At no point have they tried to BUILD the guy up.

Did he need to win the belt 5 days after Mania? Couldn't they have built him up after he won the briefcase?

Seems to me they pushed him cos they had to (as his name was picked "out of a hat" to win MitB) and did it too soon.

Booking totally screwed him.

He's good in the ring and on the mic IMO.
I don't really see how the argument can be made that someone who was given the World Heavyweight Title wasn't being pushed. I won't argue that it didn't happen too soon because it most definitely did happen too soon, but that doesn't change the fact that the WWE tried to push him and it failed.

What are you even saying there!?

The thread asks for people that WWE kept trying to push. As in, guys that repeatedly failed to get over.

Swagger was pushed once. Barely. And even then he was getting the "right reactions" (although thinking about it he was on SmackDown and they could have been edited/piped in).

For me, giving someone the title and then bumping the title matches down the card and having the champ repeatedly lose isn't that indicative of a "push". Like I said, it was as if they felt they had to push him because he won MitB.
