The fact that Jack Swagger debuted in AEW shows how lame they are

[Brad Piff]

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).

they'd sign wwe guys if they could
they just haven't been able to
people end up re-signing with wwe instead of joining aew
ambrose had already made his mind up about leaving wwe before aew came into existence

 

[JerseyBoy23]

WWE is signing literally every indie wrestler that breathes and yet AEW signing Swagger, who has a legit fighting background, is a bad thing?

I was hoping this would be the one wrestling forum that didn't get into the AEW vs WWE war.

 

[Breh Obama]

Stop hating. WWE under utilized him.

 

[jadillac]

Only thing is, he needs to changr his Twitter name bv it still says JackSwagger and WeThePeople lol.

But I liked the return. He's bigger than ever. Maybe roids but what do I care. AEW needs a big man. If he can be their low-key Brock and make it entertaining, I'm watching. Hope he wins his next fight

 

[SubZeroDegrees]

I have no problem with Swagger coming out as Jericho enforcer.

 

[Da King]

Trump loving Cac Swagger being defended by the markkks, how predictable

 

[8WON6]

yall really talking yourselves into liking Jake Hager.

 

[Toe Jay Simpson]

If we’re punishing people for WWEs bad booking then no one should be over anywhere else

The man has a legit wrestling background, solid brawler outside of kayfabe, good power move set, good look

Even though WWE messed him up it’s obvious there’s a star there with the right development

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

I can't think of one time Swagger looked as dominant in his entire run in WWE as he did in this night in AEW. Just because you have a push and they give you the belt doesn't mean you can't be booked as a goofy. Do you even watch wrestling? Negged for your ignorance.

 

[Brad Piff]

aew might as well bring in dutch mantel
he's the only reason jack swagger started getting crowd reactions lol

You wished death on someone because you didn't like the booking. You're a weirdo. fukk you and your bloodline.

 

[TheGodling]

I am a strong believer that booking can make and break any talent (see the surprising rise and enormous fall of Jinder Mahal in the span of months) and I think handled correctly they can do Hager right. Hell, they can just look at how he was booked in LU and go from there.

 

[Bob Loblaw]

He’s a former world champ ffs!!!

 

[Beautiful Bobby Eatin]

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.

I agree with the last point and said this earlier in the thread but they were also getting Ambrose over as a lone wolf heel by doing it first so it makes sense. But for conversation what can they actually do that you'll agree with because it comes off as hate for the sake of hate breh.

 

[The Great One]

I didnt know that 90% of this board are Jack Swagger marks.

Like where the fukk were all of you when he was in WWE? No one was a fan then. None of you bought his merch, no one was posting about how much they liked his in ring work?

This is fukking insanity.

And again to me, this is not even about Swagger. He is a servicable hand. But to debut him at the end of your very first show in such a prominent role is just dumb.
