On Your Knees.... In Jail (Swagger DUI)
 
UH-OH!

Quote:

WWE star Jack Swagger was arrested last night in Mississippi, TMZ has learned -- after allegedly driving under the influence ... with pot in his car.

Sources close to the situation tell TMZ, Swagger -- real name Jacob Hager -- was leaving a "Smackdown" taping at Mississippi Coast Coliseum in Biloxi when he was pulled over for speeding.

According to law enforcement, the officer who pulled him over determined Swagger was driving under the influence -- and a search revealed Swagger was in possession of marijuana.

We're told Swagger -- a former WWE World Heavyweight champ -- was taken in by local sheriff's deputies ... and later released on his own recognizance.

He has been charged with DUI, marijuana possession, and speeding -- all misdemeanors.

We reached out to WWE, who tells TMZ, "Mr. Swagger is responsible for his own personal actions."

Damn. :(

I hope this won't be the end of his new push, but I guess if it is, he only has himself to blame.

Triple Naitch 02-20-2013 04:46 PM

How can he fuck this up?

Triple Naitch 02-20-2013 04:46 PM

To make matters more interesting, apparently he bought the pot from a Mexican.

That was almost seven years ago. Shit makes me feel old right now. :(

Krimzon7 02-20-2013 04:51 PM

Welp, best of luck in your Future Endeavors Mr. Swagger.

Rammsteinmad 02-20-2013 04:51 PM

Not gonna lie, when I first saw the headline on the main page, I thought/kinda hoped it'd be something to do with his gimmick, since it seems to have hit a nerve with people outside the WWE.

XL 02-20-2013 04:53 PM

He should say it was a setup by the arresting officer...who was Mexican, naturally.

XL 02-20-2013 04:54 PM

Otherwise...

The Condor 02-20-2013 04:55 PM

Personally, the saddest news in sometime. I loved the potential of the new character and feud.

Weed is decriminalized in Mississippi if i remember correctly, but what a huge fuck up.

Wow.

Worst timing ever for him.

Flash Funk 02-20-2013 05:14 PM

Yah I would imagine with the spotlight already being on Swagger due to the Tea Party's bogus complaints, that this incident means Swagger is out for Mania. Straight up Dolph vs. ADR would be great, as would a multi-man match with possible participants Ziggler, Jericho, Orton, Big Show, Sheamus, and Mark HENRY.. Forget the rest of my post. Henry vs. ADR... BOOK IT

Might put a wrench in their plans. We'll see if Jack Swagger is more important to the WWE than Rob Van Dam on Monday I guess.

Supreme Olajuwon 02-20-2013 05:29 PM

Think about other people before you do things, Swags. :nono:

Must've been Ziggler in a Swagger mask.

Ultra Mantis 02-20-2013 05:51 PM

I'm sure this is all just a big misunderstanding involving Hollywood actor Gary Busey.

Lock Jaw 02-20-2013 05:52 PM

Monday Night Raw:

Step 1: Zeb and Swagger make some racist remarks about Mark Henry.

Step 2: Mark Henry destroys them both.

Step 3:

Corporate CockSnogger 02-20-2013 06:04 PM

God job they've been airing plenty of Fandango promos anyway. Won't seem too forced when they put him straight into the main event now.

NormanSmiley 02-20-2013 06:10 PM

i will be one of the few to be excited over this potential shake up. the rock is part time and had been in the title picture for longer than swagger showing up 2 weeks ago out of nowhere and all the sudden being thrust into the moment.

if this opens up a spot for ziggler who has been working his ass off to get into a wrestlemania moment than have another beer while driving asshole

They can even keep Zeb in the mix. All he needs to do is be like "Actually, you know whats a lot worse than immigrants? People who cant dance"

New theme for Swagger.

mike adamle 02-20-2013 06:36 PM

Does the DUI mean he was driving under the influence of marajuana? Or alcohol and then they found the weed? Either way, shitty luck for Swagger, must be one of those dudes that does this naturally everytime he travels.

Blakeamus 02-20-2013 06:37 PM

So that is why the man always speaks with a lisp.

I guess the chances of Ziggler cashing it in AT WM is out the picture...cause I was certain that this was the plan.

Next Big Thing 02-20-2013 06:40 PM

Can you imagine what will be/ went through his head the first time he saw Vince after this fuck up? Has to be the most uncomfortable feeling ever.

generally DUI is alcohol related, driving on weed is considered DWI. atleast here in Nevada, not sure about rest of the world

Ermaximus 02-20-2013 06:43 PM

Bigger question is, is this Swaggers first or second strike?

Have we seen the last of Swagger? Is Vince mad enough to fire the #1 contender this close to Mania? The policy gives him the right to do it.

Theo Dious 02-20-2013 06:46 PM

God, how much money did Swagger just cost WWE.

Ermaximus 02-20-2013 06:48 PM

I wonder what Cranky Vince has to say about this. Let's see.

Cool King 02-20-2013 06:51 PM

Fucking hell Swagger. :(

This seems to be a trend. Someone goes through a certain amount of shit during their time in WWE but they stick in there and stay with the company, then finally they get given a fantastic push but right as it's picking up steam, they endanger it with drug use.

I really don't want Swagger to become another Regal.

Cool King 02-20-2013 06:52 PM

I get the feeling Vince will be pissed at Swagger but I don't think it'll change WrestleMania. He'll still have the match, but I think if he was scheduled to win at WrestleMania, that could be off the cards now and he could lose and probably go back to jobbing and running around with men in eagle suits.

XCaliber 02-20-2013 06:56 PM

This figures as I was starting to like the guy since his return the only thing he was really lacking was the swagger but he was probably being a the setup guy to help Ziggler take away the belt from Del Rio oh well.

The weed is no where near the problem of the DUI.

Shadrick 02-20-2013 06:59 PM

Yeah the DUI is really the issue here, if we had to choose.

Joesgonnakillyou 02-20-2013 07:01 PM

Yikes, shame really because his new gimmick was probably the most interesting one they've had in while.

still, who doesn't love a scandal? Any chance they'll ignore it?

Joesgonnakillyou 02-20-2013 07:02 PM

Why is the DUI more important?

Supreme Olajuwon 02-20-2013 07:10 PM

because having a little weed with you is probably just a minor misdemeanor that comes with a cute little fine

duis are serious offenses that carry jail time

plus duis are big "public" offenses these days where everyone freaks out

so yeah, duis are more important

Xero 02-20-2013 07:11 PM

Direct public endagerment.

And what Supreme said.

James Steele 02-20-2013 07:20 PM

Holy toledo. This will be interesting to see develop going forward. I have a feeling somebody is going to challenge Swagger for his WrestleMania title shot on RAW. They still have 6 weeks until WrestleMania, so this won't be a complete disaster for WWE. I hope they just have Zeb recruit somebody else and switch the gimmick over to another person. Personally, I think there is a lot of money in turning Rey heel and hating illegal immigrants which leads to Rey Mysterio (w/ Zeb Colter) vs Sin Cara at WrestleMania.

The internet.

Arrogance 02-20-2013 07:34 PM

This is the guy who -just- made national news for having a controversial character...and now he's arrested for a DUI and possession. This is exactly the kind of press WWE doesn't want. Swagger is done. And if he isn't done, he'll be around jobbing. How many Swagger signs with questionable content do you think WWE will be confiscating next monday? And from now on? How would the WWE look if they didn't fire him?

He's done. Or at least he'll be gone for awhile, like Daniel Bryan was. If by chance he actually stays around, he'll be buried like Regal was.

St. Jimmy 02-20-2013 07:37 PM

Swagger is an idiot, possibly fucking up the 2nd best thing on TV right now (CM Punk being the first, always). Drugs are for fucking pathetic pieces of shit.

Heisenberg 02-20-2013 07:37 PM

This will probably wash over once this arrest stops trending on Twitter.

Krimzon7 02-20-2013 07:38 PM

Love how he has that gangsta mugshot stare down. Shit just got real. Swags is living the gimmick

Next Big Thing 02-20-2013 07:39 PM

Would be funny if Zeb did recruit Ziggler and he had to awkwardly say goodbye to his big black friend and Puerto Rican girlfriend. They're practically Team Diversity.

HTrain90 02-20-2013 07:46 PM

Swagger is absolutely done in no uncertain terms. This is an all-time fuck up - even worse than RVD because at least RVD was already a top guy. Swagger was just getting his stride. Imagine HBK winning the 1995 Rumble, then getting a damn DUI. Just crazy.

If we see him this Monday, it will be to job out his title shot to someone. And we won't see him on WWE television again.

I never liked Swagger that much (read: at all), but this new character was getting me to at least pay attention - although I found it bland as all hell. That said, it's a shame that when he got his shot, he fucked up THIS bad. Goodbye Swaggie Time. Maybe now Ziggler will cash in and Jericho somehow gets a title shot? That leaves ADR out to dry, so I guess you could force a ADR-Ziggler feud real quick, too.

St. Jimmy 02-20-2013 07:48 PM

Meltzer thinks they might just shitcan Swagger and move Zeb Colter to someone else.

This is probably what's gon be do.

Not after his new gimmick was picked up by FOX News and people within the Tea Party. There's no way this just washes over now that the mainstream media is involved and knows about Zeb Colter and Swagger's "We the people".

He fucked up big time.

Don't have Hero do the whole spiel Swagger did, just have him act as hired hand/bodyguard of sorts of Zeb.

PullMyFinger 02-20-2013 11:26 PM

Colter should be paired up with the Shield. Promoting justice - the American way!

dronepool 02-20-2013 11:29 PM

Daniel Bryan would be perfect for a replacement..... He's clean. Something Bruno likes. Good publicity. They can go with the whole 'vegan' and probably drug free healthy style, the ideal wrestler- unlike that law breaking maverick. Two great wrestlers, Del Rio and Bryan. Who taps out?

Ziggler cashes in?

PullMyFinger 02-20-2013 11:32 PM

Colter with Lesnar would be great too. Scratch off Heyman with Lesnar, put Colter and Lesnar together!

This isn't a strike thing. Weed is a 2,500 fine and isn't part of the strike-deal. DUIs aren't part of the strike program either I don't think. He could just get fired outright.
