Your right. The man is a damn good wrestler. His lisp is an excuse for the haters why he should be champ. But for the ones who say it maybe too soon for him to win it, I see their point. Weather I agree or not, Its a valid point. And the lovers and the bandwagon fans just must automatically have selective hearing when he speaks then, right? I mean, come on....I'll own up to exaggerating it, if you'll....even ONE OF YOU GUYS....will own up to it being very, VERY prominent when he speaks. I bet not ONE of you will. ;D And you know...it's not a crippling thing. It's not. But after SO many past champions at least being able to pronounce their "s"'s and speak CLEARLY.....it DOES stand out, and it draws attention to him in a NEGATIVE way. It would be akin to having a champion that spoke like Elmer Fudd, and had nothing to cover that up with. I know Robbymac is going to bring up Dusty there...but even THEN, the "Dweem" was just so larger than life as a character that you could focus on other things and NOT his ridiculous accent, his lisp, or his trouble pronouncing "r"'s. And besides....that was sort of the point of the Dusty character. He was a common man, with common faults and a very common way of speaking. He was supposed to contradict Flair in every way. Swagger? It's just laughable when this big pale gorrilla sits there and mean mugs the camera and then (much like Lashley) he speaks and the entire illusion of badassery is ruined. It doesn't help that a LOT of the main event talent he may be facing have names with the letter "S" in them, or "S" sounds in them. Like I said, I'll own up to exaggerating it, if even ONE of the Swagger flock will admit that it's there and it is NOTICEABLE. It's there, and it's noticeable. (its also supposed to be) Now its your turn.

He's not NEARLY close to being the love child of Sylvester the Cat and Daffy Duck like I make him out to be. However, if what you say is true, I wonder if the WWE will work with him to reduce it, if they plan on giving him a SRS makeover?

I'm all for pushing new guys - why not Swagger? great athlete, had some really good matches (vs. Christian or Cena), young, hungry, not that bad on the mic as some of the smarks here make it out to be

SRS Swagger look is awesome. The Team Angle styled Singlet is awesome as are the star knee pads.
THe guy looks awesome, now if Only he could feud with Kurt Angle in A WWE ring.

Rorschach, buddy. I'm not saying his lisp isn't noticeable, but its not like its so bad that his career will suffer because of it.
Its not a contest here. You think its a hindrance to him, and I and some others don't. Fair dues.
