Rich Swann arrested

Quote:

Alachua County Sheriff said that Swann was arrested around Midnight and charged with battery and false imprisonment. No bond has been listed. The 26-year-old has been working for WWE since 2015 and in November of last year, he defeated Brian Kendrick on the premiere episode of 205 Live to become the new Cruiserweight champion.

There are no more details on his arrest as of press time. Swann is married to indy wrestler Su Yung and it’s not clear if she’s the one involved in the case.

Well, he's pretty fucked, unless he has a hell is a story...

Bad News Gertner 12-10-2017 06:51 AM

I heard his was in prison All Night Long.

Please neg rep me for that horrible smark joke.

Ol Dirty Dastard 12-10-2017 07:15 AM

what is false imprisonment?

Ol Dirty Dastard 12-10-2017 07:16 AM

kidnnapping?

Ol Dirty Dastard 12-10-2017 07:17 AM

fuck why am I older the 3/4s of the roster :'(

erickman 12-10-2017 07:22 AM

guess he's not getting the belt

Black Widow 12-10-2017 07:54 AM

Which one is he?

I always confuse him with the other one.

Evil Vito 12-10-2017 09:23 AM

He was meant to face Cedric Alexander for the #1 contendership tomorrow on Raw. They'll probably send out Hideo Itami in his place.

Anybody Thrilla 12-10-2017 09:30 AM

Damn. I was just thinking about how good he was the other day. I don't think he would have gone over Cedric anyway, but this doesn't seem dope for anyone involved.

Anybody Thrilla 12-10-2017 09:31 AM

That match would have been tight though.

I don't think we'll get Itami in his place, either. It'll probably be Drew Gulak (which would be fine) or Ariya Daivari (which would be exponentially less fine).

Wait. Didn’t Gulak win his way into the #1 Contender match?

Anybody Thrilla 12-10-2017 09:51 AM

Wasn't it a fatal four way with Cedric, Swann, Gulak, and Neese?

Anybody Thrilla 12-10-2017 09:52 AM

Just make it a tripe threat. No one would know or remember anyway.

Evil Vito 12-10-2017 10:27 AM

Oh shit that's right, Gulak did win. But he was supposed to face Swann.

It was a good Fatal Four Way but that I can't remember the outcome shows how unimportant the division really is.

XL 12-10-2017 10:58 AM

I think Alexander hit his finish and Gulak stole the win so I can see why you thought Alexander won.

The qualification matches were four ways to qualify for the one-to-one.

Oh yeah, I forgot the fatal four way was on Raw already.

It makes me feel old as shit whenever I find out a call-up from NXT is younger than me, so these days I just try my best to avoid finding out their age, which mostly just consists of not reading their Wikipedia page.

The full police report is in there. Put his wife in a headlock to force her back into their car. There were two witnesses who called the cops. Also, his wife's account suggests that he has been violent towards her before.

There is zero chance he isn't getting fired.

Even if his wife drops the charges tomorrow, there is no way in hell they are putting him back on TV.

A headlock? Good thing this incident took place during a commercial break.

As a fellow husband, one thing they teach in the workshop is the abstinence of applying headlocks to our spouses.

Ol Dirty Dastard 12-10-2017 12:41 PM

At my pre-husband course they actually teach the mechanics of a solid working headlock to put on a show for the marks (or as the mainstream calls them, "witnesses")

Isn't your wife supposed to bounce off the car or crowd and then take the lock or does her promo matter in what happens to her?

Witness: We thought it was a work, brother, cause of the widespread use of social media. I knew it wasn't after he refused to ask her if she could handle this, a question his theme song usually asks the audience when he is on screen.

I was going to assume by the way everything was worded that he's probably put her in headlock before because they train together.

And Jackson Andrews (remember him?).

In fact, I think Jackson Andrews was instantly released when he abused Rosa Mendes.

Either the WWE don't really care as much now as they say they do when it comes to domestic abuse, or the abused has to also be a WWE employee for it to be an instant release.

Danny Electric 12-10-2017 04:48 PM

Emperor Smeat 12-10-2017 08:07 PM

Really idiotic of him to do since it cost him a potential big push and now very likely a job in the WWE.

Depending on what they do with Itami, Cedric or Ali probably are getting their turn next for the big face push in the division.

Haha, yeah. I don't think this is a dumb thing because he was about to get a push. He's a piece of shit for doing it. He's done. TNA would take him though.

Nicky Fives 12-11-2017 09:39 AM

Too bad. If they could somehow splice his personality into Cedric Alexander's in-ring ability, they could have themselves something great on their hands.....

Hope that was worth it, because he just lost any shot he had at the big time....

According to the Observer, the backstage reaction when Swann got arrested was a mixed of shock and some believing it would have happened eventually due to Swann and his wife's past. A lot of them also feel bad for the couple because they know how badly Swann screwed up his financial well-being.

They were able to find love in each other, but the relationship was believed to be combustible to begin with.

With Swann's future in the WWE currently up in the air, other superstars feel bad for how this might affect him and his wife financially. Meltzer noted that it's possible his WWE career is over for good.

If his wife was smart she would leave him. WWE may give her a pity spot on the payroll too.

Something about a wrestler being arrested for hitting another wrestler is kinda funny to me.

Shisen Kopf 12-16-2017 12:56 PM

Can't believe a black dude got arrested

Phenomenal 1 12-20-2017 12:42 AM

Someone posted earlier that about his wife dropping the charges, doesn't matter if she refuses to cooperate or to testify against him. You have two statements that were submitted by eyewitnesses. He's screwed. Once you have eyewitnesses in an assault case, even if the victim refuses to cooperate, the state has picked up the charge and its no longer the victim pressing charges. The state doesn't need her to convict him. The statements of the two eyewitnesses alone will be enough to convict him.

He hasn't been released yet because WWE's Conduct Policy requires that the matter be resolved in some manner before any action is taken against talent regarding the cancellation or termination of their status as an independent contractor with World Wrestling Entertainment.

The false imprisonment charge if you look at the police report is a felony as well. He's looking at some serious time if he were tried and convicted. He's not stupid so his attorney will plea it out.

They'll drop the felony false imprisonment and he'll plead guilty to a misdemeanor count of spousal abuse/domestic violence, be required to complete a batter's intervention course, and likely fine/community service. There will be a no contact order with the victim as well and he'll be place likely on supervised/unsupervised probation for a period of time.

Regardless the outcome of plea deal or guilty finding, likely WWE will be terminating his contract with them.

Evil Vito 02-15-2018 01:54 PM

Mr. Nerfect 02-19-2018 05:23 PM

The charges were dropped, but there were multiple witnesses and many were not surprised. It's best from a PR perspective to distance yourself at this point. And it's not like Swann was very good or very important anyway.

Anybody Thrilla 02-19-2018 06:22 PM

Oh, it makes sense to release him. Just maybe it won't get him blackballed from the entire industry.

Emperor Smeat 02-19-2018 07:18 PM

He's already been booked for Tommy Dreamer's House of Hardcore promotion and a couple others on the indies for the next several months.
