Not sure about Swagger but Jinder was mostly the goof and the excitement of WWE doing something different, even if it is bad.

Pretty sure Swagger was Something Different too, plus he had that goofy Biff Tannen look and energy to him and everybody hoped he'd break out to become a goofy bully. Instead he started wearing a suit and did a YOU PEOPLE promo and people got tired of it rather quickly.

Don't get it twisted who your enemies are.
I think in 2017 the shock value of "oh my god they're seriously putting the belt on loving Jinder" was so strong and enough people were probably still salty about Okada beating Omega at WK11 a few months prior that the comedy option won.

Yeah man Jinder is great he's the best champion ever I loved the part where he called Shinsuke Nakamura *checks notes* a dyslexic Pikachu in between beating him loving twice.

The only way Vince "sells" the company away is if he somehow cloned a younger version of himself and switched brains and then sold it to Nu Vince. And even then the old decrepit body would probably still gently caress himself over because it's written into his DNA to be a dogshit human being.

Sell it to Tony Khan and do an updated version of Vince on both Raw and Nitro at the same time gloating about he won but with Tony instead across Dynamite and NXT

An acquisition rumor with some smoke would drive the price up, but there's almost certainly no truth to this.

That sounds like bullshit. It makes no sense for ESPN or Fox to get into such a deal where they're running such a carny business. McMahon gets away with what he does because no one cares. Once it's part of ESPN or Fox people will start asking questions. WWE bought WCW for almost nothing. Unless WWE plans on closing up and just selling ESPN their video library I don't see them biting on a completely weird industry that they'd have to run arenas, etc.

Orange Carlisle

I can't see a company that is probably already regretting that huge TV deal buying them anyway

It's clear WWE's ceiling was reached long ago and it's only down from here - but then again they probably knew that going into those deals too so maybe they'll go all in on the WWE investment and lose a ton of money along with them

Disney (ESPN) didn't buy the Fox networks (just the rest of Fox), so the idea that ESPN and Fox would buy WWE makes no sense.

The absolute best argument for why WWE isn't getting sold was made by Bryan Alvarez, who said that Vince would only sell if he could get more than Zuffa got for selling UFC. Which... isn't happening.

Swagger in ECW and during his early days on SmackDown was pretty good, and looked to have a pretty high ceiling, but as World Heavyweight Champion, everything that made him great to watch was systematically stripped away. I enjoyed his programme with Rey, where he played a vicious bully against "the greatest underdog champion," but that's basically forgotten because of the Kane heel turn that immediately followed that led to the seemingly endless Kane v. Undertaker feud that just seemed to get stupider with each passing week.

Oh yeah, the Real Americans was a tag team that had real legs. Honestly, the WWE should have run with a stable where Zeb Colter and Swagger gathered a bunch of "Americans" like Cesaro, Del Rio, and because he wasn't doing anything, Justin Gabriel.
