This is such a BAD decision, these writers HAVE to have an IQ in the single digits. Not only are they taking all the steam away from Jericho's WrestleMania win, they're taking away the Edge/Jericho title rematches(MONEY matches) and giving it to some schmuck who: A) Shouldn't be anywhere NEAR a World Title B) Was jobbing to Santino in January C) Has NO momentum. He was owned by Orton AND Cena on Monday D) Who hasn't been around long enough and hasn't done anything of note what so ever since is ECW run. These writers are stupid as all hell. Its like they're TRYING to up the product. Idiots This better be an early April Fools Joke.

im not a swagger fan. but i like it...when i was watching Nitro back in the day.i wanted so badly to have someone get a tommy rich style world title win..I was rooting for Billy Kidman or Raven back then...This kinda plays into what i wanted...I like it...I think it woulda been more awesome if they did it at a house show....like the old days..."lets go to the footage from the mid-south coliseum"...it woulda been amazing...but kudos to swagger...though im not a fan...good job wwe.

This pisses me off. Would it kill them to give Jericho a decent title run?
I'm still shocked Swagger won MITB.

Holy poop, I was not expecting this happen so soon. I could care less about the lack of buildup because I already know that Swagger's one of the best grapplers in the WWE and really needed a change of scenery since the dumb RAW writers didn't know what to do with him.

I don't mind this, at least he's been around enough to be familiar to less diehard fans and was never buried as bad as some of the other guys from ECW have been after being drafted. I just wish they'd start the build a little while before they all of a sudden get the monster push. IMO, Swagger has the best chance to make it of the three recent tries (Swagger, Sheamus, McIntyre) because he wasn't just pulled from obscurity to become a big deal, and he also actually gets a crowd reaction unlike Sheamus at the beginning of his monster push and McIntyre......ever.
This COULD work, but it also requires WWE to not back down once they pull the trigger on him. CM Punk, who has the most potential to become a megastar of the future of all the young guys, had his first title run botched because they didn't put the focus and the WWE machine to work making him a solid main-eventer. Smackdown is the best place for Swagger, he can feud with Jericho, Edge, Undertaker, Rey Mysterio, CM Punk, all big names who want to build new stars and will put them over for the good of the company. WWE has actually set this one up pretty well, but they have to see it through to the end and not hit the reset button because he doesn't take off like a rocket.

Just like with sheamus, I will not buy swagger as world champ. Does wwe actually think that jack swagger is going to sell ppvs. Could he be a star someday..sure, but up until 2 weeks ago he was a jobber.

I have to say, I love the stoic look on his face when he wins, if this is an indicator of where they're going to go with him, I might be really into this. Please don't drop the ball WWE, you have a shot to make this guy....

While I'm a little mad that Jericho's title reign was cut short, I'm happy that the WWE are starting to blood new talent.

Well, so much for that Jericho/Edge feud continuing. But I must say, we all wanted WWE to be unpredictable, and here we are. No room to complain on this one.
