Self Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Is Swagger any good? I mean I now officially hate him for beating my boy Hardy, but I haven't seen ECW in ages, so... Is he a Brock or a Koslov? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GDE71 Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Swagger isn't bad in my opinion. Too bad I won't be able to watch him win it as I have to dvr 2 other things and will be watching something else on the other TV. Maybe just maybe the game will be at halftime when the main event is on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darthsiddus2 Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 they are making him seem like another Kurt Angle. I'm watching his match with Dreamer now and that's how i see it. if that were santioned by an athletic commision, Swagger would have points deducted for trash talking, pausing, and probably would have been disqualified at one point. but this is the WWE we're talking about.

infinitywpi Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 I look at it this way: The only reason to do the title switch now instead of on PPV is because they want Hardy to play a role in the Royal Rumble somehow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tha Black Phenom Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 I would've opted for Matt to win the Rumble, but they got so little build-up to do it now. Unless hopefully they pull a "dark horse" win with him which they really need to do sometime. I haven't seen much of Swagger, but.. I hope this reign works out well. Thing is, he'll need a solid competitor or else I don't see an ECW title match occurring at Mania(that is unless he loses it again 'till then, and that would make another short ECW reign). Meh, even if they do get a solid match-up, it'd be the opening match or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CQI13 Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 I saw him recently at a house show, fighting with Hardy. Very enjoyable match. Decent crowd reaction (probably also due to the fact he was fighting Hardy), but he's not bad in ring and can work the crowd pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UkWrestleFan Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 How about this... Hardy wins the Rumble. They do the whole teasing thing about which champ he'll face and he chooses Jeff. Wrestlemania. Brother vs Brother for the WWE Title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodsmeister Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 I think he will drop it to Finlay soon, he is just a short term champion IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cappyboy Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 How about this... Hardy wins the Rumble. They do the whole teasing thing about which champ he'll face and he chooses Jeff. Wrestlemania. Brother vs Brother for the WWE Title. Not sure I really like that idea. Didn't really care for the family divided by gold thing with Bret and Davey Boy and that would seem to be where this would have to go. What seems like it would be a more entertaining move would be for Jeff's misfortune over the last year to catch up with him. Between the fire and the worked spill down the stairs and the car wreck, jeff's dodged a lot of bullets lately. The next one gets him on the verge of a championship match. So someone needs to step up in Jeff's place. Enter Matt seeking to win the title in his brother's honor. Matt pulls the upset against Trips or whoever the dominant champ is. Meanwhile as Matt holds the belt, Jeff finds out who's been the cause of his on screen troubles (I'd guess Edge for sake of ease.) and deals with them. Then Matt fumbles the belt and Jeff can take his spot back. The raw emotionality of Matt backing up his beleaguered brother could be a compelling title story arc. Plus since they have already played up the first brother tandem to be world champs simultaneously, it seems like the next step would be the first brothers to have both held the same world title. Pretty sure that's never happened at the marquee level either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UkWrestleFan Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Maybe Matt will move to Smackdown and they'll re-ignite the Edge & Christian/Hardy Boyz feud? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justtxyank Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Not sure I really like that idea. Didn't really care for the family divided by gold thing with Bret and Davey Boy and that would seem to be where this would have to go. I did, but since neither Matt nor Jeff could lace up the boots of either of those two (at the time), it doesn't have nearly the appeal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tha Black Phenom Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 I figured Matt could well challenge for the WWE title on Raw, and having some sort of "WrestleMania 25 belongs to the Hardys" kind of thing, where both brothers challenge for both World titles. I had that thought in mind for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
