I honestly think that Swagger has been a "victim" of being the World Champion.

Hear me out.

I read (in UK wrestling magazine Power Slam) that the winner of the MitB that year was decided by "drawing names out of a hat" because Vince didn't know/couldn't decide who he wanted to push. Swagger's name came out, he gets a title shot.

Now, in order to keep the gimmick of MitB alive and well, Swagger pretty much HAS to win when he cashes in. So, by that logic they HAVE to put a World Title on him.

Let's not forget that he tried to cash in on Cena on the Raw after Mania and of course failed. This is to remind the audience that, despite having the clear advantage, he (nor anybody else for that matter) is better than Cena. Fast forward "4 days" and he takes the World Heavyweight Championship on SmackDown (perhaps a reminder than either Raw > SD or Cena > Jericho).

Now, to my memory, he was pretty "over" as Champ, in so far as the audience booed the hell out of him. They gave him a 3 months reign, his matches were good, his promos were hilarious. Then...nothing.

Kinda feels like he's being punished for them "having" to put the belt on him.

Dunno. Maybe I'm just filling in the blanks a little too much here.

Never been a fan; his look is too vanilla, his work in and out of the ring bores me, and I can't take him seriously so long as he has that lisp.

I think if he improved on the mic he'd be set for life.

He's an awesome wrestler tho, as far as in ring skills go.

I think Jack Swagger has a lot of potential and a lot of time to reach that point.

Ironically I think he'd make a much better face than he does heel, with a little bit of a style change on the mic that would go along with it. People almost wanted to cheer him when he dissed Cole for that short period before WWE reaffirmed his heel status.

I like Swaggar, we just gotta remember he is a part of WWE's new development plan so the World Title run was intended to get his name out there, not to make him a top guy. If they wanted him to be a top guy, he would have actually won some matches.

His promo's as champion were amazing and the heat he would get was on Vicky's level. However now I am starting to think that a babyface turn in in the cards for Jack. And I think it could work quite well, I think they could have ran with that in the Cole/Lawler story but they dropped it so maybe it won't happen so soon.

If managers were still prevalent in WWE, Swagger would be a perfect candidate for one.
