Jack Swagger

[Big Pete]

WWE star Jack Swagger was arrested last night in Mississippi, TMZ has learned -- after allegedly driving under the influence ... with pot in his car.

Sources close to the situation tell TMZ, Swagger -- real name Jacob Hager -- was leaving a "Smackdown" taping at Mississippi Coast Coliseum in Biloxi when he was pulled over for speeding.

According to law enforcement, the officer who pulled him over determined Swagger was driving under the influence -- and a search revealed Swagger was in possession of marijuana.

We're told Swagger -- a former WWE World Heavyweight champ -- was taken in by local police officers ... and later released on his own recognizance.

He has been charged with DUI (not alcohol), marijuana possession, and speeding -- all misdemeanors.

We reached out to WWE, who tells TMZ, "Mr. Swagger is responsible for his own personal actions."

Haha, wonder if he'll get the RVD treatment.

 

[DB]

What a goose! Got a WM title shot and does this. Orton level stupidity

 

[brooksy19]

I can see a rushed title match where he gets buried and a new challenger - Heel Orton steps forward.

 

[Shaun Hewitt]

There goes his push!

Hanging out with Evan Bourne...

 

[Eddie Lab]

god damn it swagger!!

you were given the ball and have just dropped it.

always enjoyed his matches and have enjoyed his recent push/performances.

Swagger has to be the dumbest person in professional wrestling. What a moron.

This could be to Dolph Ziggler’s gain though. I would love for Dolph to declare he is cashing in at WM and win clean.

 

[Misanthrope]

What a f**king idiot. He gets gifted a Wrestlemania title shot and handed a manager who manages to compensate for his abject lack of charisma, and he goes and does this.

I don't know that he'll get future endeavoured (although with police pursuing jail time, that may be the least of his problems) but I daresay he'll lose his title shot. I foresee a match on Raw for the title, he loses, and we find ourselves a new #1 contender.

Poor Dutch :-(

 

[mackdadday]

WWE title shot at wrestlemanias supposed to be worth upwards of 250,000 US in bonus money so ouch ouch and ouch

 

[Bulldog Force]

This will almost certainly mean and Orton heel turn! Bring it on

 

[nöyd]

piss on orton, give the shot (if not swagger) to an "established" heel

comes with free moustache rides for the ladies

 

[Misanthrope]

I wouldn't mind Orton getting the shot. He consistently works good matches and they've been slow building his heel turn for a while now.

 

[Chanandalar]

I f**king despise orton. He would have to be the most overrated, boring wrestler in recent memory

I f**king despise orton. He would have to be the most overrated, boring wrestler in recent memory

nice summation, next time you might want to cut the bs and just say whats on your mind :lol:

 

[pennywisealfie]

I agree with Chandelier

 

[Misanthrope]

When was the last bad match Orton worked? Seems like people are unnecessarily harsh on a guy who is considerably less boring than Cena despite being booked to basically tread water for the past 6 months.

 

[pennywisealfie]

Orton is boring as f**k. Cena is too, but Orton, fast forward.

Del Rio could lose controversially to Swagger at Wrestlemania. This could lead to Del Rio opening a huge can of whoop ass on Swagger, rendering him beaten up and helpless. Dolph Ziggler can then run in, cash in his MITB briefcase and winning the title.
