Jack Swagger has been pulled from WWE live events this weekend; however it should be noted that the company is still advertising him for Raw next week and Tuesday's Smackdown taping. No word on whether or not Swagger has been pulled from the live events due to his arrest.

The Wrestling Observer reports that WWE sources note that Jack Swagger was scheduled to win the World Heavyweight Title from Alberto Del Rio at WrestleMania 29. No word yet on what his arrest means for booking plans but WWE creative was working late on Wednesday night to come up with ideas, which doesn't sound good for Swagger and Zeb Colter.

There's talk that if WWE officials saw fit to change the direction of the match, then Dolph Ziggler would most likely get the WrestleMania match with Del Rio.

If Swagger ends up suspended and loses the WrestleMania match, the arrest altogether would cost him upwards of $250,000.

Ouch.

If DDP could do this for this man, he can and will re-invent Scott Hall. This is truly inspiring.

Indeed. I've watched that video many times, it's amazing. I was actually planning on starting DDP Yoga this week, but something unexpected happened within my family, so I've put it on hold until next week, at least.

Prior to Michael McGillicutty's match against Tensai at the WWE live event in Doha, Qatar last night, John Laurinaitis made his return to WWE and announced a dance off between the two wrestlers.

Hmm, maybe we might be seeing Mr. Excitement back on TV in the near-future...

...well, it seems Zeb Colter attracted the attention of the biggest right-wing nutjob in America: Glenn Beck. I'm not going to post his incoherent rant, but he essentially just calls wrestling fans "stupid". Zeb Colter and Swagger's posted a video rebuttal to him and completely destroyed his 18 minute rant in just over 2...

There's an (even better) extended version of the Colter/Swagger rebuttal from earlier...

I bet a lot of the kayfabe protectors will be furious. :p

faith in WWE restored (a bit :p)

so

ZEB and DEL RIO are friends? XD

Glenn Beck responded to WWE's invitation for him to cut an unedited rant on RAW for 5 minutes.

Have I ever mentioned I love Ricardo? :laugh:

Well at the very least they are going to continue Swagger and Zeb's gimmick it seems. Whether they let Swagger win the title at WM is another story. At this point with all the publicity it might be a good idea to let him win it. But then again, FOX etc may start reporting (if they haven't already) about Swagger's arrest last week and all that crap. And then there is the whole "does he deserve the win after last week, and can he represent the company going forward" stuff.

And this guy playing Zeb, I've never seen him before. Am I missing something? Not to mention it's really weird hearing them speak as themselves lol using their real names like that.

Better known as 'Dirty' Dutch Mantel, but was also shown previously in WWE as 'Uncle Zebikiah'. He was TNA's head writer for a while.

Well, there might be a potential spanner in the works, as the police who arrested Swagger are pushing for the maximum sentence...

GULFPORT, MISS. ? If all professional wrestler Jack Swagger had were tickets for speeding and misdemeanor marijuana possession, he could pay them by mail or online.

Gulfport city prosecutor Kirk Clark tells The Sun Herald (http://bit.ly/WYVShM) that it is the driving under the influence charge that requires Swagger to return to Gulfport.

Swagger, whose real name is Donald Jacob ?Jake? Hager Jr., was arrested just before midnight Tuesday in Gulfport on charges of speeding, misdemeanor marijuana possession and DUI.

Hager, 30, had just completed taping the TV show ?WWE SmackDown? in Biloxi at the Mississippi Coast Coliseum.

Police Lt. Craig Petersen said police stopped his northbound car on Lorraine Road about six miles south of Interstate 10. He said Swagger?s car was towed and he was released from custody to a friend who picked him up at the police station.

Swagger?s municipal court date is March 12. The charges are misdemeanors.

If convicted, records show Swagger faces fines of $188 for driving 10 mph over the speed limit, $437 for a small amount of marijuana and $1,300 if it?s his first DUI offense. The DUI charge carries a mandatory court appearance and he could lose his driver?s license for 90 days.

Clark said the court has allowed some defendants in limited circumstances to plead guilty to DUI without a court appearance. That only happens, he said, when an attorney enters a plea by affidavit and the defendant signs a notarized waiver of rights.

?We have never recommended mere fines and fees only on a DUI,? Clark said. ?We always recommend the maximum sentence of two days in jail for first offenders. That time can be suspended but only on completion of certain court-ordered conditions like probation, classes, AA meetings, etc.?

Kirk said a conviction includes an order to complete a Victim Impact Panel class, he said.

Swagger, who lives with his wife and child in in Boca Raton, Fla., is a native of Perry, Okla. The 6-foot-7, 260-pound Swagger played football and wrestled at the University of Oklahoma before he became a pro wrestler.

WWE said in a statement that ?Mr. Swagger is responsible for his own personal actions.?

Yes, it's only two days in jail, but any length of jail time will be bad PR.

And this guy playing Zeb, I've never seen him before. Am I missing something? Not to mention it's really weird hearing them speak as themselves lol using their real names like that.

Well, he's been in the business for 40 years, and he's better known as Dutch Mantel. I'll be honest, I never heard of him before, either. He spent a couple of years in WCW, then joined Smoky Mountain Wrestling when Jim Cornette started it up. Then he came to WWE as "Uncle Zeb" (hence the name "Zeb Colter") and managed, among others, JBL when he came to WWE as

. He then went to Puerto Rico and worked on the creative side. Then he joined TNA in 2003 (he's credited with bringing Awesome Kong/Kharma to TNA), left in 2009, went back to the indies, and here he is now.

He's baaaaaaaaaaaack...

Take a look at the video of Taker I posted and look at him on those pictures. He is getting fat and out of shape. He looked awesome when he faced Shawn Michaels, but lost his shape when he faced Triple-H and on those photos you posted, he looks like crap.

I won't comment, as he still looks in better shape than me. :p

    • BleachBit 6.0.1 Beta by Razvan Serea When your computer is getting full, BleachBit quickly frees disk space. When your information is only your business, BleachBit guards your privacy. With BleachBit you can free cache, delete cookies, clear Internet history, shred temporary files, delete logs, and discard junk you didn't know was there. Designed for Linux and Windows systems, it wipes clean thousands of applications including Firefox, Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, Opera, Safari, and more. Beyond simply deleting files, BleachBit includes advanced features such as shredding files to prevent recovery, wiping free disk space to hide traces of files deleted by other applications, and vacuuming Firefox to make it faster. Better than free, BleachBit is open source. BleachBit has many useful features: Delete your private files so completely that "even God can't read them" according to South Carolina Representative Trey Gowdy. Simple operation: read the descriptions, check the boxes you want, click preview, and click delete. Multi-platform: Linux and Windows Free of charge and no money trail Free to share, learn, and modify (open source) No adware, spyware, malware, browser toolbars, or "value-added software" Translated to 64 languages besides American English Shred files to hide their contents and prevent data recovery Shred any file (such as a spreadsheet on your desktop) Overwrite free disk space to hide previously deleted files Portable app for Windows: run without installation Command line interface for scripting and automation CleanerML allows anyone to write a new cleaner using XML Automatically import and update winapp2.ini cleaner files (a separate download) giving Windows users access to 2500+ additional cleaners Frequent software updates with new features Going beyond standard deletion of files, BleachBit has several advanced cleaners: Clear the memory and swap on Linux Delete broken shortcuts on Linux Delete the Firefox URL history without deleting the whole file—with optional shredding Delete Linux localizations: delete languages you don't use.

Execute yum clean for CentOS, Fedora, and Red Hat to remove cached package data Delete Windows registry keys—often where MRU (most recently used) lists are stored Delete the OpenOffice.org recent documents list without deleting the whole Common.xcu file Overwrite free disk space to hide previously files Vacuum Firefox, Google Chrome, Liferea, Thunderbird, and Yum databases: shrink files without removing data to save space and improve speed Surgically remove private information from .ini and JSON configuration files and SQLite3 databases without deleting the whole file Overwrite data in SQLite3 before deleting it to prevent recovery (optional) BleachBit 6.0.1 Beta release notes: BleachBit 6.0.1 beta is now available for testing. This maintenance-focused release includes bug fixes, updated translations, and a range of safe enhancements. This release fixes a Windows security issue that could allow arbitrary file deletion during privileged cleaning (reported by Zeze with TeamT5). It also adds new cleaners (including a DNS cache cleaner, Claude Code, and Visual Studio Code forks), support for multiple Chrome and Edge profiles, new deep scan options for developer directories like node_modules and venv, and safer, faster file shredding. All Platforms Added cleaners for Claude Code, DNS cache, and many Visual Studio Code forks. Added support for multiple Chrome and Edge profiles. Chrome can now clean downloaded AI models. Deep Scan can optionally remove venv, __pycache__, node_modules, and .angular directories. Deep Scan is faster by skipping directories on the keep list. File shredding is safer, faster, and leaves fewer recoverable traces. Improved handling of cookies, symlinks, Unicode filenames, external processes, and configuration files. Improved Expert Mode warnings and long warning dialogs. Fixed crashes related to cleaner detection, invalid Unicode, and malformed cleaner data. Clipboard is now cleared automatically after shredding files via paste operations. Linux Added AppImage support. Added cleaners for Visual Studio Code, Codeium, Librewolf (.deb), Transmission (Flatpak), and Profanity. Improved Linux trash detection, including Snap-installed applications and mounted drives. Fixed Wayland root CLI issues and several Snap-related problems. Improved package dependencies, AppStream metadata, and desktop file handling. Fixed startup crashes when Python Requests is unavailable. Windows Fixed a security vulnerability that could allow arbitrary file deletion when cleaning with elevated privileges. Added %WindowsSystem% variable support. Improved clipboard clearing using native Windows APIs. Improved installer experience on unsupported Windows versions. Reduced installer size and improved application robustness. Fixed Unicode handling, filename anonymization, Git revision reporting, and splash screen stability.

    • DriversCloud 12.1.6 by Razvan Serea With DriversCloud (formerly My-Config.com), you can explore your computer easily, safely and free. The application quickly scans your PC and identifies the hardware and software components. DriversCloud then establishes a list of the different drivers compatible with your OS and hardware. Download the drivers needed for the proper functioning of your computer. To detect your drivers, DriversCloud also displays a detailed summary of your hardware and software configuration, analyzes your BSOD, monitors in real-time your PC voltages and temperatures and lets you share your configuration online. Once the hardware components have been detected, you will be able to obtain with just a few clicks the latest drivers corresponding to the identified hardware. You can record your configuration on the site for free, and can get the corresponding URL to post the configuration to technical forums, e-mail and social networks. You can also download the detection result (the configuration) as a PDF file. To protect the user's privacy and data confidentiality, a 4-level confidentiality system was created that filters the XML marks and gives control to the user. The default level can be modified in the preferences. Using the maximum level will prevent the user from publishing his configuration and generating a corresponding PDF file. In non-connected mode, each XML configuration is stored on the server for one day (for practical reasons). However, you are given the opportunity to manually delete it. Created in 2004, and continually improved, My-Config.com has established itself on the web as a free service to PC users running Windows and Linux operating systems. The service is designed to work with the most common Internet browsers (Edge, Firefox, Chrome, Safari).
