Jack Swagger (and Sheamus) is why I miss kayfabe.
Yeah, we spend so much time fussing about 'who's been built up' etc that we put aside kayfabe and it kinda ruins the show.
10/15 years ago, regardless of pushes, build etc, if Jack Swagger came out and did what he did, I woulda been all like 'WOW! WTF AWESOME!!! Didn't see that coming!!!'. I know from a company point of view Jack Swagger may not be the best representative of the company, but just saying, he wins the title and now it's all about 'he's not ready', 'oh it's too soon' etc. I wish I was young again. ![]() |

Back in my day, if they gave a belt to someone for four years you watched it and you liked it.

I dont think so.
This would be like if the 1992 Royal Rumble was won by Tugboat and he was the new champ. Everyone would still be like "WTF" |

Even Stone Cold Steve Austin has said, 'too soon' to Swagger being World Champion.

Whatever, at least Swagger was an ECW champion. A damn good one, too.

it'd have been nice if they gave him a little steam before money in the bank, but w/e, let's see how it turns out. The guy can work, that's for damned sure.

Yeah but Sheamus was still destroying people and not jobbing up until that point, Jack was almost in obscurity.
It's not his fault, it was just bad writing. I think he's good enough in the ring to make it work though. |

There must be a lot of guys on the card that are like "WTF, he gets a run with the title before I do!?". Morrison and Christian must be amongst that list.

as a morrison fan since he got cut from tough enough for not knowing what a spinarooney was but then did it better than booker, i have to say jack swagger winning the chip pisses me off...morrison has everything it takes to be the world champ. but, i dont see him being a face as world champ.
the one thing that swagger has is a million dollar smile. i see him as a great champ for that reason alone. he needs to act like he doesnt even care that he's the champ. it should be about the perks of being champ. they should portray him as addicted to the lifestyle of a champion. put photos of him in limos, with random chicks, tweeting about $1000 ice cream sundaes...make him look like a white Diddy. i would buy that. |

Jack Swagger is one of my favorite guys in the entire company. He is a great technical wrestler and has the skill to eventually become the new Kurt Angle of the company. I am glad he is the champion and felt that he should have gotten the push Sheamus got at the end of last year since you know Sheamus sucks but I am sure most people like Sheamus on here which I'll never understand why the IWC likes him. He had one decent match and that was with HHH at WM26. Swagger has the ability and he is starting to show how charismatic he can be and I think in time he will be a big name. Now lets hope Ziggler's push starts up again. I do like McIntyre though, so I am not complaining that he is IC Champ, the only guy of the new crop I don't like is Sheamus.

And that would make a better argument if it meant something. That's kind of like saying john Morrison has better mic skills than a block of swiss cheese.

The entire point of the IWC is to dissect everything that happens and then debate whether or not it's good or bad for the business. It's a step beyond just watching the product and either enjoying it or not enjoying.
It's talking about it in such a way that makes the IWC seem like it in itself is a part of the product. Rule #1 of the IWC is that because you've been a wrestling fan for "x" number of years, you know the business so your opinions on what is good and bad, not just in terms of entertainment but in terms of the right business move, is valid. The IWC pretty much fools itself into being "smart" or "insider", which in the end, kinda makes them the biggest marks among wrestling fans. |

i may be wrong but i remember seeing it. maybe it was the same season but i doubt it. i remember when they came to deliberate, booker was tight that he was trying get into wwe but didnt even know what a spinaroony was and said maybe next year. |
