Genuinely could you buy him as a face say against Kozlov or Henry if he's still on ECW?
I don't know how you'd work Henry vs Swagger but Kozlov vs Swagger could be a good match.
There's only really Christian for him to feud with as a heel at the moment.
Unless Morrison turns face there is serious lack of competition.
Hopefully the draft changes this tomorrow.

If he was teaming with a heel and the heel cost him the match (i.e. leaving when about to be tagged in,) than MAYBE...

A jock asshole can make a good hero if they made it ironic. That's the same way I want them to turn John Morrison...basically, give him a likable self-centeredness. Make the fans enjoy how full of himself he is.

Yes, Swagger can be a face.
If Lesnar can be a face, Swagger can.

Yes, Swagger can be a face. If Lesnar can be a face, Swagger can. There's something likeable about him. His mic work isn't too bad either. Have him feud with Vlad and it won't take much for the crowd to get on his side. |

Cool heels gotta keep that cool-factor when they become faces. |

I can see Kozlov as a more believabe face, personally. Swagger just seems thoroughly unpleasant and obnoxious. Perfect heel material.
Morrison at least seems to have the requisite charisma to pull off the arrogant face character. I'm not sure yet that Swagger does.

I don't see anything likeable about Kozlov, except that he is a machine full of severely pulled punches/moves. The Raw audience begs to differ on Swagger. I can see him as a newer Kurt Angle, the fans buy it. |

Cool heels gotta keep that cool-factor when they become faces. For some reason, WWE is loathe to do this "Austin" type face turn where the mannerisms don't change much. Upon turning face they like to horribly dumb down what made the heel a popular choice to turn face to begin with. Carlito immediately comes to mind. Kennedy is a more recent example. MVP looks like he could be an early dud in the near future as well for the same reason, since his character is all but lost without anything much replacing it. |

in 1995 sure, not so sure nowadays. Nobody likes the smiling, happy, and good looking All-American...American.
Just feud him with Kozlov, though and he'd be an instaface

While he is not in the same class as the Rock, he could probably get away with a similar character as him. Taking the arrogance of the Rock and mix it with the intensity that Angle or Lesnar had and you would have a pretty solid face, I think.

I think so, a massive genuine face after a long era as a heel. Establish himself completely and I think he'd become some sort of in between guy

He can feud with Dreamer after Christian and then Bourne through the summer after that, possibly Helms after that so no need to turn him face just yet I think.

Make the fans enjoy how full of himself he is. Kind of like the Rock. Except they'd do it more like cena and make him a smiling, happy, kid-friendly babyface, and strip him of all of the things that got him over in the frist place. |
