Jim Ross, comentador do Friday Night SmackDown, disse no seu blog que Jack Swagger é um jovem bastante talentoso e que um dia irá ganhar o ECW Championship ou outro titulo. Disse ainda que daqui a uns tempos será um habitual Main-Eventer. Aqui estão as suas declarações:

"Jack Swagger, really nice name, is the real deal and, as legend has it, never lost a street fight while attending Oklahoma University where he came as a two sport, full scholarship athlete. Swagger will someday be an ECW Champion, or hold other gold, and is likely a year away from getting his chance to be a regular, contributing member of the main event society within the WWE but make no mistake that this young man is a keeper. Nice bout between the former OU Wrestling All American and veteran Tommy Dreamer on Tuesday night on Sci Fi. FTW as some will try and figure it out, I watched it on DVR"
