Jack Swagger Arrested

WWE star Jack Swagger was arrested last night in Mississippi, TMZ has learned -- after allegedly committing several traffic offenses. Source close to the situation tell TMZ, Swagger was leaving a "Smackdown" taping at Mississippi Coast Coliseum in Biloxi when he was pulled over. It's unclear what traffic offenses Swagger is accused of committing ... but they were serious enough to result in an arrest. We're told Swagger -- a former WWE World Heavyweight champ -- was taken in by local sheriff's deputies ... and later released on his own recognizance. We reached out to WWE, who tells TMZ, "Mr. Swagger is responsible for his own personal actions."

I know, I'm also disappointed that it has nothing to do with an altercation with an offended fan or a racial attack of some sort.

But really...could you have worse timing, Jack? 

UPDATE:

WWE star Jack Swagger was arrested last night in Mississippi after allegedly driving under the influence and being in marijuana possession. Below is his mug shot.

WWE's Wellness Policy rules:

 14. DISCIPLINE FOR VIOLATION OF LAW

Any WWE Talent, who is arrested, convicted or who admits to a violation of law relating to use, possession, purchase, sale or distribution of drugs will be in material breach of his/her contract with WWE and subject to immediate dismissal.

I wonder what's going to happen at Wrestlemania then? I think Alberto should have a 'Loser leaves WWE' match against Swagger on Smackdown, in which Swagger loses and goes off on his merry way. Ziggler then cashes in his Money in The Bank contract on Del Rio (Still don't agree on lazy cash-ins, by the way) and goes on to face Jericho at Wrestlemania 29, somehow.

Or perhaps Mark Henry faces Del Rio at Wrestlemania 29, instead. That's where Ziggler could cash in his briefcase, but Ziggler should face Jericho at Wrestlemania in addition to cashing in his Money In The Bank contract.

My prediction:

Swagger and Zeb will make some racial comment to Mark Henry.
Mark Henry f*cks Swagger's world up.
Swagger unable to compete at WrestleMania.
Henry takes out any other contenders.
Del Rio vs. Henry for the World Title at 'Mania.
Swagger is never heard from again. 

Swagger is done.

Ziggler cashes in. Jericho challenges. Del Rio added. 

Triple Threat Excellence.

Oddly enough, this intrigues me more than just Ziggler-Jericho, as I'm starting to like Del Rio again. 

This is a weird video.

It's also worth noting that Glenn Beck tweeted something along the lines of "I would attend Monday Night Raw, but I have plans doing about anything else." To this, apparently, there was some board meeting of the writers at midnight last night to rewrite Raw's script.

You know what this means. Glenn Beck comedy. :|

Why does WWE, better yet, anyone, care about what Glenn Beck has to say, anyway?

Listening to that guy gives me a headache. He doesn't even sound like he knows what he is talking about, and is ranting on for the sake of a rant. Let's hope this guy never watches a movie of any kind.

The reason why I don't like Swagger's new gimmick, is the fact that it does nothing for him. Zeb Colter is the one talking, while Jack stands in the background with the attention coming off of him. What Zeb Colter has to say has nothing to do in context towards wrestling as well, which is another reason why it's such a lame gimmick. You look at JBL, who's character came across as someone who hated Eddie Guerrero so much, that he became almost racist and wanting him out of WWE 'that' badly. It made sense, because everything he did was used in context for his characters personal hate for Eddie Guerrero, and the fact that he wanted the Title off Eddie. Swagger has no reason to dislike races, because he has no back-story to building up his reasons for hating different groups of people. Not only this, but his character isn't even doing the talking, someone else is. It makes no sense, and has no context for why it's a gimmick to begin with. That's why I dislike it so much. If he lost to Del Rio multiple times and built up a feud against him, then I could see a story where racism get's built up towards Del Rio and other groups of people. 

Is there any chance that WWE turns this situation into part of the angle and Coulter blames Del Rio for planting weed in Swagger's car to try and frame him?TruthTellers

oooooo, that would be pretty interesting... doubtful though... brings unecessary bad attention to a "main event" performer

I think he'll get a slap on the wrist at most, especially if his character continues to get a reaction. JML897

I highly doubt Jack gets off easily....jedi_marcos

anyways, i would be really disappointed if Swagger doesn't get a severe punishment at the least... Total disrespect to your company by pulling that BS
