Also surprisingly there was no In-Crowd this week.
Hope Swagger somehow wins by DQ/Count-out and gets a title match at the Rumble!

If only he made his debut in 2002. Then he could have tried to be the Undithputed Champion.

Guess someone figured that having them wrestle twice in one live show (remember, ECW is now taped before Raw) was overkill. They did it with Matt Hardy last week, and the reaction for his Raw match was lackluster. |

I thought he wrestled a great match on ECW vs. Finlay. He was consistent in working Finlay's left arm. His selling was good, and he even had to fight off a cheating attempt from Hornswaggle (I loved when he threw him into the barrier).

I love watching him wrestle. He's got the look and style of an old-school power guy. I makr for him even though he does have a lithp and diabeteth.

I saw his last dark match before he debuted on ECW and I didn't think much of him. Shows how much I know.

He's seems to be coming along nicely. However, I don't know what it is about him, I just can't appreciate him. I have this feeling that he's only where he is in ECW because they have a very small roster..
Maybe I just haven't seen enough of his matches, I have missed the last few weeks of ECW..or at least the portions that have showcased Mr. Swagger.

ECW has the best rookie (Swagger), the best big man (Mark Henry), and the best commentary team in WWE today.

Another thing that I like about him is that he's not another generic cookie-cutter Orton clone, like we've seen from Cody Rhodes or Ted DiBiase. He's not particularly ripped or cut, he doesn't have a bunch of tattoos, and he doesn't have that forced "argh, I'm serious, grr" face that you see on everyone else.

I could envision a Brock Lesnar-type situation for Swagger, in which he eventually gets turned face by the crowd because they like watching him destroy people.

That was a good match with Finlay. I liked that it was 15 minutes showing he could go for a while

I like Swagger, hopefully he has a Lashley vs Finlay style feud with him. That feud was great and working with Finlay week after week will only improve Swagger.

ECW has the best rookie (Swagger), the best big man (Mark Henry), and the best commentary team in WWE today. VINTAGE COLE BURIAL! But seriously, Swagger is a star in the making. I agree, he has that old school AWA/UWF type feel. Then again, he is a BOOMER SOONER! |

I just think it's funny that the All American American comes out to music that sounds like a remix'd Rage Against The Machine track, if it is Rage, that's funny.

Oh, i also enjoy Jack Swagger in the ring. After watching these AWA marathons recentley, a guy like Swagger is just what the E needs IMO. Hopefully he can bring some prestige to the ECW title.
