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

[Brandon M.]

yall wanna be writers so bad lmao

dont watch or create ur own show

pretty simple to me

 

[Tres Leches]

Act like wwf didn’t push him as mitb winner, wrestlemania main event, elimination chamber winner, former world champ and nice tag team with Cesáro

 

[Cartier Murphy]

He dwarfs most of the roster in size and star power (as unbelievable as that latter one is). I’m not a fan of his either but he’s upped his value since leaving WWE and you can microwave him with a solid push in front of a new audience pretty believably.

 

[Da_Eggman]

I mean sure.

But Jack Swagger come on man. Why debut him like that? Who cares about him.

Im not even trying to be negative, their show was good. But to end it like that, with a former wwe star, and a shyt one at that, shows their desperation to just have a surprise to make news.


Luger was a big star. Whether yall want to admit or not.

Lugar was a big star in 1988-1990 he was a huge flop in the wwf after a monster push and was in a going no where tag team with the British Bulldog at the time

Swagger had about the same push Lugar got in the E with about the same results but actually had a few runs with the title

 

[Renzo]

Another guy who never should have been world champion. Swagger wishes he was as over as Luger at any point in his career. Guy has zero charisma or personality. Like really AEW..Jack Swagger? Wtf Lol

 

[Champagne Kudo]

Ppl were into it so I can’t really say anything

Swagger has been boring as shyt but he’s also always been a decent to good wrestler. Long as he’s not getting some unwarranted huge singles push I don’t mind it I guess.

The fact you was so ready to make this thread though

Get a life

 

[Bryan Danielson]

In all fairness, with the question of “who cares about him”

The live fans obviously did, cuz they popped for him like he was a huge star

Cody was a fukkin clown 2 years ago...

Was Jack Swagger a fukkin goof in WWE? Of course he was. Doesn't mean he can't be better years later in a different company. He could easily be worse too. He hasn't even done shyt yet

 

[Jmare007]

I agree that closing your debut show on TNT with Jack Swagger after everything else that happened on Dynamite (opening match, Riho, Mox killing Omega, etc.) was underwhelming and a weird choice.

I also agree that running this angle earlier might've felt less "meh". But then again, the live audience seemed to love it

 

[Bryan Danielson]

TNA Kurt Angle>>>WWE Kurt Angle

TNA Bobby Lashley >>>>>>>WWE Bobby Lashley

 

[TBdaGhost]

Debuting him at the end gives him the best shot at success. Debut him as a big deal and if it doesn't work out, it doesn't work out.


If you debut him as mid then nobody's gonna give a fukk about him from jump.

 

[WHolla09]

Maybe it was because I was a kid, but I was hyped for Luger jumping back to WCW. I still had memories of him beating the crap out of Sting. Jack Swagger will always be a mid carder to me. No memorable feuds or matches. Definitely cant compare him to Luger. He also shouldn't be a main event surprise on episode 1. He's definitely an episode 7 kind of guy.

 

[CBoz]

It was predictable and I was waiting for it.

 

[JuvenileHell]

Not as lame as WWE showing off Hogan from what I've heard

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

he debuted as Jericho's muscle. It ain't like they put the main belt on him. Now who would do that?
