There's really nothing wrong with Jack Swagger as a professional wrestler. He's an athletic guy that's about 6'5" that has a wrestling background and brings a lot of credibility to the table. When he won the Money in the Bank match at WrestleMania 26 a lot of people were surprised. After he held the briefcase, the thinking was he would be the first MITB holder to lose when he tried to cashed in. Nope. He won. Swagger cashed in on Chris Jericho after Jericho was attacked during the Smackdown taping two days after WrestleMania 26 in 2010. That's the way most people expected him to win because the thought of him beating somebody for a major title like that just didn't seem right. Swagger's title reign lasted 84 days. Something that I'll never forget during his run as World Champion is that his win loss record was 5-12 during that period. Wins and losses shouldn't matter much in wrestling, but when you are the champion they do. Why should fans believe in a guy when he loses so much? They actually booked him clean over Randy Orton at Extreme Rules 2010 and nobody cared because Swagger was booked like a loser before it. During Swagger's reign, there were all these reports about how he wasn't getting good reactions. That's because he was booked so poorly. He ended up dropping losing the World Title to Rey Mysterio at the June 2010 Fatal 4 Way show in what was a triple threat that included Big Show and CM Punk.
