10. Retooling Jack Swagger

Jack Swagger was last considered a top main event prospect in 2010.

He was part of the "He's great because we've been starved of actual main event-level talent for years and will only realise that he isn't great in the years to come" late 2000s generation. He had a cracking match by the standards of the time with Rey Mysterio at Money In The Bank 2010, and the Real Americans (Swagger and the Switzerland born and raised Cesaro) were a fun team, but Jack Swagger was a very capable amateur wrestler who wore Kurt Angle's singlet. The comparison was only ever superficial.

Not according to a Reddit poster however, who had an idea to 'Retool' Jack Swagger.

Swagger was set to be the man to dethrone United States champion Rusev and restore the honour of America. He was to do this by revealing, at Tribute To The Troops, that he was going to wrestle under his real name of Jake Hager and incorporate Angle's 'Patriot' as his theme in a training video. This isn't too demented, at least until you get to the best bit. An incredible aside.

"Out walks Jake Hager with new attire (and possibly a buzzcut)."

Possibly a buzzcut!

Fantastic. He needed a buzzcut just in case it wasn't obvious enough that he didn't like the forrins.

Which Reddit user pitched Jack Swagger to get such a big push: Jim R?

No, that's too obvious. For privacy's sake, let's call him J Ross.
