Jack Swagger was recently interviewed by the Huffington Post UK, here are the highlights..
WWE has started its UK tour, what for you is special about the UK shows?: I always love coming over to the UK. I’m from a really small town and so getting to come over the big pond and to see how WWE transcends different cultures and countries is amazing. For me, to see how far wrestling really goes and how far it reaches is awesome. My favorite part though is seeing our fans and how excited they are to have us over here.
We have home-grown Divas, US and Intercontinental Champions but we’ve never had a British WWE champion nor a PPV in some time – aren’t they overdue?: Absolutely. Being a Real American I can admit that the British talent roster is amazing. It keeps getting deeper and deeper every year and I think we have more UK superstars on our roster than ever before. I think it’s only a matter of time before there’s a British WWE champion.
Hulk Hogan is in the UK for your Smackdown television taping at the London O2 arena, which WWE Hall of Famer or legend would you like to face and why?: That’s a good question. I have always been a fan of Scott Hall (Razor Ramon). He’s always been one of my favorites and he has one thing that you just don’t get on TV anymore… and that’s chest hair! I think we need tons and tons more chest hair. I can’t grow any so don’t expect it from me. But seriously, I think a Scott Hall/Razor Ramon and Jack Swagger would have an unbelievable match.
Both ‘Legends’ House’ and WWE’s developmental programme NXT are available on the WWE network, which will be coming to the UK soon. As a superstar what opportunities does the network provide for you and what should UK fans sign up in order to see?: The entire WWE network is just flat out amazing. The type of services they offer are simply unbelievable. Unprecedented. Every so often WWE does something to transcend the wrestling and sports entertainment business. I think my favourite part about the network though is the unlimited library. I can find exactly what I’m looking for and look at things whenever I want to. It’s amazing. UK fans should be very excited about the prospect of the launch over here.
