12 Perfect Ways To Retire Current WWE Gimmicks (And How)
9. Jack Swagger
Ex-World Heavyweight Champion Jack Swagger is a talented guy who was unfortunately paired with approximately 7,000 year (I'm joking, lol) territory veteran Dutch Mantel and Cesaro (aka one of the world's best wrestlers) and thus overshadowed into complete WWE obscurity. His "Real American" gimmick was great, it's just that Zeb Colter was greater at getting it over than Swagger was at getting heat with it in the ring. Sending Swagger back down to NXT perhaps in the headgear and singlet would be cool. Swagger with developing tag team of Chad Gable and Jason Jordan is a formidable stable that could be developed into something truly great on the black and gold brand.
