So last night Swaggie said he was taking time off. Jack Swagger is one of my favorite under utilized wrestlers, he has the right size, tremendous ring skills and athletic ability. His mic skills aren't the best but they aren't horrible either. Is he going away for good or will he come back with a tweaked gimmick?

I could see WWE cutting ties with him depending on what type of contract he has.

Then we'll never have Swaggie time again :sad:

He could just take his talents to Orlando

Would he be a hit in TNA though? How would they utilize Angle Jr?

Don't know what will happen. WWE just basically takes a former world champion and made him the ultimate jobber. Honestly, he can't get any lower then he is right now.

They made the signing of Chavo seem like a big deal.. I'm sure they would have something for a former WHC from WWE.

An Angle vs Swagger feud could be interesting.

I am hoping that his is just like the MVP face turn a while back and the time off is to repackage Swagger.

Not a huge fan of Swagger on the mic, but I do appreciate it would be a stupid move on the part of WWE to get rid. So here is hoping it's a gimmick change and he comes back and seems a lot more threatening which is what I feel he lacks at times.

Wasn't MVP's face turn a massive failure?

I just think Swagger should go to SD and be treated better booking wise. No reason he shouldn't be in an upper mid card gate keeper type role. this jobbing to everyone and their dog business is ridiculous

I think Swagger doesn't have much of a gimmick to begin with. He's got this I'm an All-American thing going and it's kind of boring. I don't know if WWE wanted to package him as an imitation Kurt Angle but it's not working for him. I think he's taking time off to maybe do one of those WWE films. Hopefully he'll come back with a new persona and some fresh moves.

Swagger has a lot of similarities with early Lesnar, both are amateur wrestling prodigies and they have size that would work to their advantages with threatening opponents. Also both of them have their mic skills as their legitimate flaws.

simple solution could be to give Swagger a GOOD manager.

He's getting repackaged. You don't just take someone who's about to be fired and give him a full segment on RAW saying he's leaving for a bit. That's the introduction to a storyline, he'll be repackaged and return as something different. Good.

Stopspot I'm sorry, but Swagger is nothing like Lesnar. Swagger doesn't LOOK like a world wide star, Swagger doesn't have the freakish strength like Lesnar. His mic skills are a lot worse than Lesnar's and that's staying something, lol. They both did amateur wrestling, that's it really.
