10 Best Moments Featuring WWE’s Newly Released Stars
9. Zeb Colter Promises To Fix America
Although the anti-immigrant schtick was a tad distasteful, Zeb Colter's management of Jack Swagger provided some world-class promo material.
Their portrayal of two conservative Americans mimicked the views of most of southern America, sparking a seldom seen wrestling-related political debate. Further than just being a WWE angle, Colter and Swagger's characters garnered criticism from wider media, particularly Fox News, for demonizing the Tea Party movement.
With all political connections aside, the gimmick offered a fresh take on the tired anti-America approach - a staple heel gimmick in years gone by - by turning it on its head to make Americans look like the bad guys for once.
As Swagger clearly lacked the verbal skills for such a difficult role, Zeb Colter stepped up to the plate with some incredible promos, particularly his promise to fix all that is wrong with America.
