I was honestly shocked at this one...well not really that shocked, but still.

When I first heard about Swagger's plan to go undefeated for the rest of the year I thought it was actually an excellent announcement. It seemed like the perfect springboard into the main event for a guy like Swagger. And hell, it wasn't that much of a stretch, he only had a few months to go. They started him off beating jobbers (WWE's favorite thing to do) and he eventually started progressing towards actual superstars.
As soon as I saw the tension start between he and Miz, I knew nothing good could come of it. Obviously if you're starting a program with Miz, it's going to be a US Title program. I severely doubted the fact that they would have Miz drop the title any time soon so that obviously set off the loss bells.

The bigger problem, is why does WWE even bother committing to a storyline of this importance if they're just going to throw it out the window.
A. It's absolutely asinine booking. RAW's main event needs heels so badly right now. So what do they do? Instead of moving a potential main event heel into the picture they choose to feud him with the ALREADY heel U.S. Champ?
B. They blew it off like it was absolutely nothing. Over the past few weeks I could tell something was up because even Swagger didn't fucking mention it. And when he lost to Bourne on RAW, King simply said "Oh well, there goes his undefeated streak."

WWE has no one to blame but themselves for their failure. You know why story lines and gimmicks can't get over? Because they don't commit to them long enough without throwing them out the window. Yeah, who the hell would care that Swagger was beating a bunch of jobbers. Maybe if you actually booked the guy into some decent matches and had him come out on top people would give a shit.

Sad really. Yet another storyline prematurely down the drain, and coincidently of course, it was a mid-carder.... on RAW. This could have gone so far, so many ways, could have elevated this guy to the main event had it been booked right. Sad really.
 

Great One

Yeah.. this coulda been pro. He coulda started going back to ECW and SD and just fucking everyone up.

I think that the miz and swaggeR storyline could be a good one though. If booked correctly it can be very good.

They somehow managed to work this out by making neither Bourne, nor Swagger, nor Miz looking good.

this really isnt even a loss.. more of a "who should be team captain"

nobody really was focusing on the undefeated streak, rather the who should be team captain.

What makes it dumber is that since he started the streak, hes only won 2 matches i think against the guy that beat him

No... Dunno what you mean, but trust me... IT'S A LOSS.

That's not true though. Until that very episode of Raw the team captains thing hadn't been announced, whereas, Swagger had been chatting about going undefeated for a few weeks already.


Point is why bother setting this shit up if YET A-G-A-I-N they're just gonna abandon the storyline for no apparent reason before anything can come from it.

I think that the miz and swaggeR storyline could be a good one though. If booked correctly it can be very good.

They're gonna accidentally turn Swagger face at this rate tho'... Keep heels away from Miz... To his credit, he'll 'steal' their heat... I mean, who wouldn't want to see Swagger take Miz to school? ...No matter how much of a wanker you think he is?

Worries me that they'll have Swagger somehow get Miz eliminated or even cost his team the victory @ SS.
