Whether your a fan or not, i honestly think that his Mania match (if done right) could be what sets Swagger up as a major heel up against the Mexican Del Rio. And if you dont understand why Swagger won it's all in that one word above. MEXICAN.

This could easily be Del Rio's best and most interesting feud to date now that Swagger has taken this new direction with his character and having Coulter by his side to do all that talking.

I'm still not sold on Del Rio as a babyface...I just dont get him. I dont understand where his face turn came about from aside from Show beating up Ricardo. But now Alberto is supposed to be the everyday working mans champ. Yeah because that fits Del Rio's heel rich aristocrat persona. I dont find him altogether entertaining and whilst some of you dont find Swagger all that entertaining...This feud could be GOLD!

One of the advantages of having a 'if you have nothing nice to say don't say anything at all' approach is that I can honestly say I've never talked smack about Swagger.

That said, if a wrestler makes strives forward making improvements to their character and work I see no reason why fans can't change their minds.

I've always been a Swagger fan. He has potential if he was giving the right gimmick and it's hard to rally behind a guy when they give him NOTHING to work with (kinda like Kofi... forever and always :( ). He's a solid talent and him being in this position really freshens up the main event scene.

Why does it matter to you? People's preferences change. Jack Swagger's character has changed. It's understandable that people would therefore change their opinion of him.

I personally liked Swagger back in his ECW days. He's a really good in-ring performer and has a good look. He is definitely lacking in the promo department, but now has Zeb Coulter behind him to cover that weakness. Also, his feud with Del Rio has the potential to be great, just look at the clash of their characters.

I'd take this feud over Ryback vs. Big Show any day.

I guess I'm one of the few who still thinks the guy is goofy as hell.

Sure, he has a nice theme and a great manager now. But they could've gotten gave another superstar that theme and that manager, and the the difference would've been having the other superstar at least be able to have some charisma.

I can't take this "Power house" Thwagger serously either. That's just my opinion though. I feel he should be one of the guys who get stuck in developmental process over at FCW.

Glad his fans are happy though. I truly don't care if he gets the push. Bottom line is, everyone keeps predicting that Ziggler is cashing in WM. Maybe that means Swagger vs Ziggler, and he takes the title from him. That feud itself would be interesting.

Yeah, I'm going to blatantly say I just jumped on the bandwagon and none of you can stop me. Jack Swagger is awesome! Jack Swagger is the-ahahahahahahaha!

I can't say it! I was so close.

This angle is interesting and something new, but until WWE makes Wade Barrett the World Heavyweight Champion I won't care.

I've always liked Swagger since his ECW days. I think the guy has tons of talent in the ring and has showed it on the past, the only thing holding him back was the lack of charisma. 2012 was a terrible year for the man, sure he won the US title, but on the same night he got buried by Cena, and then lost the belt to FUCKING Santino. After that he was basically a jobber and I really couldn't see him get back to the world title picture in a long time. The reports of him coming back as a face and feuding with Cesaro were a good sign of creative having something for him, but I think ultimately he who'd have gone back to being a JTTS. But now, with Zeb and the new gimmick, the guys turning into a star. I think he always had the backing of the majority of the backroom staff, but they just didn't know what to with him for the most of his WWE run. Putting him with Ziggler and Vicki only helped him in the short term as the team was only really made to get Ziggler more over. The problem when they broke up, Ziggler had stuff in place for him, Swagger didn't, and thats just bad from creative.

I'm happy to see Swagger getting a run for the World Title and his new direction with his character, just hope it has legs to run for a long time, Zeb and Swagger could get major heat with the promos and the match with Del Rio should be solid if given time.

Also, the new theme, is all kinds of win.

Lets see what he does at Wrestlemania. At least there is someone new in the title scene. Im not sure how much more of the dying whale noise I could take from Bigshow. Either way though, Im not going to be too enthralled by whoever is champion after that night.... Unless its Ziggler.

Only 2 Swagger fans? I'm not a very vocal member of the community but I have never had any problems with Swagger. The guy has a great size to him, he is talented in the ring (above average by a bit) and frankly I have always thought his lisp could be included in his gimmick. I'm glad he won, not because I think he deserves it or that his match with Del Rio will be amazing ( ithink it will be good but not great), but because it was a bit of a surprise. I know we all had him or Henry pegged as the winner but I never really thought Swagger would win it. Plus Dutch Mantell is great and I'm glad he's back rocking the world's best mustache.

Also, I rather liked his title reign. I mean it's the WHC we all know it's a second tier title at best and thus I prefer it to be used for first title reigns and surprise pushes. If I'm honest with myself, I probably liked it because he was like a larger Jericho-light and I am a huge jericho mark (still have my Jerichaholic shirt)

been a fan of the guy since his feud with christian over the ECW championship and soooo glad they gave his character substance to actually be able to get behind. He's kind of stuck in a sticky situation though because if he loses at mania he looks weak, and if he win's I'll feel like it'd be too soon for him to win the title since coming back plus what would that mean for ziggler since if he won the title it'd be heel vs heel. Ziggler face turn maybe??

They've gotta add Ziggler to make this a triple threat or it's sort of a ridiculous feud (ADR/Swagger)

This feud does not warrant the World Heavyweight Championship. Both need a ton of momentum and whoever loses at Mania will lose what little credibility they have. If Ziggler wins, at least we will have somewhat of a credible champion.

Face ADR needs time to get over.
Heel Swagger w/ Manager needs time to get over.

This feud should be over the Intercontinental Championship which not only make more sense it wouldn't take away from a WHC match.

Swagger's biggest fans here can be counted on one hand.
