:
Lugar was bum status when he switched
Lex Luger was doing jobs to Men on a Mission before he jumped to WCW

sure WWF had him on some bullchit when he left, but he was still a huge name.

and yall gotta understand, he wasnt a WWF guy to begin with. he was a WCW legend already and a household wrestling name before vince stole him.

luger popping back up in WCW after his sheisty exit was CRAZY.
then add the fact that it was the 1st nitro, and he showed up during a sting match on top of that, picking back up where they left off.

:ohlawd:

but why are people acting like swagger is a nobody??

I don't think that highly of the guy but are we gonna act like he wasn't a world champion in the WWE??

…….and hes technically still the reigning lucha underground champion.

If they planning on eventually pushing him as a main guy then of course you debut him as a main guy.

If his MMA Bellator shyt pops off and if he wins all the way to the HW title:ld:, if he does that then sky's the limit for him in AEW. He'll be a top guy and "star" by default. But boooooy if he gets his ass kicked in that cage ot might hurt his stock in both companies....risky, risky move, i personally admire the bro for trying to do both.

Probably the only low point of the show (besides Nyla Rose's sloppy work). However, crowds still like him for some reason. :gucci: I've never gotten the appeal. Maybe it's that "We The People" chant. :yeshrug:

That's because TNA went out of their way to sign every WWE castoffs they could and proceeded to book them in the dumbest ways possible (except Christian and Angle).

WWE signs every hot indy talent for the last decade and effectively makes them a cog in the machine with booking (they even tried cooling down AJ).

AEW, which just had their first show 12 hours ago mind you, signs Shawn Spears and Jake Hager for mid card feuds and makes them actually look like something.

I really dont get what your asking for here. If the Elite went over everyone theyll get called marks for themselves. When they sign virtually unknown talent they're looked as irrelevant and doomed to fail. They sign some recognizable faces for midcard spots and they dumb for seeing value? What exactly ARE they supposed to be doing breh?

Debuting this guy at the end of the your show and act like he is a big star brehs.

Was embarrassing.

I dont even hate Swagger like that. So if he showed up at like 830 or 9 then cool, but to make him come out at the end like he is a somebody is a fukking joke.
Are you serious? Bruh they made Jack look like a monster. I was surprised that was the same lame goofy Jack Swagger in WWE. This just showed that Vince needs to be put to sleep.

I am tired of this they just had their show give them a break shyt.

They have had like 6 months to plan this out. You only get 1 oppurtunity to impress with shyt like this. This is a nationally televised show in prime time. All of these months of specualtion and yoi end the biggest show of your life with the debut of Jack Swagger like its a big deal. Like he hasnt been in indies for months, and Lucha and all that shyt. Like who cares. He is probably the worst WORST world champ ever, cant cut promos with his lisp, and couldnt produce with mega pushes.

Would have been much better to end with Ambrose and Omega and a hot angle. Not debuting guys who are castoffs.

Swagger even when he was tailing off at the end of his run in WWE still got pops. And stop with he revisionist history on Luger. Outside 97 he was always mid at best, especially if Flair wasn't carrying him. People acting like he wasn't the Reigns of his time period. Swagger will be fine. And he's a solid wrestler which Luger never was

Put to sleep? You're a weirdo. Swagger had a top card run and was champion.
