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.
You go head girl, defend your guy. It's tough being a big fan of someone that gets a lot of shit talked about him. I think you and I both like 2 out of the 4 most hated wwe wrestlers by the IWC. Not that I give a damn but still. I think it's Bullshit for someone to say so and so should retire/be fired/released or quit because of an accident or because of their placement i.e. jobber, mid card etc. We haven't even seen Smackdown yet and already people want Swagger to be fired. It sucks what happened to Barrett but accidents, botches etc. happen all the time in wrestling.

So let me see if I understand this. You have a workplace where injuries are a simple fact of life. You have a worker who's injured people all of two times in his career. You have a BOSS who when people get injured adopts the magical attitude that they are suddenly "cursed" and that he should bury them for all time.
That's the situation. Very bad for Wade.
And you think the problem is the WORKER and not the BOSS?
Barret's gonna get injured just like everybody's gonna get injured. He'd still have that push waiting for him if it wasn't for Vince's apparent madness on the subject of "injury magnetic curses"
I find it horrible of you to be wishing that another person should lose his job, what are you thinking? The man has a wife and a kid and to see someone hoping a husband and a father gets fired makes me sick.
It's not like Swagger did this or the kick to Ziggler on purpose. Have you seen the show yet? As I understood it, Swagger simply tossed Barrett in the air and he landed inappropriately. It might just be some coincidence where Barrett made a mistake and it might not even be Swagger's fault. I love Barrett and I would never wish for someone to get injured but hoping someone should get fired is a pretty low thing to do.
Swagger might not be at the main event but he's a solid guy on the roster and even if I'm one of the few guys who wishes he was higher up I love seeing him on my TV.
If he gets fired, then he gets fired, but OP throwing a hissyfit before the goddamn Smackdown filming has even aired and we don't even have footage of the incident ain't gonna change anything.
And ya'll are flipping gross. "Boohoo, MY wrestler won't be pushed, who might not have been pushed anyways, let's call for a man to lose his livelihood and way to support his family." Yeah, that's disgusting and incredibly selfish. Mistakes and accidents happen and it's part of the business, but you calling for blood makes you look like more a bit of a fool.
Barrett has a history of shoulder injuries. Reports are saying he took a bad fall/the injury happened with how he landed at the barricade. That leaves room for controversy and makes the injury less black and white.
Bottom line, if WWE decides to release him then they do. Sucks for those who like him, but he's an amazing talent and won't have trouble finding work. But ya'll trying to shit on or discredit him ain't gonna fix Barrett's shoulder.
People pinning the blame on someone they don't like even though it's unlikely to be their fault again. Just like Ryback v Ziggler when Ziggler ran into Ryback's arm and essentially gave himself a concussion.
Until I see Smackdown I'm going to continue thinking Barrett had full control of where and how he was going and that he himself flipped into the barricade wrong.
It's pathetic how people will pin the blame on guys they don't like though. :lol
Oh and what was Swagger's injury count? Two? In his whole career? Including this one? So realistically, one? And he should be fired because of that?
You may not like him, for whatever reason, but Swagger is a pretty good talent overall. I don't really care for him but it's not like I'm going to skip his matches because he's in them or wish he gets fired because he had the smallest hand in a guy I like getting injured.
:kobe
As unfortunate as they are, accidents are going to happen in wrestling. Swagger is someone who I can see in the midcard until he retired. He's a good B+ player.
He wrestles well, he has a manager, and he's a big guy. I see no reason for WWE to release him unless he does some fucked up stuff in his personal life.
Hoping you're right. Dude deserves a long and respectable career. Like you said, he wrestles well and is doing good with his current gimmick and position.
These things happen and they're inevitable. It sucks, but wishing for someone to lose their job is not going to undo an injury.
Just a few short months ago Lesnar almost paralyzed, if not killed the Undertaker at Wrestlemania and all anyone did was piss and moan a Legend the status of Undertaker put on a bad fucking match!! This whole thread is the height of hypocrisy.
Why is this tread even still open? The True Believer said it best..

Hahaha i'm not sure if this thread is a troll or not. Accidents happen in wrestling, if someone flipped out in ring and assualted another superstar causing injury fair enough fire them, but its a high risk business, these things happen. Jack Swagger is a good in ring worker, in fact he could be great if he was given 10-15 minute matches to show it, but he doesn't get that time. He serves a purpose as a solid mid card superstar, deserves the occasional Tag/US/Intercontinental title reigns and is also in a position to put over better talents. Plenty of superstars need getting rid of before him.
Wow he's injured 2 people his ENTIRE career which were accidents.
I would love to see how people would react if it was Dean who accidentally injured Barrett by doing a planned spot on a dude who's had a MAJOR shoulder injury in the past.
Yeah, for some reason I've developed this weird mental image of Thwagger as like, a girl riding on the back of a life-size Jack Swagger android, with maybe a computer built into the back of the head.
Which would mean right now she's charging weapons.
Wait people actually hate swagger?
The legendary jack swagger whose wrestling ability and charisma is better than people like zack ryder, santino marella, chris nowinski and the great khali? Surely not the same jack swagger who has the size for wrestling
The man with this wife
Well actually he injured chris jericho, zack ryder, alberto del rio, dolph ziggler, barrett. But yeah no reason to fire him just make him go after the us title.
