I mean I just started to notice now that literally every one of his promos now is just something about people sneaking across the border, which really has nothing to do with anything in the WWE, nor anyone The Real Americans are feuding with. If he's not going to add anything to these guys, why is he even there?

He does add something to them though. He gets a good amount of heat every time he cuts a promo, and Swagger needs a mouth piece.

You're just getting this now?
It might be a bit better when Los Matadores debut, more relevant, but for a non-American viewer like myself it's all a pointless screed. It has been since a month after his debut.

I think that his promo skills are fairly good, but I will agree that he needs some more (or at least better written) material to spout.

This is basically the same as what people have said about the infamous Jerry Lawler 'fag' promo. There is no point in having a heel be homophobic if he isn't going to eventually lose to a gay guy. Similarly, if the Real Americans are not feuding with some immigrants to eventually put them over, Colter's ranting is rendered absolutely pointless.

Since Swagger's current character is a member of the Tea Party, Zeb reflects those views and opinions in his diatribes. As Swags and Cesaro's manager, he helps get them heat by talking them up to the crowd and interacting with the audience so they react to what is happening in the ring. He adds color to their act.

Maybe they're just getting scared.
In the old days of 'rasslin, a Zeb character would've had all sorts of lovely things to say about other nations, political standpoints, minorities, women, etc. The heat could've been downright dangerous.
He might feel tacked on at times, but his presence doesn't offend me.
Swagger was crusty stale before this happened. I just keep that in the back of my mind as this thing moseys to it's end.

His promos for longest time have nothing to do with anything Swagger or Cesaro are doing on TV.
I'd say that Make a Wish/Be a Star clips are more relevant to WWE storylines than Zeb's random xenophobic promos. At least they show good guys doing good things. Zeb is just talking off topic and is followed by Swagger losing to RVD or someone like that.

It's the only way for Swagger to get a reaction when a mic is in someone's hands.

There is no point. It's all sour grapes over Linda not winning her election.

I liked him but what i dont like is the fact that he never interferes like traditional managers do, he just stands outside of the ring when they are about to lose and just watches his guys get pinned. At least have im thrown out of a match or two, or have him screw another team over.

There was never an endgame after the Del Rio feud went up in smoke.

Zeb should came out and say "We only eat American Hot Dogs with American Fries. Frankfurters and French Fries are for them dirty Europeans!" Cesaro looks at him with a highly questionable face. "Oh not you," Zeb calmly says, "you're cool!"

I'm hoping he becomes relevant once again when The Matadores debut.

I'm just waiting for Cesaro to bust out the UFO, turning him face in the process.

To talk for Swagger and Cesaro whenever they get involved in a real feud. To be honest, both Swagger and Cesaro have talked well enough in the past. Swagger, especially, has gotten heat on his own. I don't they need Zeb, especially since when the bell rings people tend to forget the racist old man anyway. He's a neat addition to the Real Americans but not essential right now at least.
