Great a lot dont like him, but he is cool. His mma stuff and his size are considerable, dont see how him being a trump supporter is relevant tho :lol

 

[Ace]

A Trump supporter gimmick in WWE could be funny :lol

Think there was a wrestler who use to use it in a Mexcian promotion a few years bck.

 

[Reggie Dunlop]

Not a bad addition if it’s true. He could stand to lose the ‘we the people’ shit, though.

 

[NascarStan]

Swagger is legitimate, has some size and is a good worker so I say this is a good signing imo

 

[Dr. Middy]

Interesting, he could do a good bully heel gimmick or something, and his size will stand out given most of AEW's roster.

Is he going to do Bellator and AEW at once?

 

[rberg922]

I thought the AEW brass was pitching their new company as more inclusive etc. Jack Swagger would be a red-hot heel because of his support for Trump but I wouldn't think they would want that publicity, especially for a new show.

 

[RiverFenix]

I think he's underrated in ring BUT not sure how he'd fit with the politics of the brand. But he has always been a huge favorite of Jim Ross so always had an in with the company if he wanted it. Hager of course isn't the only Trump supporter on the AEW roster, but he's outspoken about it. Also he fights cans in Bellator, what happens when he gets knocked out as he moves up the opponent food chain?

Hager could be a partner to Jericho on the inaugural show. I'd like to see him reinvent himself a bit and drop the "we the people" stuff - that is his failed WWE character. I'd like a more stoic Dr. Death Steve Williams character - like Dr. Death he played football and wrestled at OU and with his MMA wins Hager can be sold as legit tough guy. Leave the goofiness behind.

 

[Death Rider]

Well hopefully he proves me wrong as I have never been a big fan of him. However he does have a good size to him and is decent in the ring even as someone who has never liked him.

 

[LifeInCattleClass]

I think we all expected him since his Mox comments prior to DoN

He’ll be a good addition. I still think they have Sandow debut with him

He’s been mentioned in connection with Cody a couple of times now

In fact, they might be Y2Js partners?

 

[Master Bate]

Bring in Zeb pls.

 

[Taroostyles]

The thing is though why does he have to necessarily be a trump supporter as a gimmick just cause of his personal political beliefs? I'm not really for or against him as like Morrison hes a guy I've always been luke warm on at best.

Him and Spears paired up together seems like a natural option if he is being brought in.

 

[JRL]

Jack Swagger? I don't care for that guy at all.

 

[AEWMoxley]

Jack Swagger is utter garbage. Nothing to get excited about.

Good heavens I hope not. Sandow has clearly demonstrated that he absolutely sucks in the ring, and he only had one angle that ever got over, which I still think was an accident.

Unless they set him up as OC’s doppelganger.....

He’ll be a good manager / mouthpiece for Swagger?

 

[TwistedLogic]

I find it sad how desperate I am for AEW to do well that I'm trying to build up some excitement for fuckin Jack Swagger of all people.

 

[TD Stinger]

Eh.

Look, Swagger is a legit fighter, wrestler, etc. But outside of one run in 2014 as a face, he's never been anyone that I get excited for. He just doesn't have that entertainment factor, at least not on his own.

And it's not even a WWE thing. He went to Lucha Underground, a show full wacky and wild characters, got a big push, and STILL was a bore. Maybe AEW can tap into something different, but I won't pretend to get excited at the possibility of this.

Not a bad addition if it’s true. He could stand to lose the ‘we the people’ shit, though.

I mean, to be fair, that's like the one thing in his career that he got over.

 

[RapShepard]

I liked Swagger his championship presentation after he won the title was great.

 

[Death Rider]

Yeah as long as he does not wrestle this could work.
