According to Dave Meltzer at F4Wonline.com..
Jack Swagger is currently taking time off TV because they are re-packaging him.
How do you see Swagger being changed going forward? What new gimmick could they give him? Perhaps he is the mystery face being put into Team Foley at Survivor Series? Maybe he's being given Val Venis's old gimmick!

Pro-American face to feud with Cesaro hopefully. If Cesaro is going to be the hated European heel, then he needs to feud with someone patriotic and not R-Truth.

I wish they would pack him up and ship him back to FCW or the indies.

Ugh.... what does it even matter; he'll drop it in a few weeks time, be back to doing push ups and pounding his chest; then back to not being on TV.

Gonna be hard to "repackage" a guy who's been around as long as he has...
Drop the All-American BS and bring him back as a pure wrestling talent. Turn him into a submission specialist and get him a new theme.
Swagger has a lot of talent, and should have been elevated to regular main event status when he won the WHC, shame how they let him fall so far.

Went from Defending the World title against Taker in a Hell in a Cell to Pre-Show against Truth. |

I just hope they give him something good. The guy had so much potential & then got squashed like a bug.

Yeah they gave us no reason to like him, and made him look like a chump as WHC. I legit thought he would've been great at WHC until a few weeks in and I saw what direction it was going...

I want to see him in a Varsity Club type of tag team. After I read this the first names that came to mind were Jack Swagger and Alex Riley. New stable perhaps? |

He needs to not talk, drop the stupid singlet and go to shorts, buzz cut or something more serious and have Heyman be his manager and kick the crap out of people.

He's garbage. Not an once of talent or excitement in his entire body. It's a shame really. I had high hopes for him back when he was Jake Hager.

Riley could go back to being the cool kid jock. Swagger as the slightly dumb meat-head. Add another member and maybe a "Coach" type gimmick manager and we have ourselves a winning combo! |

I think Jack Swagger has possibilities, although it will take time to dig him out of the hole they buried him in.
Yes, he needs mic skill work..but his physique and ring skills are solid.
If I were booking him, I'd put him in a mask and costume and make him something over the top like Kane, but ruthless to the point that he brutalizes AALL of his opponents, similar to Ryback. After months of doing this, he comes out on Raw, removes his mask and denounces the character, telling the world that he has been this destructive wrestling machine from the beginning, but was held back by stupid gimmicks, politics and gimmicks. His reign of victory proves he is the best wrestler on the roster and he demands a title shot. By that time he has victories under his belt and can be used like Brock or Ryback, saying little and focusing on his physical attributes.
This keeps him with the company, creating a new character that sells action figures and intrigues kids, while allowing him to develop in the areas he needs to. Plus, it gives the "peek behind the curtain" approach that many Attitude Era & Punk fans like as well.
If they can make something out of Santino, they can make something more out of Jack.
Just my thoughts.
