Jack Swagger did an interview with The Charleston Post and Courier recently.
Here are some quptes from the World Champion
On
winning the World Title: "It's been unbelievable. It's such an
incredible honor. I don't think it's completely sunk in yet. This last
month or so has been so surreal. I've tried to enjoy it a much as I can.
It was very fast. Hopefully it says something about the confidence WWE
has in me. I intend to prove to WWE and the fans that I am a champion, I
am credible and I'm going to be here for awhile."
On being a
fan: "I'm a fan of all forms of wrestling ... Olympic style, collegiate,
professional. Just the larger-than-life atmosphere that comes across on
TV is really what drew me in. I was in the fifth or sixth grade, and I
really got hooked on the Monday Night Wars. It was really good
television."
On Oklahomans in wrestling: "One of the first things
I did once I signed with WWE was learn about every Oklahoman in the
business. Whether it was Cowboy Bill Watts, J.R., Danny Hodge, the late
"Dr. Death" Steve Williams, who was a great friend of mine ... all of
those guys were instrumental in making UWF (Universal Wrestling
Federation) as great as it was. I got to meet Cowboy Bill Watts for the
first time at Wrestlemania 25. What a conversation that was. He's quite a
character."
On his relationship with Danny Hodge: "I grew up
with his grandson. We're the same age and we wrestled throughout high
school together. Every year for the past three years Danny and I have
been on the same ball team for the Oklahoma wrestling team's fundraiser.
So we get together at least once a year and talk shop."
On his
dream match: "A dual program with The Undertaker, who I think is the
greatest wrestler ever, and Rey Mysterio. It would be Jack Swagger vs.
Rey Mysterio vs. The Undertaker for the world heavyweight title. That
would be great."
