I don't see Jack Swagger leaving the world title picture just yet. He may not be number one contender but I think he'll get a shot soon.

I like Swagger. He reminds me of Kurt Angle lite. He's a fine technical talent and a is a huge dude. He sucks on interviews and his lisp is unbearable.
I like the pairing of him and Coulter but I think their gimmick has run its course.
Speaking of Del Rio, I think a series with him and Sin Cara would be a lot of fun.

I swear Del Rio has it written in his contract that he gets a title shot once a year. 2010- WHC 2011- WHC/WWE 2012- WWE 2013- WHC
It's rather irritating seeing him in there, but I do hate Del Rio as much as I hate Miz and Orton, heel or face.

Never liked Swagger, he always seemed to look like Dean Douglas's handicapped cousin with a rip off Kurt Angle gimmick.
No idea why they handed him the Title (same with Miz).
I can't really see him going anywhere at all, maybe have a tour in Japan or something (though no would probably like that either), I think Colter was the only reason for any of Swaggers reaction so I guess he may have to go. He just doesn't add anything to the table.

Something with either Orton or Christian would be nice. I really enjoyed Swagger/Orton last week.

No one takes him seriously because he lost 90% of his matches before being paired up with Zeb. He wasn't built up nearly enough before being thrown into the title picture for Mania. I felt like he literally came out of nowhere.
Swagger would be much better off just being portrayed as a wrestling machine, being intense and never talking.

Have him go after the United States Title, and it could be because he's a real American and Kofi isn't. It could be that simple. It gives Swagger, Kofi, and the US title something to do. You DO know what happened at Extreme Rules,right? I don't know why, but I feel like Im forgetting something.

I liked the old Jack Swagger. I liked the cocky douchebag who pounded his chest, did pushups and did victory laps around the ring.

Swagger didn't do himself any favours getting busted for DUI & weed, that's probably a factor & him losing a lot lately.
And I think Del Rio is very talented, he plays the face role extremely well in my opinion.

I think it's about time to just release him. So much potential, but he's never fulfilled it and there have been so many attempts now that he's damaged goods. He's huge but usually doesn't seem it (hence Mattel making his figures short for years), and his in-ring game has never really improved since he started. He's never found a character that has fully clicked, and he's not brimming with personality. He's kind of a bigger Shelton Benjamin - amateur standout who had a lot of the necessary tools but never really got pro wrestling. Swagger would be much better off just being portrayed as a wrestling machine, being intense and never talking. Ugh. No he wouldn't. He'd be even duller then.

I've never once found anything appealing about him. He has zero charisma and I think his in-ring skills are incredibly overrated. I don't think he's that great of a wrestler. Personally, I think he should've without a doubt been suspended after his DUI/weed arrest and it set a wrong message letting him go unpunished and actually letting him compete in a title match at Wrestlemania. When RVD got busted for the same thing he was suspended and forced to drop his title immediately.
I hope Swagger floats around the mid-card scene until he eventually gets released. The whole "Anti Establishment/Real American" gimmick has been done before and never appealed to me once throughout his entire feud with Del Rio.

Well, Bryan just made his ass tap out on SmackDown so I don't see him going anywhere in the near future. Hopefully Bryan takes his spot.
Throw him back in the mid-card for a while to bring some star power.
