10 Wrestling Facts We Didn't Know Last Week (April 6)
9. Jack Swagger Was Disappointed By The Reaction To His 'Mania 29 Match
On 11 May in Chicago, Jack Swagger will go one-on-one with Alberto El Patron for Warrior Wrestling. A mere five years ago, the same duo were working for the old World Heavyweight Title at WrestleMania 29 in front of 80,000+.
According to Swagger's comments during an interview with WrestleZone Radio, the comedown in crowd won't compare to how disappointed he felt during his 'Mania match.
Before going through the curtain, both Swagger and Alberto were determined to make the most of their 10 minutes in the ring and work a match they'd be proud of. Despite trying hard to get the live crowd in New Jersey on side though, Swagger found himself growing disheartened with each passing minute.
The crowd, who were anticipating matches like The Undertaker vs. CM Punk, Triple H vs. Brock Lesnar and John Cena vs. The Rock, just wouldn't play ball with either man. To this day, Swagger wishes people would give it more credit and show it "more love".
