Jack Swagger Wins World Heavyweight Championship

Last night on Smackdown Jack Swagger cashed in his Money in the Bank Briefcase and took advantage of a spear from Edge to Chris Jericho to capture for the World Heavyweight Championship. I believe this might be the shortest amount of time someone had that briefcase. Jack Swagger is a former All-American wrestler for the University of Oklahoma. He set the record for most pins in a single season with an astonishing 30. He made his pro wrestling debut on September 7, 2006 and since then he has moved up the ranks rather quickly. He has already won the ECW Championship and feuded with Matt Hardy, Tommy Dreamer, and Christian. When he moved to Raw last year he feuded with MVP and Kofi Kingston. Jack Swagger calls himself the All American, American and his amatuer wrestling roots have carried him to his first World Heavyweight Championship. It’s ironic he’s now wearing red, white and blue because I really think WWE is trying to turn Swagger into the next Kurt Angle. Kurt had a amatuer wrestling background and he still has an intensity about him that no one else has. Swagger has that unheard of intensity where you really can’t describe it.

A lot of critics say that Jack Swagger doesn’t have any personality but in the two hours of Smackdown last night, he developed a lot of personality with cockiness and better then anyone else attitude. I think he’s a cross between Kurt Angle and Ken Anderson who ironically are feuding in TNA right now. It’s about time that newer guys like Swagger, Miz, Sheamus are getting the spotlight put on them. The days of Triple H, Chris Jericho, Undertaker, and others of being champion are slowly coming to an end. Swagger is only 28 years old and I don’t think he’s even hit his prime yet. I think Jack Swagger is going to be to the next great superstar. He’s the All American, American and now he’s the new WWE World Heavyweight Champion. Congratulations to Jack Swagger on his title win.
