Jack Swagger Talks About How Pro Wrestling Has Changed, Planning His Personal Life, More

– Jack Swagger recently spoke with TheNational.ae to promote WWE’s upcoming tour in Abu Dhabi. Below are some highlights:

Is it tough to balance the showbiz aspect of your life with the demands of an athlete?

They go hand-in-hand and complement each other very well. I think it’s about understanding what each person excels at. It is something that you have to adjust to and prepare for, but it is amazing how it creates larger-than-life characters with great athletic ability.

What would you say has been the biggest change in wrestling in the past few decades?

There is more speed, definitely, and shorter matches. I think that is the evolution of sports in general. This generation is getting bigger and faster, and because of that, the style has also changed.

With all the touring, do you have time for personal plans?

A wise person once told me that you always have to make plans to do what you want to do. We get our calendars for three months at a time so it’s very hard to plan for anything more than that, but I definitely try to plan my life.
