No. I hope he's fired or at the very least spends the rest of the year jobbing to Zack Ryder and Santino on Saturday Morning Slam. Hahahaha! This.

I forsee the following : Zeb goads Swagger into giving up his title match at mania for an early shot on Raw. Swagger loses, makes anti-Hispanic rant, Vickie Guerrero takes offense and suspends/fires him. New #1 contender match made for SmackDown. this is 100% what will happen Not if Zeb is 'done' with Swagger as a previous poster claims he said on twitter?

This is just plain dumb on his part.
A few months ago he absolutely sucked. The WWE repackaged him (ever so slightly) and it finally seemed like it was working for him. A win at EC and a Title match on the biggest stage of them all.
Then he goes and does something stupid like this and blows it all. I hope the person who fills his boots at Mania has more sense.

They shouldn't have pushed him in the first place he doesn't deserve it. They should've pushed someone like Christian instead.

This doesn't boil down to any kind of moral assessment of Swagger, I could personally care less that he was in possession of marijuana. What I take issue with is how incredibly boneheaded of a move it was on his part. If I was told that I could make a great paycheck doing what I loved and all I had to do was follow a few simple rules, I'd damn well do it, especially seeing the track record of all the guys in WWE in the last decade who had to drop belts and lose pushes for violating them.

No, not still pulling for Swagger. It was a dumb move on his part and I was already bracing for the lazy, race-baiting set-up of Del Rio vs. Swagger anyway. I'm all for Ziggler getting the shot as he and Del Rio should be able to put on a good match.
poindizzle, what is your signature?

I've been getting questions about it ever since I added it. I'm not sure what movie it's supposed to be, possibly a film from Ghana. When you have a chance, google Ghana Movie Posters. They paint these one of a kind posters, usually on burlap sacks, and half the time the artist has obviously never seen the movie. I found out about these, and spent at least an hour searching through them and having a good gut laugh. You can buy them on Ebay as well, but they are $200 and up. Almost worth it since they are one of a kind.

Wow. I had no idea that this happened. Personally I like Swagger. Several months ago, he had a match against CM Punk on RAW and it was one of the best matches I have seen in a long time. Even Jerry Lawler threw out a "Wow, what a really good match" comment as if he were in disbelife of such a thing. So given the right opponent, he can hang.
However, like others have said RVD got completely shafted for his incident, and it wouldn't be fair to give Swagger accomodations for his. I'll be the first to admit that I like toking up as much as the next guy, but since I started my own path on a career in Professional Wrestling I haven't looked back at the stuff. My dream is to be a WWE superstar and in order to see that through you have to think on their terms in order to be successful, even though I am no where close to that.
Swagger was out of several months, now given a push, and this is how he repays them when there are other stars who are just looking to be noticed. Sorry but he did break the law and WWE has a image that they want to protect. I can see them keeping him around to close the current angle (which was a very edgy one given today's PC issues) and then they'll fill in his spot with someone who knows how to conduct themselves for the benifit of the company.
As far as figures go, We'll be lucky to get one after this whole ordeal, but like how other's figures have been replaced due to lack of TV time... enjoy getting another Rey.

Maybe the cops didn't realize Swagger had a lisp, and that's why he failed his Field Sobriety Test.......

I hope he gets the RVD treatment. Man was I disappointed when that happened right in the middle of the biggest push he ever got in his life. I blame that incident for the downfall of the new ECW. Swagger is a great wrestler, but a horrible character who can't speak for himself.

Swagger is pretty good. Sorry, everybody was saying he sucks, I feel differently. He talks with a lisp and can't cut promos for sh% t. That's why they had Mr. Old Fart as his mouth piece. Only thing good about Swag is he's an actual wrestler.

This is where the issue of person vs persona comes into play and it's a tough call for me.
As I've said before, he has size, strength, ability and needs promo work but can be made into a string heel with the right push and work ethic.
Getting arrested for DWI and drug possession does not demonstrate a solid work ethic in my opinion. I really Jack, but if WWE stops the push it hurts the storylines thus far and potentially screws up Wrestlemania.
Personally, I'd keep the plans going and fine him severely. Pay him 50% of WM pay. Make an example without hurting the company.

WWE just uploaded 3 pretty controversial videos to the wethepeoplezeb YT account. I loved them all lol. Maybe a good sign for Swag?

Personally, I don't think marijuana is a big deal. I still like the guy. I thought that was only a fine in WWE anyway? If WWE didn't make him take a piss/swab test then it might be too late to test him now.
