Looks like good ol' JR is still on Swags' side:

Jim Ross tweeted the following about Jack Swagger's arrest:

"Lots of legal experts on Twitter. Almost gleeful that a #WWE star made an apparent bonehead mistake. Due process/facts appear ill relevant."

"Now being lectured by people I don't even know 4 Swagger's mistakes. He made an error. Don't know the consequences but I won't bail on him."

It was brought up elsewhere how Bruno might play a part on what happens to Swagger. He agreed to be inducted into the HOF because he was shown proof by Triple H that the business had improved and cleaned it;s act in regards to the drug policy, PG rating, etc. How would it look to Bruno if they just give Swagger a slap on the wrist and still let him compete for the belt at WM after some pretty serious violations?

Nice point. I remember that in Bruno's run in the 80s, he refused to ride with newer wrestlers out of fear of being in a car that was busted for drugs and steroids.

I don't feel like they'll cancel his match though.

Wonder if Dutch Mantel would even want to manage this fucking douche considering this.

I personally like the Zeb Colter stuff and think it has potential, but it could work with someone better than Swagger. Just have Del Rio injure Swagger with his cross arm breaker, or have Colter fire Swagger for being an irresponsible American who drinks and drives, and then introduces someone else in his place. (That might take some time, I'm not saying said person should face Del Rio at Wrestlemania.)

Also, word is is that WWE are already considering booking changes. If you're listening closely Swagger, that's your push that's derailing.

his?

WWE sources note that Jack Swagger was scheduled to win the World Heavyweight Title from Alberto Del Rio at WrestleMania 29. No word yet on what his arrest means for booking plans but WWE creative was working late on Wednesday night to come up with ideas, which doesn't sound good for Swagger and Zeb Colter.

There's talk that if WWE officials saw fit to change the direction of the match, then Dolph Ziggler would most likely get the WrestleMania match with Del Rio.

If Swagger ends up suspended and loses the WrestleMania match, the arrest altogether would cost him upwards of $250,000.

If true, that would be a short run for their new Mexican hero. Also, losing a quarter mill? :damn: Hope that was the best weed you've ever had Jackie

Jack Swagger's lost $250,000, a great push and quite possibly the WHC.

I honestly don't give a shit about Swagger. What kills me is that Zeb will probably be gone as well :why: :upset:

Yeah I think this is what makes this situation that much worse. He was getting a huge push and a new gimmick that would have re-launched his career with a new title run. He really destroyed this opportunity for himself...it's very sad.

That's true, after everything else he'd miss out on a big WM payout.

Why not Smackdown? ADR VS. Jack Swagger for the World Title is SmackDown.

I had and idea if that don't punchship Jack and still have him feud with Del Rio at WM29 but he loseis to del rio if he was already idk? but he will lose at WM29 not if he still is getting the title push? That could do a storyline were Jack get arrested but Jack come out and said Del Rio plant it in his car. and it was not his drug it was del rio and he faid my ovariuesly "kayfade" but just saying that 1 idea that wwe could do if? he still wrestling at WM29 and that a BIG IF!?
