Welcome to another edition of
OFF-TRACK with A-TRAIN
where I find the weird stuff in wrestling news
and crack jokes about it
It's a thing I do.
in this episode
JACK SWAGGER:
HOW ELSE COULD TWO MONTHS' SALARY
LAST FOREVER?
(does anybody else remember those ?)
(No?)
(just me?)
(okay then.)
So last month, Jack 🍸Swagger asked for and was granted his release from🐼 WWE.
He's still under a 90 day non-compete, but he's taking independent bookings for after that peri💃od is up.
And he doesn't come cheap.
According to a report in the , an indie promoter has divulged that S🎀wagger is asking $4,000 per show, which is pricing himself out of many independent promotions.
Swagger will be working the upcoming House of Hardcore tour of Australia, but probably gave promoter Tommy Dr✱eamer a multi-date discount.
So is hiring 🤪Jack Swagger for a one-night stand at your wrestling promotion the best use of $4000?
Let's look at some other options:
Instead of ꦍhiring Jack Swagger to come out and do the "We The People" thing and put somebody in an Ankle Lock after 7 minutes of rest holds, you could buy:
A 78" Samsung 4K TV
Two Courtside Seats For Game 6 of Jazz/Clippers on StubHub.
Six-hundred-sixty-six $6 dollar Footlongs At Subway
Today's Italian BMT day!
Or you couཧld bring in Former World He🐲avyweight Champion Jack Swagger for one match.
Maybeꦇ he'll even wear the shirt that makes him look like🍒 he's being felt up by a giant Tickle-Me-Elmo.
But personally, I'd go with the sandwiches.
