Does Swagger remind anyone of Brock Lesnar?

[bradtherad]

Now that Swagger is champion (not a spoilers I hope because there is a thread on it), I am reminded about Brock Lesnar and he seems a lot like Brock. I mean as a wrestler. Nobody is like Brock as a fighter since he is the best MMA fighter in the world, but back in his wrestling days, Swagger reminds me most of Lesnar.

Okay, Swagger is not a huge mountain of muscle like Lesnar, but he is still very powerful, he has that country boy look and I think would look better with a haircut.

But I think he can go a long way, but only if WWE pushes him like Lesnar. If WWE acts stupid and makes him a cowardly heel, then they will screw it up, Swagger should be a dominant all powerful monster like Brock.

Anybody else with me?

[Hemmeorrhage]

No.

[salsashark]

No, Brock had a relentlessly vicious air to him. Swagger seems more tongue-in-cheek.

[angryauthor]

No. Brock was legitimately something really special, and was treated as such. Swagger is worth the special offer the cafe down the road does, where I can get two sausage rolls for £1, and should be treated as such, rather than holding a world title win.

[Y2M]

I don't really see it. Lesnar and Sheamus are somewhat similar, Swagger is more similar to Angle in his cockiness and look.

[Allie Kitsune]

No. Brock came off like a nasty bastard who loved to hurt people (because, it turns out, he really WAS a nasty bastard who loves to hurt people). Swagger comes off a slightly-hickified goofball. Those have their place in wrestling, but not as monsters.

He's a bigger, lisping, less socially-refined version of Charlie Haas, IMO.

Brock Lesnar? No.
Biff Tannen? Yes.

Any one of the Gracies.

Just sayin'.

[The Verdict]

god no

[Soultastic]

He looks like the bastard child of Kurt Angle and Biff Tannen. The awesomeness of both these guys is probably one of the reasons I mark for him

[KingPopper]

Angle yes.
Lesnar no.

[imbordisux]

He's pretty much smack-dab in the middle of Brock Lesnar and (early goofball) Kurt Angle.

[The OP]

His look reminds me of Lesnar and Angle, and yes, Biff Tannen, but his in-ring style is actually more like a combination of Scott Steiner and Vader IMO.

[SlimTrip]

Yea.. if Swagger can go back to college and win a national title, gain 50 pounds of muscle, get a flat top, speech classes, and go find Paul Heyman. That's one hell of a to-do list.

[Clash, Never a Meter Maid]

No, and I hope WWE doesn't try to turn him into the "new Lesnar".

I don't mind Swagger dominating people, but his character shouldn't be taken uber-seriously. He needs that "smug douche" element.

Waiting for the Tomko "No" gif

[The Ichi]

Nobody reminds me of Brock Lesnar. That guy was just in a class of his own.

[Mighty Attack Tribble]

Definitely not. Aside from a similar amateur background, I don't see anything remotely similar. Lesnar tuly was one of a kind.

[Turd Ferguson]

He actually reminds me of someone who is the spawn of Edge and Kurt Angle and Brock Lesnar's love child.

Who was taken away from his family and raised by Oklahomans.

Brock Lesnar was a badass. Jack Swagger is a douchebag jock. He is similar to Kurt Angle circa 1999-2000. Sorry for the same analysis.
