The 54th No Smark Zone: Wrestlemania, Jack Swagger, and Test

[Kaedon]

As far your opinion on The all american, american Jack Swagger, i disagree. Off the top of my head, i dont even know what tights he wears, but he does have some character. It's that he's young, with the amature background, and he's dominating the competition. I think the fact he's still somewhat generic in the sense where's more to learn on Jack, makes him more interesting. He's not your sterotypical wwe star. He's not dropping People's elbow's. He wrestling a slow, methodic pace, to wore down his opponent for the win. He's also got that big smile, that should make some people want to slap it off for him. But i see the potential. I think he'll have a good career ahead of him.

I saw his matches with Matt Hardy and one with Christian, he didnt dominate shit. He got out by the skin of his teeth. The character you described was Brock Lesnar or Bobby Lashley, not this pontz.

No..... Maybe you dont watch ECW much, but Swagger dominated his first 2-3 months with the company by being undefeated. Finally got a title shot against Matt Hardy (a big dog so to speak) When Swagger won the belt, he didnt dominate the match, because it was Swaggers first real test. Swagger beats Hardy twice. Then Swagger faced Christian and dominated against him, but Christian pulls off a win, Then Swagger beat him twice. So technically, the only match Swagger was really dominate in was the match he won the belt vs. Hardy. Certainly he was more of a force before winning the belt. But now he's facing some better competition.

And how do you figure wrestling a slow methodic pace = Brock Lesnar/Bobby Lashley. The all american, american thing could be compared to angle/Lashley, but Swagger is still very different.

Not saying you should love swagger or anything like that, i just think its refreshing to see someone new pushed, AND someone thats not so wwe-commercialized. With fancy moves/catch phrases.

I think you and I have a different idea of what "dominating a match" means. Brock Lesnar came out and just mowed motherfuckers down until he got into the ring with the big dogs like Hogan and Rock. And even then, the Rock played it off like "hey this new guy is good, I cant get the hang of him" because thats what he looked like. He came out, projected this aura of a monster and ran bitches down. He was getting loud ass pops in his 5 second dark matches for fucks sake, I know because I was there for one of them, and the crowd was like "holy shit did you see what he just did to that guy?" Swagger comes out, he doesnt look imposing, he doesnt look intimidating, yet you claim he is running people down, I just dont see it. If anything, he SHOULD be playing a cocky, chickenshit heel who cheats to get the advantage and then uses his skill, otherwise its like "yeah theres jack swagger pbbbbbbbbbbbbbt"
