Real Americans Face Turn Appreciation

[Deleted]

Not only did they get a huge pop, Swagger got his own chznt so it wasn't just as if it was a USA thing.  I hope it continues.

I was surprised that Rusev looked like a midget compared to Swagger. But AMERICA f*** YEAH

[FinalGwen]

So now it's the battle between the Russian xenophobe and the American xenophobe. I'm... Not sure if this is a positive development.

I love how after all of that, the months of build to Cesaro leaving the Real Americans... Swagger's somehow the face getting cheered like crazy while people are presently chanting random nonsense during Cesaro's match.

[SEAN CARLESS]

My money's on the big guy with the polarizing xenophobic extremist belief system, whose manager is really the star of their act! Ahem.

[MGH]

Swagger is dead to me, but long live the Freedom Defender ZEB!

[Hobby Drifter]

Are you kidding me? This is like an Onion article.

Ya know, I agree with the general confusion and think the whole thing's kind of crazy, but has Swagger ever been a face? Much like ADR, I think we all might have been apathetic to this guy because he sucks a fat dick, as a heel, and might work great as a face.

Strong sidebar, I miss face Del Rio, you can just tell that, despite booking, he works so much better in that role.

[Ryback on a Pole!]

I think Swagger will make a good face. There's always been something likeable about the big, cuddly doofus.

Rather than build Rusev up for the inevitable "can Cena overcome the odds? Yes he can and Rusev is sent to jobberville before becoming a comedy dancing face teaming with Santino" storyline, Swagger should get the first win over him. Try and get Swagger over as a face instead.

That got me hype about Swagger and the last time I was hype was when he was with Cesaro.

Zeb's mustache is the winner of this feud.

I'm right there with you. I find the Real Americans gimmick very entertaining, but them being presented as someone we're supposed to cheer for, despite them seemingly not remorseful for their actions, makes me uncomfortable.

It's mixed feelings though, because I am a huge Swagger mark, and hearing the fans chant for him was awesome.

At least Swagger is xenophobic against foreigners to a country he actually comes from? So at least he has some kind of logical consistency going for him?

[Instant Classic]

It's been a long time coming. I can't wait to see what Swagger can do as a face.

Rusev's not a xenophobe. He gives zero f***s.

[mrbananagrabber]

It'll be interesting to see how they turn the racist xenophobic characters of Zen and Swagger (Zen moreso) into faces.

[Dub H]

When they chanted "Lets go Swagger" a smile appeared on my face and i happily placed the hand over my chest and said"...we the people"

[Tiger Millionaire]

Back in the day I saw a dictatorial drill sergeant became a huge face over similar circumstances.

[MolotovMocktail]

I actually thought a Swagger face turn has been a long time coming. I just hope he gets some more Americana-inspired singlets, a la Angle.

[Oh Cry Me a Screwball]

Who would have thought that Swagger would turn face before Cesaro back when they started splitting the Real Americans?
