Former WWE World Heavyweight Champion Jack Swagger recently spoke with Colt Cabana of The Art Of Wrestling about various topics. Here are the highlights:
On differences between WWE and independent scene:
“The weirdest thing by far for me is the ropes. Like, every show the ropes are different and they’re sometimes loose as f–k and like, ‘uh, should we do that?’. But, dude, other than that, I’m low key, man.” Swagger considered, “but so far, so good. I’ve only been in it a month, so ask me again in two months.”
“One of the silver linings of me leaving the company is I’ve started my own merchandise company. Hopefully, we can branch that off and do my wife’s fashion line that she wants, but right now, you can get all the Jack Swagger merchandise at lfrlife.com, which, we were kind of like, ‘argh, should we tell them what LFR means [or] keep it a secret?’ But LFR means ‘let’s f–king rage’. Live that life.”
On losing a bet to Chavo Guerrero:
“One night we were having a gin tournament on a European tour. Gin, yeah, gin rummy. We were in Turkey our last night and me and Chavo were in the finals and the bet was that if Chavo won, I had to dress up as the eagle and come out for his match and do something and if I won, then Chavo had to come down to the bar that night after the show and stay in gimmick the whole time. Thank you. Yeah, I got lucky and I won.” Swagger added, “he came down to the bar dressed up as the eagle like a great sport that he is.”
