Jake Hager, the man formerly known as Jack Swagger from the WWE, recently spoke with Andy Malnoske of Wrestling Inc. and discussed his controversial "We the People" gimmick.

Hager said he believes the gimmick was cut short because it was derived from real-life problems, which is why it generated such a strong reaction from wrestling fans. He said it eventually evolved and fans embraced it to make it their own.

"It was definitely cut short but it's one of those things where it is not my company. I think 'We the People' is an example of why pro wrestling is so cool because it was a storyline that started out very political and very controversial and very nasty," Hager said. "It really evolved into a movement of the people, not just American people, but people everywhere.

Our fans around the world still say it and they have taken it to make it their own. It is more of that universe than it is mine. I am just happy to be part of it. It's just cool because you can do something in pro wrestling and have it evolve and just watch it transgress it's pretty cool."
