10 WWE Superstars who would be better in UFC than CM Punk

#8 Jack Swagger

Swagger was nationally ranked at the University of Oklahoma

Jack Swagger is a pure corn-fed, brute strong country boy. Growing up in the plains of Oklahoma, Jack was a multi-sport athlete, focused on football and wrestling. In 1999, Swagger was ranked number 5 in the country by Wrestling USA.

It was that same year that he won the state championship, a year after being runner-up in his 215-pound division.

Swagger went on to compete in collegiate wrestling at the University of Oklahoma, where he eventually became an All-American and set a single-season record at the University, for most pins, with 30 in one season.

It was at Oklahoma that he was introduced to another famous alumnus, Jim Ross. Soon after, Jack set his sights on a future in professional wrestling.
