Well why not, wwe can't get crappier than it is
Oh yeeeeeeeeeeah.So you want him to be Christian from 2003?
Not true.he's pretty awful on the mic.
Yeah, I pretty much disagree with every single word of that.Not true.
Swagger's current gimmick is great, imo. Why fix it, if it's not broken.
WTF?! I mean, that's gotta be fake, but it's still pretty funny.Swagger can go in the ring, we all know that but he's pretty awful on the mic. However, he's so awful he's unintentionally funny and can be pretty entertaining as a result. He always sounds like he's miffed at something as he stumbles, stutters and lisps his way through his promos. Also, recently he's adopted this 'angry kid' type of vibe to him where he's basically like the kid at school who is ALWAYS 'close to the edge' and someone always pushes him off it just for the lulz. He also has a very punchable face, just like Biff from Back to the Future. He has the tools to be a pretty good heat magnet.
The gimmick I'm proposing is one similar to that of this kid:
I mean, Swagger even kinda sounds like the kid. Just have Swagger have unintentionally hilarious freak outs and you have gold. I mean, who doesn't hate the kid in the videos?
Yeah, it's a work but it's a really good work. Most people still think it's real though.WTF?! I mean, that's gotta be fake, but it's still pretty funny.
Ideally, I think this would work, but I can see WWE overdoing it and just making it annoying. But if there was ever a personality to pull it off, it would be Swagger.
I think that most likely it would indeed work. I have never been able to take Jack Swagger seriously, partly for the reasons you listed in your first post, however, this would be a great way to use Swagger's weakness and turn it into a strength.Yeah, it's a work but it's a really good work. Most people still think it's real though.
Even if WWE overdid and made it annoying it would still serve it's purpose in drawing heat for Swagger.
I don't think they'll turn him face, just have him screw Cole and remain heel after.Swagger is about to get a big face push probably. We all know he is going to most likely fuck up Cole then leave mid match at the PPV.
Would be awful cause the only thing worse than Jack Swagger is probably a babyface Jack Swagger.
Cmon dude, the guy was so bad that he used to get "Vickie heat" (ie "go away heat")Not true.
In my opinion, any heat is good heat. Especially Vickie heat. You can't say he's not a good heel because people boo him. That's his job. Even if they want him out of the building, he's still doing what he is supposed to do. Saying the fact that he gets heat is bad is an awful argument.Cmon dude, the guy was so bad that he used to get "Vickie heat" (ie "go away heat")
If Swagger got the same heat as Vickie he would be the top heel in the company.Cmon dude, the guy was so bad that he used to get "Vickie heat" (ie "go away heat")
The argument was that he is so terrible on the mic that people booed him just to get him to shut up. Whether that is good or bad for business is another matter. I personally think that people changing the channel or taking bathroom breaks when you talk is a bad thing.In my opinion, any heat is good heat. Especially Vickie heat.

He didn't get the same level of heat, but he got the same type of heat. Go check out is promos after he got the WHC. He couldn't even say a word without getting booed out the arena.If Swagger got the same heat as Vickie he would be the top heel in the company.
