WE THE PEOPLE might be changing soon?

[It's...Baylariat!]

DUE TO RECENT CONVERSATIONS WITH #WWE OFFICIALS, #wethepeople WILL BE FORCED TO ALTER OUR STRATEGY. EXPECT IT ON RAW. @RealJackSwagger
5:12 AM - 5 Jun 2013

It appears as if some changes are going to be made to the characters of Swagger and Coulter doesn't it? What changes are coming? What's the reason? Do they need to change anything?

 

[The Butcher]

A good start would be to swap out Jack Swagger for somebody else. That's always a winning strategy. I am interested to see what changes are made. I doubt it's anything drastic. Zeb will probably just cut a promo Monday that leads to a new feud for Swagger. Either that or they'll just step the rhetoric back up to where it was pre-WrestleMania, in an attempt to get some heat back on Swagger. Maybe Zeb will bring on another wrestler and make himself a tag team. I don't know. Just throwing those out there. Whatever it is my interest is piqued.

I still like the idea that Colter and Swagger flip and start hiring low card Hispanic and Asian henchman to do their bidding. They can claim to embrace what America has become and use cheap labor to get things done like the rest of the lazy Americans. Maybe Swagger will claim disability and demand a paycheck each week from Vickie despite not working.

Unlikely they do this and I don't know how long it could last or accomplish but it feels like it may make for a reasonable evolution of the gimmick.

Would be a really funny yet truthful storyline, while helping a young Hispanic superstar get over by turning against Swagger and his "slavish" ways.

or it would at least give Primo and Epico something to do.

Primo, Epico, Hunico, Camacho and Yoshi Tatsu aren't at anything better.

IDK if your reading too much into it or not but if they change his gimmick now I don't see how they can make sense of it with Colter by his side. If anything I hope they turn the volume up a few notches. I'm a big fan of Swagger the wrestler, his stiff style is different in the WWE and I like it, I replayed him kicking Ziggler in the head four or five times, it made me that happy watching it, but he can't talk so they need someone to talk for him if hes to go anywhere.

 

[I'm A Vince Russo Guy]

Some funny ideas in this thread, but I think the best thing now would for them to go completely extreme with their views, would get over like crazy. Right now it's just a little too lightweight, despite Colter's great promos.

They need some new guys to feud with as well

 

[4realpeoples]

I would honestly like to see Swagger and Coulter become more extreme with their opinions and views. Hopefully this can lead to some key wins for Swagger because I can't remember Swagger winning a big match since Elimination Chamber. Whatever the "changes" are they better lead to something better for the both of them.

 

[The HEEL JuiceLee]

I think Zeb will add another follower & i think that guy will be Zack Ryder.
Although im holding hope that Ryder or Hawkins become part of the Wyatt Family

 

[King Patrick Star]

Actually, I was thinking a completed different direction. I was thinking a Face turn and challenging Dean Ambrose for the United States Championship. Okay, that was wishful thinking.

Zeb will probably add a new member or 2, maybe challenge the Shield for the WWE Tag Team Championship. Okay, that was more wishful thinking.

This is an interesting idea. I like it. It would help to get some attention on lower card guys that are buried in the roster.

I think another direction they could go is starting a feud with Christian (if he's ever coming back) by simply bashing Canada and Canadians.

 

[CMbrose Punk]

Swagger isn't strong enough to stand on his own. He's a "heck of an athlete", to use good ole JR's phrasing, but he has the personality of a wet sponge. He just can't act whatsoever. Every time he opens his mouth, he makes it abundantly clear that he doesn't believe in what he's saying. His facial expressions and body language are a dead give-away. Coulter makes you believe, makes you forget that he's an actor playing a character. The only thing that Swagger makes me believe is that he needs to go back to acting class.

But then again, it's just the sort of thing that you either have or you don't and Swagger has never had it, nor has he ever shown an inkling of potential to build it. It's a shame because the guy can actually wrestle both in and out of the ring, but you can tell that he just isn't comfortable portraying anything but himself.

Perhaps if Coulter took on a second guy to team up with Swagger, it would take some of the attention of Swagger. Having the spotlight on him, even with Coulter as a mouth piece, really highlights Swagger's weaknesses. Team him up with another mid card guy who can't get over on his own.

 

[Mustang Sally]

A good start would be to swap out Jack Swagger for somebody else.

Hadn't even thought of that. But, man, what a slap in the face that would be for Swagger, no? The company promoted the hell out of him when he made his last return to the ring, but no matter how hard they try, they just can't make him a star.

But, neither can they build a team around Zeb Coulter. So, I figured the new strategy would be to add someone else, yet retain Swagger. He could better serve as an enforcer for a team rather than function as the main character. Perhaps they'll also change (or expand) the patriot message Zeb has been spouting, but I would think they'd have to come up with something tastier than a new political message to keep fans interested.

Plainly, we knew a change has been coming, even before Zeb issued the warning. It can't have been lost on fans that Swagger-Coulter have been nowhere to found on the last couple Raws and Smackdowns.

 

[George Steele's Barber]

Now that I think about it Dutch Mantell really reminds me of Captain Lou Albano. New idea:

Swagger and Mantell kidnap the Uso's and disappear for a few months only to come back as the new Wild Samoans. Mantell puts rubber bands in his face. Swagger doesn't have to talk any more. I pop huge and the rest of the audience doesn't get the reference.

Lauper/Mantell video will be huge.

 

[MCMG]

Swagger needs Coulter and Coulter has done very well being a real American and whatnot. This is a proper gimmick played by a proper heel with a an actual manager - this is what has been somewhat missing and that is why they should keep pushing Swagger and Coulter.

He has the talent to be in the main-event and with Coulter he has someone to do his speaking. It is a very good combination and if they can find the right feud than it will be very exciting.

If they are too continue with the anti-immigrant propaganda than their options are limited. Immediately discarding Santino and Sin Cara for they are not good enough. I can only think of Cesaro, Sheamus and Mysterio but Cesaro is heel, Sheamus is feuding with Sandow and Rey has seemingly disappeared. Christian is another option but I'd prefer him as a filler until Swagger could feud with Sheamus or Mysterio for, while I think he is talented, Christian is not big enough to keep Swagger's momentum - I may be underestimating Christian but only time will tell.
