I definitely love Swagger more. I'm not a Sheamus hater, and I think he is really quite good, but he just doesn't seem "there" yet. Jack Swagger, in my honest opinion, should have won the Breakout Battle Royal and defeated John Cena for the WWE Title at TLC -- if they even should have gone with a random WWE Champion. If Cena had kept the title, Swagger had just been made to look like a threat, and Batista beat Cena to take the title, I think things would have been a lot "cleaner."

But Swagger is one of those guys with all that potential to be a major star. I think there is some fear he will jump ship, or something. He's also got a few intangibles (his lisp, the way he sometimes can appear goofy, etc.) that I think could be considered "quirks," but the WWE might see as potentially damaging. But then again, they put a roided-up Conan O'Brien in the main event seat...

There's always been part of me that is suspicious that a huge part of the reason for Sheamus and Drew McIntyre's pushes (despite them being loved by DX), is that they are European. Perhaps the WWE are trying to increase their stock in those markets? But never the less, I hope we see great things from Jack Swagger. Money in the Bank should be a great place for him to prove himself.
