Swagger Should Be Missing Cole About Now

After Jack Swagger was separated from Michael Cole a few weeks ago, it looked like he might have been given a serious push. That same night, he faced John Cena in the main event of Raw. He looked strong. Where has he gone since then?

He's feuding with Evan Bourne. No offense to Bourne, but the WWE treats him as a jobber. For Swagger to be feuding with a guy like this, that is a huge downgrade. At least with his storyline involving Cole and Jerry Lawler, he was a part of something being given great hype. There are many things better than that, but this thing with Bourne is not one of them.

Tonight, Swagger got a match against Booker T. This was Booker T's first match back on Raw in years. I was glad to see him back. It is clear why the WWE did it. But what about Swagger? I can talk about rubs and future feuds with Booker T, but this looks like a one-shot thing that was used as an extension to the feud between Swagger and Bourne, who came out in the end. Swagger does not look as great as I was hoping when he first left Cole.

Question is, did this have to happen? Was this the only option available for Swagger at the moment? If nothing else, he could have easily have been the one feuding with Kofi Kingston right now. Leave Ziggler to do his angle with Vickie Guerrero or have the feud with Bourne. The WWE is hyping that Ziggler and Kofi have a history, but Jack Swagger and Kofi have faced each other before as well. And how hard would it be to put the All-American American American American American in a feud for the U.S. title? Not hard at all. Both Ziggler and Swagger could be in this feud against Kofi. Where would that leave Bourne? Back on Superstars. Once again, no offense, but the WWE treats the guy as a jobber. The push he receives now against Swagger will not elevate him to too much more.
