worst thread of the week, no arguments as usual... yawn

I think Swagger is good in the ring, but he needs to stop with the weird facial expressions and stamping his feet. He sometimes tries too hard to look 'mean', whereas I think he would benefit more by just delivering a cold hard stare to his opponents, Ivan Drago style.

Swagger is a big guy, he needs to emphasise this fact more. Also, don't give him the mic EVER again as long as Zeb Colter is around.

Swagger rules and will transform America. SWAGGER WORLD ORDER.

Personally I have no issues with Swaggers new direction, if anything it's interesting me more than a lot of stuff they have going now. It's got people talking about him which they haven't done for a long time, and it's something different and, dare I say it, edgy and could grow into something that's not PG.

In terms of his look, it's unique. Now he's lost the hairspray and grew the beard I think he looks tough, he's a huge guy and he doesn't look like your average college kid anymore. His in ring isn't bad, it may not be of standards some others in WWE can set, but he's improving. He is possibly the greatest actual wrestler in WWE at the moment, so I think if he was in there with someone who could play to his strengths he can continue to put on great matches. Squash matches aren't the best way to show your wrestling ability.

I say Swagger is decent and hopefully he can make something pretty good come of his new direction, because I believe both he and the gimmick have tremendous potential.

I've actually been impressed with Swagger since his return. I think this gimmick he's got going on could be interesting also

I'm laughing my ass off at the "average wrestler" argument. Jack Swagger was never pinned in college. In 2006, he set the record for most pins in one season with 30 as an All-American wrestler at the University of Oklahoma

I don't think Swagger is horrible and I certainly don't think he is terrible in ring. His ring work might not be on the level of Brya, Ziggler or Del Rio for example but he is certainly better than most in the WWE. It's easily his best asset. I also like this new gimmick they have going on, seems certain he will face Del Rio but will it be for the title? Who knows?

That doesn't always translate to the WWE's style of wrestling though.

You can tell the difference between amateur wrestling and pro wrestling, don't you? Or maybe not.
