've shifted Jack Swagger out of his generic tights into the black and blue wrestling singlet. And given him his own entrance theme. His aesthetics when he debuted were less than desirable. |

Personally, I'm not sold on him....yet
His wrestling is good, but the gimmick still seems forced to me, it doesn't seem natural. Plus i can't see anyone with a lisp being WWE champ any time soon |

No, THIS is a bold prediction for Jack Swagger:
Jack Swagger will become at the very least a US/Intercontinental champ. Not too certain about anything higher. |

LOL at Xero whinging.
It'll be interesting to see what they do with Swagger now that he seems to be going after Matt Hardy at the same time Vladimir Kozlov seems to be. I also get the feeling that Chavo Guerrero's match against Hardy on SmackDown! was a test to see how those two work together. It wouldn't surprise me to see a Fatal Four Way between them for the ECW Title at the Royal Rumble, or something. |

Jim Ross is high on the guy, and reported that he has been getting a lot of positive reviews backstage, too. I think he'll be ECW Champion before too long. I'd rather see him with the IC or US Title, though. Start him off lower and work up. The ECW Title might not be the most credible belt in the WWE, but it being one by guys just a few months into their career is not going to make it look any better.

ECW is the equivelent of the IC or US title, Noid.

Let me first say that Jack Swagger's theme song is amazing. I want to listen to it all day, but unfortunately, I have to go to work sometimes.
Instead of them putting the ECW title on him right away though, I'd rather see him give Hardy a GREAT match before Ricky Ortiz runs in and costs Swagger the match. I liked the little back and forth they had before their match, and I would really like to see a feud between the two of them pan out. |

It's a little bit higher. The WWE still technically considers it a "World Title," and whenever the ECW Champion fights the US or IC Champion (besides Hardy's last match with Regal, but I think that was originally intended to boost Regal to the ECW Title chase), they are victorious.
They also include the ECW Champion in Champion of Champions Matches and the like. I'd consider it more important than both the IC and US Titles. Somewhere between the realms of legit World Title and mid-card title. |

It's way too early to make Swagger ECW Champion, I agree. I'm looking forward to his matches with Matt Hardy, though. |

They toss in the ECW champion with the other world champions only when the feel like it. If the ECW champion is Bigshow, Bobby Lashley, or Matt Hardy they start almost treating it like a 3 world title, when someone like CM Punk or Morrison has it, then it is an opening match with no flair for a ppv.

The Benoit stuff really hurt the ECW Title, I think. Before that, they were calling it the "ECW World Championship," and I'm sure that Benoit was meant to win the title at Vengeance: Night of Champions, and wrestle some matches with CM Punk, which would have been star-making stuff. I've said it before, but I think a Benoit/Punk blow-off with Punk finally winning the ECW World Title could have headlined a smaller PPV like Armageddon. As much as he is awesome, and I love him, Johnny Nitro winning the ECW Title sort of lowered it a bit, and got it stuck in a rut, of sorts. He now seems ready for something like the ECW Title, but back then, it feels like he only got the nod because they didn't want to pull the trigger with CM Punk, and Johnny Nitro was the most decorated guy on the ECW roster to fill in for Benoit. Then Punk won it, but beating John Morrison wasn't really like beating the best technical wrestler in the WWE, at the time. Then he lost it to Chavo Guerrero, and then they decided (for some reason), that the ECW Champion should compete in the Royal Rumble Match. It's an inconsistent road they've traveled, but I'm hoping Matt Hardy really raises the prestige. |
