Didn't they try to make him a big deal right after the split by jumping to Smackdown? He gave like, two weird promos and that was pretty much the end of it wasn't it?

Several months after the split. Otherwise, yes, he had a couple of weird promos and possibly a match, then back to oblivion.

DIRECTIVE 236: Promote pro-social values
lol at the repeated sensitive tweets from wrestlers lately about how much money they are making.

But I also read that Swagger was tweeting support for Joe Mixon which led to his tantrum starting, in which case gently caress him I'm glad he's never on TV.

They switched him over and built him up solely to be a job guy to Corbin

They did their best but sadly he remained Jack Swagger.

Jack "How do you do, fellow kids?" Swagger was the best and it should've continued. He could've tagged with Baron Corbin as those guys in your small town who still show up at high school parties and bring beer.

turn it all around

He also wore a backwards cap and the whole thing felt very uncomfortable/unnatural. And I think he said "You don't know Jack" or some other awful thing.

Jack Swagger never topped saying his real name in that bizarre passive aggressive worked shoot promo they did for Glenn Beck.

Not really. They put him in a suit, made him lose a lot, stop smiling for whatever reason, took away his cool entrance dance I liked. He looked stronger somehow, briefly, after dropping the belt.

Jack Swagger peaked as ECW Champion, but close behind were his bouts with Rey Mysterio and this little gem:

I'm not making a fucking QCS thread for this but seriously can we take a harder stance on Kiwifarms freaks like this guy, Jesus Christ seriously, you used to be better at knocking these creeps down. I guess ADTRW mods aren't responsible like GBS mods are.
As someone who's had fake wrestler twitter accounts @ me when I say something I just don't understand why you would constantly keep roleplaying. It's the worst catfishing attempt ever. Not to mention the sex RP community where random people openly cyber with other random people all pretending to be wrestlers/actors/musicians.

The best thing about Swagger was the Swagger Soaring Eagle.

And the best thing about the Swagger Soaring Eagle, was that when it got injured, Swagger came out and cut a promo saying that it wasn't a real eagle, but a man in a suit. And that mad didn't have health insurance.

No way he keeps that name right? They already have a KO now. Let him be Chris Hero this time. There is precedent.

The rise of NXT, and thus the makeup of the wrestlers they recruit. Besides which, DeMott left and Hero parted amicably with WWE so it was going to happen eventually.

I'm going to bet Chris does keep his name, but HHH is just reminding people who don't know who he is by using his WWE name.

There isn't a single person who was watching NXT pre-Network that isn't also aware of the indies, so no, he is not reminding people of who Hero is. That's just the name he'll be using and we won't get the joy of all yelling "Chris Hero ain't nuthing at gently caress with!"
