A weird one: If you had to choose someone to experiment with in late 2009, I'd have gone with Jack Swagger as opposed to Sheamus. Swagger had been on the main roster for about a year at this point (it's sad to think about how long he's been up there), and had already had a run as the ECW Champion. Granted, it wasn't on the same level as the WWE or even World Heavyweight Championships, but Swagger had already dipped his toes in. Swagger actually had a really decent match with Cena heading into TLC 2009, and while Sheamus was serving as WWE Champion, Swagger was on a losing streak and putting over Santino Marella. The company would pull something resembling a trigger (maybe the trigger on a water pistol) at WrestleMania 26 with Swagger, but after the whole losing streak thing it was kind of weak. If Swagger had won Money in the Bank after a WWE Title run, he could have been the first man to have held the WWE, World Heavyweight and ECW Championships, which could have at least been hyped as a big thing.
This is probably the most anyone has talked about Jack Swagger in a while.
