There's probably a lot of annoyed people here who are pissed that Swagger won the title on Smackdown by cashing in the MitB...
Sure, he's still pretty green and sure his mic skills and confidence (not the kayfabe confidence) need to grow, but I think WWE made a good choice doing this. Ultimately it opens up the possibilities for other stars to step up who otherwise wouldn't have a chance against someone like the Undertaker, not to mention, everyone hates Swagger and now that he's champ everyone hates him even more!
I think Smackdown is one step closer to having Morrison as the champ. The bar has been lowered to give others the opportunity but in time their names will be established enough to raise that bar once again.
Also, next to Swagger, Jericho looked PUNY! I never noticed before but Swagger is a big man.
Anyone else notice the bad make-up job on his forehead during his championship address?

SmackDown! in general was just atrocious this past week. I turned it off halfway through. There was essentially no matches whatsoever in the first hour or so.
In terms of the Jack Swagger bit, I'm not a fan of the guy. I never could stand him.
Understand I'm not the typical cynical wrestling fan either. I honestly look for something positive in everyone/everything instead of just burying everything that happens, or a wrestler who is pushed as the next big thing. But Swagger? The guy annoys me.
Still I think Kristian Kross' comments hold merit. I agree that this will open up some new doors in terms of main event championship contenders.

Perfect choice for new champion.
Great look, some personal charisma, EXCELLENT worker, and a legitimate athlete with an amateur background. Been a huge fan of Swagger since he was Jake Hagar in developmental. (Only by articles I read, was awaiting his debut for quite some time)
He was awesome on ECW and he and Christian absolutely tore it up in the ring.
They cooled him off to the point when he went to RAW that you would have never thought he was going anywhere. They went with Miz for the US Title (which has been atrocious) and Swagger just mainly beat up Evan Bourne and others with no storylines.
I was shocked when he won MITB and even more shocked when he won the title. I'm a huge mark for Swagger and I hope he gets a real good title reign out of this.
