Mug shot photo. Looking good and pompous there, maybe high.

Well, if he gets suspended for 30 days, he is still back for the Wrestlemania pre show.

God what an idiot, I really had high hopes for this fued too. I wonder what WWE is going to do now.

This is dumber than when Regal derailed his 2008 push by getting back on the roids. Just the dumbest, dumbest thing ever. **** knows what WWE will do with the WHC main event now.

On next week's Raw:

John Cena will be putting up his WWE Title shot against CM Punk.

Jack Swagger will be putting up his WHC Title shot against ???

WWE has two choices:

Fine him and forget about it going with the original plan.

Strip him of the shot, weaving the story into the show and being straight up, then put ADR against Mark Henry who seems the logical choice as a heel getting a shot that they can set up in some standard winner of a rumble gets a title shot which seems to be the back up play every single time they need to hotshot a new challenger.

Honestly I have no clue what they will do. Swagger really ****ed his **** up either way though. He was never going over at WM but maybe at a later match in a later PPV he could have gotten a title reign out of this gimmick.

Edit, Swagger being talked into putting up his title shot vs Henry then losing it that way is a good kayfabe thing if they want to keep the story completely away from the product, good idea. That would be a third option available yeah.

Mark Henry would be more over as a face at Mania than ADR. That would be a problem since it just doesn't seem like a good double turn dynamic.

A good month of Henry squashing faces will help that problem.

But yeah, you probably need another person in there and make it a triple threat.

I hate to say it, but given the likelihood that a lot of people will cheer for Henry anyway, a triple threat between ADR, Henry and Big Show might not be the worst option. That way we get some fun Henry/Show spots and ADR working in some lucha stuff to take the big men down.

Kinda depends what they had planned for Henry originally, though. There are also other candidates like Orton or Sheamus if they wanted to go face vs face or rapidly turn someone.

Honestly, I was hoping for Henry vs Big Show anyway with Henry being a pseudo face reversing their feud from a year and change ago during the Hall of Pain run. I think I could dig ADR vs Henry vs Big Show, scrapping whatever Henry and Show were meant to be doing otherwise.

so what are the chances swagger loses his wm spot?

i havent read much about it

They might just go on with the program. Certainly Swagger loses if so, but it's the type of program the babyface should generally be winning at WrestleMania anyway.

What you read ITT is everything to read about it yet.

Sin Cara vs Swagger in a loser-leaves-country match next RAW

I am obviously rooting for a triple threat match with Henry/ADR/Khali for the WHC

Didn't Swagger just come off a suspension for smoking pot or am I misremembering things?

Best move is obviously to say the arresting officer was a biased illegal immigrant

Woop woop, Mark Henry WM match for the title

I guess you could say Swagger's push is going to go "up in smoke"!

LOL

I think that was Evan Bourne you are thinking of.

I honestly dont know off hand why Swagger was completely removed from TV, but I do know he became a father so it is possible he requested a few months off to look after his kid and wife.

Interestingly googling around I found this article:
http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1...iatus-from-wwe

Which basically posed the question whether a hiatus means he can return repackaged and gain renewed credibility as people forget his jobber status or if he is destined to never get over and might be better leaving and trying his luck in TNA or Japan.

5 months on he is, on paper at least until anyone knows otherwise, going to be in a world title match at WM.

This was sincerely far better than most. If you could keep up this level of quality then you might eventually qualify to be blastoff's apprentice.

I'm guessing Swagger gets written out of the match and very possibly fired.

Apparently Zeb Coulter's (aka Dutch Mantell) granddaughter was killed by a drunk driver last year, so I would imagine he will likely not be amused to be working with someone suspected of DUI...

To be fair, Swagger's DUI was not alcohol-related, but still a dangerous DUI nonetheless. It's a good gimmick, too, they should try to find someone to repackage with it while it's still hot.

icing on the cake there. poor decision by swagger, was a pretty big fan of the guy since he debuted.
