WrestleZone’s Top 10: Misused Talent

Number 6: Jack Swagger

Jack Swagger

The “All-American American” was World Heavyweight Champion for a short period of time. In the summer of 2010, Swagger would feud briefly with Randy Orton before becoming involved with The Big Show. Nothing against Show, but this feud was not good because of him. It is so hard for a guy to get over when his in ring moves are limited. Swagger has great timing and an excellent ability to transition his technicality with his power. An overall great talent, Swagger has not seen the main event level since. I scratch my head wondering why. Swagger should never have put that suit on in 2010 and become like every other heel. He needed to be the cocky and arrogant collegiate athlete that all of us have come in contact with. He has a knack for being liked and hated at the same time. A clone of Kurt Angle, Swagger has more size, but not as much personality. He can learn from his previous run and make sure he does not screw it up. Jack Swagger is much better at the nonsense he is involed in now, including a tag team match with Hornswoggle on the opposite side.
