Swagger is a great wrestler and had an excellent match with Cena a month or so back. I don't blame Vince for having a boner for Swagger, Jim Ross certainly has one, too. If Swagger had the mic work of The Miz, he'd be the most over heel in WWE without a doubt. I look forward to seeing Swagger wrestle some good matches that aren't squashes against Edge/Jericho/Morrison

I'm not bagging on Swagger in any way and don't want it to appear that way. If he could tweak his offense a bit he could be massively entertaining in-ring.

My point is there's plenty of guys who have paid more dues who haven't even gotten a sniff of the belt, yet Swagger and Sheamus both hold it in very early in their careers, cause they're massive!

Curious why they would do those guys though and not say a Dibiase, Jr., who is similar in size and if not better in the ring, close enough and way better on the mic (even though Sheamus seems decent).

Oh well, worldsnotfair.jpg, imo.

Swagger isn't much good on the mic, but I don't think Dibiase is either. Swagger gets better heat than Dibiase Jr. most of the time against anyone but Randy Orton/DX. They gotta build stars fast with all these veterans retiring/taking time off, plus the MITB PPV is in 3 months, so he had to cash it in sooner rather than later.


Sidenote, am I the only one that thinks Cody Rhodes is a career jobber? He has no size, boring on the mic, and just looks like a POS wuss. Not saying I favor Botchtista or Great Khali, but Rhodes and Dibiase do not impress me whatsoever individually.

And Rhodes doesn't wear knee pads, which is the most tilting thing ever.

There's something extremely awkward about Cody Rhodes' body. He's got the tone and definition of a big guy, but the frame of a cruiserweight. His moveset is also more like that of a bigger guy. His in-ring work is pretty solid, but he's not very good on the mic. Maybe he's a career tag team guy. I wouldn't mind him teamed up with a guy that's great on the mic.

Is it just me or does Otunga's slam finisher look like he botches it every single time. Could just be an awkward move but damn it never looks any good.

I lost it when Jericho claimed Wade Barrett was "dominating the ringside" by standing on the apron.

He isnt the most unlikely champ ever. I think Kane over Stone Cold. Sheamus and Pumk's MITB were all the same. Atleast Swagger was ECW champ. Obv it doesnt mean much but its a start

Here are some screenshots I took with the YouTube video. The pics are of Swagger with the WHC. I hope they are visable enough. If not, I will try to take more visable ones later. Click the pictures for an enlarged image.

Spoiler:
WTF? Comparing Swagger to Khali is just plain dumb. He didnt get over at all because Khali is ****ing terrible in the ring and doesnt speak. Swagger has passable mic skill and awesome in ring skill.

The comparison is better to Sheamus who arguably had even less momentum given all he did was beat King, Noble and win a battle royal (iirc). Swagger had a fair bit of momentum just from the MITB and his work on Raw and he will build more heat and momentum when he starts taking on the babyface with Edge presumably being the next up at Extreme Rules. Its a shame he did the job on Raw because it makes more sense if he won that tag match going over Orton but meh, its all good.

Unless he absolutely fails he will hold the title for at least a couple months, possibly as long as Summerslam in June. As i said before this is the year of the "rookie", im just shocked Swagger cashed it in so quickly.

Presumably the next program is Edge and Jericho go at it away from the title post ER and they move someone like Morrison up to be the challenger.

Spoiler:
I agree that Swagger should hold the belts for a few months, similar to Sheamus' title reign. A win over Edge (if he beats Jericho for #1 contender) at Extreme Rules will help solidify Swagger as a main eventer.

With the WWE draft happening sometime between Extreme Rules, I think its possible that someone like Christian could become the #1 contender if he gets drafted to SD! and Edge and Jericho continue to feud. Christian and Swagger had a good feud in 2009 for the ECW Championship.

I don't think someone like Morrison is ready for a world title push and it seems like he and R-Truth are still a tag team.

Spoiler:
Forgot about the draft somehow. Yeah, them moving some new top faces in with Taker and Rey both expected to take time off and thus Edge and Morrison being the only big faces is pretty logical.

I assume he will face Edge if they are really doing Edge vs Jericho with the winner taking on Swagger.

Honestly i think Morrison is more ready for a world title match than Swagger and im a big Swagger fan. Christian getting a shot post draft would be awesome too and with their previous work seems a logical option.

With Hart Dynasty working face now and being the next tag champs keeping around Truth and Morrison as a team just means you are locking up a future world champ (or two) who should be working at the top of the singles.

Plus i still want the Punk/Truth feud with Truth being a reformed drug dealer, there has to be some awesomeness in there somewhere.
