They haven't been high on Swagger for a long time. They finally push him, and this happens.
Jonathan said:He was arrested for speeding, DUI and possession of cannabis.
His push is over.

TMZ.com reported that Jake Hager aka Jack Swagger, was arrested last night after the TV tapings in Biloxi and charged with speeding, a DUI and possession of marijuana.

TheJoker said:It's been said to death since this news broke out but I can't help it..
WEED THE PEOPLE! :facepalm1:
Dammit if this costs him his push then I don't see how he's gonna make a comeback at all, I just hope he doesn't get released. This sure is disappointing for me being a Swagger fan since day one(Ok, when he took the ECW title off Matt Hardy but you get my point).
Aids Clitcommander Johnson said:Yep, i thought WWE did it perfect having him go away and come back a more strict conservative version of the all american american, but he fucked it up, no one else.
If this was TNA, he would still get pushed and they would try to use him to promote accepting what you do wrong and moving forward, but PG WWE will bury him, and neither one are wrong IMO.
TheJoker said:It has nothing to do with being PG and everything to do with protecting the talent though, the Wellness Policy was around around the time of Benoit's death I believe, a year or two just before they went PG.
But still, I think I read somewhere that Marijuana was just a strike so there's still hope that he'll continue with this push without being written off TV and getting canned or suspended.
AidsJohnson said:I agree entirely with the first part, my bad. Publicity matters, and he is getting hits for his tea party talks in the actual media, so i have a feeling his consequences will either be enormous, or will be ignored until after WM (he isnt winning no matter what)
I hope weed is just one strike, but the DUI part is where i worry for him, look at what happened with Tensai before, killing the Tyson Kidd run. What i mean by that, is WWE doesnt move logically, and one case is nothing like the one before it.
Who knows what will happen, we just have to hope it works for WM, and we dont get stuck with Show ADR 3 (ADR finished it with the cross ambreaker, and that should be what we see every time they promo his submission skills)
