Jack swagger

[MikeRaw]

Just wanted to get everyone's thoughts on this guy. There was a thread on him a while ago, but he's been being pushed more as of late, and in my opinion, has made some good strides to improve since.
What do you think the potential is for this guy? He's still young, and obviously has a good look to him, the kind that can make him a main eventer. And the thing that's the best, is his wrestling skills. But I also see him as having a Kurt Angle type personality. His mic skills are actually pretty good, although I know some people don't like his lisp. To me, it just adds to the character.
Basically, I find him as an easy guy to hate. He's a guy, that, if I knew him, I'd wanna punch him in the face, cause he comes across as a dick, but that's a good thing, in this business. To me, he makes a good heel.
Do you see him as a legit guy, who could be a star in a year, maybe two? Or just a midcarder? And who does he remind you of?

I've always been high on Jack Swagger... something about him (no, not his swagger, per say) just appeals and suggests he's got a future. He's got to build more character, but I think that's why he's an ECW guy. I think his attire makes him look like a chump... kinda on Charlie Haas level, but I think he's got far too much potential to knock him.

And his match with Cena was fucking incredible. And he's had some good matches with Christian. Even his matches with Matt were pretty good. Dude is versatile in the ring, and I think he'll be a top heel, maybe even face, in about two years. Maybe earlier, who knows? But with the right attire and mic-work (which has gotten better), there aren't many limits for the guy.

i like him i think he could be big in the WWE sometime. but eversince he lost the ECW title he seemed to disappear

I think that swagger is one of wwe big men wrestlers. You could say he is a weird version of Brock lesnar minus the power and rage. I like the kid and i think he is one of wwe future main eventers.

 

[MikeRaw]

I wouldn't say he's disappeared, undeRatedRSuperstar... This week on ECW, he had a pretty good promo, and then a good angle with Dreamer. I think he's just continuing to build his character, without having the title for a while. Liek I said in my first post though, I think this guy has a ton of potential, and part of the reason is that if I knew him, I'd hate him, as he comes across as a real arrogant dick, lol. That bodes well for him.

^yea iment he disappered from the title shot after his rematch if he ever had one

 

[PeepShow]

He's getting his rematch at Judgment Day.

I think this guy has all the potential in the world tbh. Looks good in the ring most of the time and is pretty good on the stick. His lisp adds a uniqueness to him that makes him stand out, but in a good way imo. One of my favorites in the E.

 

[MikeRaw]

Anyone else see a Kurt Angle type character from him, or is it just me?

 

[Klide]

^hmm ive never looked at swagger like that but if he does suplexes repetitevely and has a submission move its possible

 

[MikeRaw]

Ya, obviously their move sets are similar, but I see similarities in the character as well. They're both sort of angry, and yet confident, and also have the whole amateur background thing.

sucks cock. The only people MORE generic than him are the guys in Priceless.

 

[MikeRaw]

How's he generic? He actually has quite a bit of character depth. He's got some character and precesnce, with him wearing suits to the ring for promos, and having the "all american" background stuff. You can dislike his gimmick, but how you can say it's generic is beyond me. He's also got a pretty non generic moveset as well, as for a big guy, he sure pulls off some sick moves.

"Hi, Im a young ahole heel. I am disrespectful and have a smug look on my face when I promo." His wearing a suit means nothing when we see other guys doing it ever show a la Jericho.

Jericho's suit wearing style is completely different. Jericho is wearing it as a smug, bitter, business-man type of style, whereas Swagger is wearing it as a preppy, athletic, rich type of style. Either way, I just don't see how he's generic. The name, I do find generic though. But other than that, i don't see him generic at all. He actually has his own traits, his own style (for promos and other non-match shit) and his own in ring style as well.

but really I'm likin this guy since day 1 when came to ECW. Like wat mikeraw said he has the potential to be like kurt. Hopefully he has a big push wining a world title in the near future. I like his match against cena on draft day he really stepted up to be a main eventer in my opinion
