7 Wrestlers Who Should Quit WWE
7. Jack Swagger
It's not every day that a former World Heavyweight Champion walks out of WWE, but the company's done a great job of making fans forget that Jack Swagger holds that distinction.
All-American wrestler Swagger was recruited out of college by WWE and, after a couple of years in developmental, he hit the main roster. Despite not having the out-and-out charisma of most top WWE guys, he showed an acuity in the ring, using an amateur-pro hybrid style that lent itself to solid matches.
Less than a year and a half later, he defeated Chris Jericho for the World Heavyweight Title.
Unfortunately, Swagger was one of the worst-booked champions of all-time, and after losing the title his career went into a free fall (apart from a brief push in 2013). His Raw and Smackdown appearances are few and far between, but he still manages to deliver the goods.
Swagger could thrive in a different environment, one where his amateur wrestling accomplishments would be taken more seriously. He could be a monster heel in Ring of Honor, or a serious threat in any of Japan's major promotions. It wouldn't take Swagger long to prove that he's not the joke WWE makes him out to be.
