That's the thing that drives me nuts these days. Since Swagger has been champ, he's been pinned twice (cleanly) by John Morrison, I believe once by Edge (cleanly), and by Orton in the tag match (cleanly). Last night's win over Orton (who somehow is the #1 contender even though Morrison and Edge both beath Swagger first) was the first decent showing he's had since winning the belt and he had to drop Orton on a chair to do it.

I think it's Vince and management making sure the kid will be a good foot soldier and do the job when asked...but ultimately it does nothing for the product or the championship. He won't have the belt very long. He will probably improve a lot (as did Orton after his first title run) but seeing him and others in WWE right now makes me miss managers. perfect way to get guys over with no personality, plus managers always seemed to be good fodder for making feuds more personal between wrestlers.
