Swagger should get a JBL-like push

[Nic Nemeth]

Where he's an out of nowhere champion who wins the title in a fluke and continues to retain his title despite facing much more credible challengers with help from the All-American American Americans Shelton Benjamin and Dolph Ziggler

[FailedGimmick]

I'd mark.

Do we really need another year long heel reign where the champion is booked as a fluke yet somehow always manages to sneak away with a win? Often with the aid of his stooges? I hated JBL's reign cause of that.

[hajimenoippo]

I hope he gets Abraham Washington as a manager to do all his promos for him, and why not use him as a sort of "Heel Obama" type character.

If we get special announcements like JBL got I'd mark.

Hell let's give the IC title to Dolph so he can be the Cheney to Jack's W.

[BorneAgain]

Some title newcomer is going to get the long title reign. It wasn't Punk. It wasn't Sheamus (though his lasted longer than thought).

Will Swagger be the guy? Hard to say. Depends on whether they want to capitalize on Orton's momentum now or not.

Who's Dolph going to shoot in the face during a hunting trip?

I'd love if JBL returned as Swagger's executive consultant or something like that.

[luiscurse]

So does that make Abraham Washington Colin Powell?

[hajimenoippo]

HEy if he gets Alicia Foxx as his Condaleeza

[Cela]

NO!

Agreed. how about lets give the title to someone actually interesting like MVP?

Here is an idea I am just going to float out there. Have Swagger and his all American Americans Shelton Benjamin and Abe Washington get lucky in holding onto the title for about 5-6 months and then have Swagger actually get better after the 5-6 months and win on his own.

The kid gets really cocky and actually believes his own hype. The fluke wins give him the confidence he needs to be live up to his capabilities.

[Hanz Moleman]

Only if we get another Let's Go Streaking thread out of it.

License to print money right here.

[Kevin Hamilton]

I'd like half of that equation- in that, I want Swagger to have a long heel run.

I can do without the fluky part. A dominant run would be awesome.

[Roo]

Nah, they should give him the Sgt. Slaughter gimmick.

...that is the Sgt Slaughter Iraqi Symapthiser gimmick, natch.

[Schattenjager]

Only if it was done with a Swagg-A-Meter.

I'd say Maria, but their characters broke up and she left the company.
