Just FIRE Jack Swagger Already!

Here is his history. Comes in wins ECW Title everyone is pissed. Becomes a joke character on Raw, at one point lower on the totem pole then Chavo. So Vince says 'Fack it!' and puts the WHC on Swagger, who loses to Rey Mysterio. Followed by years of jobbing, tag teams, and jobber tag teams.

Swagger's only role on the card is someone who has size but gets his ass kicked every time. After seeing him job time in and time out, I really don't care to see him. If he's just gonna lose what is the point?

THEN we get to the part were he INJURES PEOPLE! Swagger killed Dolph Ziggler's career and now he put the curse on BNB or should we say, soon to be Damien Sandow's tag partner?

Vince clearly thinks he is receiving messages from either Gods or Psychics or Oracles. Every time they give Barrett a MitB Push he gets injured.

Jack Swagger is not a safe wrestler, and his time is running out. Kind of odd he injures a Brit. Kayfabe Zeb Coulter is delighted.

Swagger just needs a gimmick that suits him. He doesn't come off as natural when he's super-serious. Well, he can definitely work a match like it, but he's kind of goofy and they should rally capitalize on that. If he wasn't a guy with a bunch of great legit backgrounds and NCAA championships then he could have been a better Miz or Bo Dallas. Even then, Olympic gold medalist Kurt Angle was a goofball in wrestling. There's something for Swagger, but nobody knows what it is yet. Who watched Husky Harris and thought ''he could be a cult leader with a lantern''?

I like Swagger but he'll never be main event material. He could be entertaining in the US title picture though, since they're still keeping this championship. I've posted it before, let Rusev win the US title from Sheamus and then feud with Swagger. Let them kick each other's ass, it would be fun.

To be fair, other guys have done harder drugs and gotten less of a punishment. The Ziggler incident was unfortunate, I'll admit, but Swagger has been suspended and fined for his arrest and people like to magically forget that. On top of that he completely lost his push and has only been used as a stepping stone talent.

And I'm a little weary over this current situation. None of the reports are saying Swagger separated Barrett's shoulder, they're saying Barrett took a bad fall when he hit the barricade. On top of that he has a history of shoulder damage. The separation you'd get from someone pulling your arm and from making impact with a surface/running into something funny are not the same type of separations. Only time will tell if Swagger gets released over this and it'd be sucky if he did, but he is generally a safe worker regardless of what people want to say. I don't think Barrett's injury is so black and white and it really doesn't make logical sense for Swagger to be 100% responsible for how Barrett lands or makes impact. I honestly think fans of Barrett who manage to be haters of Swagger are letting their smarkiness cloud their judgment.

I don't hate him at all. This WTP gimmick has been his best run imo but it was alot betetr with Cesaro involved.

He just injures too many important people and he isn't exactly ever in a high position on the card so i doubt there would be too many complaint if he was fired or released.

Two people. He injured two people and we haven't even see how Barrett was injured nor the details. Jfc, can you people count? Legitimately ya'll are just slandering his name as if he goes out every night and gives people concussions left and right and breaks people's arms or legs. Legitimately being super dramatic.

And you know who would complain? His flipping family. Ya'll want a man to lose his job when he's got a wife and a baby to care for over a goddamn accident from a risk that comes with the job.

They won't fire him.

He's accidentally put Wade Barrett out for probably about a month (if that), not put Daniel Bryan or Randy Orton or John Cena on the shelf for a year. It sucks that Barrett is going to miss MITB and has had his momentum killed (fucking again), but the WWE don't care enough about Barrett to do anything significant to Swagger. At the absolute worst he'll job to Rusev for a couple of weeks, which was probably going to happen anyway.

Barrett just can't seem to get a break. Everytime he builds up some steam and starts to look like he's going places he either gets destroyed by creative or injured. Beyond a joke at this point.
