I'm watching this for Swagger only. It's about damn time.

I swear Swagger would be huge in WWe if he just suplexed the shit out of everybody and drop them on their heads. People respond to people who look like they have no regard for their opponents and could just throw around mofos.....ala Brock Lesnar/Angle/Taz.

That would definitely be the best way to use him. Play up the All American American gimmick and play up his wrestling background by having him suplex everyone. Been quite a few years since WWE has had a wrestler that uses suplexes often in their matches, would make him stand out and characters that have used a suplex heavy arsenal have normally done very well in WWE. Are there any pictures floating around of his return? Has he changed his look much or at all?

Very pleased to read that Swagger's back. He's never really been booked well at all, regardless of the fact he's a former World Champ. He was a complete surprise to win the briefcase and his entire reign as champion was weak. I've always been a fan of him and I hope this return has a point. I was hoping to see him return as a face, but beating Kofi Kingston doesn't really suggest anything but a heel return.

I think that he was booked well on ECW, from his debut there to his ECW world title reign he was over as a top heel. Hot shotting him to the World title was the biggest mistake they made rather than building him up as a legitimate threat first with the briefcase but that seems to be a habit with WWE and MITB winners. What I can't work out is why he was so badly booked when he and Ziggler started teaming up, that was a quality team yet was severely under utilised by WWE.

Yeah his ECW run was good, then they started using him as the guy to make Cena look good every other week by getting a great match out of him. His WHC run was terrible on WWE's end, Jack delivered in the ring and on the mic but no one could take him seriously after he went from jobbing to Santino to WHC in the span of 2 weeks.

It is seriously not hard to book a heel into a title picture all you need is a few wins and basically one or two dastardly deeds and you have yourself a number one contender. It isn't tough to book a heel.

You want a heel or a bonafide maineventer you follow my description imo.

Rey Mysterio & Sin Cara vs. Team Hell No **3/4
Pretty fun back and fourth match Rey and Cara looked smooth and didn't botch once, i was kinda hoping we got more Bryan/Rey action but hopefully WWE is saving it for Mania or SSlam this year.

Jinder Mahal (with Drew McIntyre and Heath Slater) vs. The Great Khali Skipped it

Sandow vs. Sheamus ***
Another damn good physical brawl, i really wanna see more high profile PPV matches between these two.

Wade Barrett vs. Randy Orton **1/4
Just the typical Wade/Orton matches that we've seen on TV for the past whay year now, nothing special.

Kofi Kingston vs. Jack Swagger ***1/4
Fuck this was great, SWAGGER looked LEGIT and played the role of BADASS mat wrestler taking Kofi down with his wrestling skill and Kofi held his own, oh and the announce table spot with the fan :lmao

Alberto Del Rio vs. Dolph Ziggler ***
This was another GREAT back and forth match, got a good amount of time and had some nice counters.

Is it just me or does it look like he gained weight? Also not feeling the long hair slicked back look.

Slick back hair looks terrible, i miss the comb over. And yeah he does appear to be packing a few extra pounds but trust me it didn't seem to effect him against Kofi.
