Can Cesaro & Jack Swagger Remain the Real Americans?

Leading up to the WrestleMania 30 Tag Team Championship match, Cesaro and Jack Swagger have had their share of differences. Jack Swagger, once a main event player and powerful rookie, has taken a back seat as of late to his unsolicited partner, Cesaro. Cesaro, after a successful run with the United States Championship, has taken to using the ‘Real Americans’ tag team to his advantage and showcasing a stronger, more efficient side, gaining himself a WWE World Heavyweight Championship match at Elimination Chamber and momentum going into WrestleMania 30. Since then, both men have been at odds with their manager, Jack Swagger’s uncle, Zeb Colter playing their praises against each other. No one is sure as to why Zeb Colter would cause distrust between his two protégés, but they have managed to remain a team leading up to the Tag Team Championship opportunity. Mattel WWE wrestling figure fans have perfect versions of all three members of the ‘Real Americans’ to re-create the mistrust…or to make it dive even quicker than before.

Mattel WWE Series 37 Zeb Colter!

Zeb Colter is the mouthpiece of the ‘Real Americans’ tag team. With his shaking fists and dislike for anything he considers ‘anti-American’ he has been a loud, obnoxious presence in the WWE since coming to the aid of his nephew Jack Swagger. Recruiting Cesaro as another person he considers a ‘true Patriot,’ Colter often favors Cesaro and his outstanding ability over that of his nephew. In Mattel WWE Series 37, his spot on likeness is featured and in great detail, obvious by the likes of his dastardly mustache, combat vest and tie. You can almost expect the wrestling figure to shout ‘We the People’ in the middle of the night.

Mattel WWE Elite 23 Cesaro!

Cesaro was already doing his best to let the WWE Universe know that he considered himself more of an appreciative American than many of those who call the United States their home. Waving a flag and carrying the United States Championship as seen here in Mattel WWE Elite 23, Cesaro has since joined up with Swagger and Colter and offered a new level to the patriotism they carry. With the devastating ‘Cesaro swing,’ amazing uppercuts and brute strength, he’s one of the fastest rising WWE Superstars and clearly brings about the jealous ire of his partner, Jack Swagger.

Mattel WWE Elite 26 Jack Swagger!

Since opting to take a more ‘middle American’ approach to his wrestling style and demeanor, Jack Swagger has become scruffier, grumpier and more aggressive. No longer the smiling golden boy, Swagger feels, at the behest of his Uncle Zeb, that he is representative of what a true American really is. The ‘All American American’ is in Mattel WWE Elite 26 with his new look, waving a ‘Don’t Tread on Me’ flag and a black and grey wrestling singlet. While he may be jealous of his uncle taking a liking to Cesaro, Jack Swagger has raw wrestling ability of his own that is not to be overlooked, especially when in contention for the WWE Tag Team Championships. The ‘Real Americans’ could walk out triumphant at WrestleMania 30 thanks to Jack Swagger.

OHHH YOU DIDN’T KNOW? Tag Team Champions The New Age Outlaws, Reuniting in Mattel WWE Form!

Just in time for Valentine’s Day as people across the world think of the greatest pairings ever, many WWE Universe members are struck by the partnership of the New Age Outlaws, Road Dogg Jesse James and ‘Bad Ass’ Billy Gunn. After re-capturing the WWE Tag Team Championships following a 15 year absence, the duo, who may or may not be at the beck and call of COO Triple H, are taking the locker room by storm. Aside from a brief appearance on RAW’s 20th Anniversary and a quick entry into the 2013 Royal Rumble by Road Dogg, the New Age Outlaws have been mostly inactive in the ring since disbanding so many years ago. However, they are proving consistently that they still have what it takes to roll with the young superstars they are defending their championships again. Now, they finally have Mattel WWE figures for fans to re-enact their favorite modern day New Age Outlaws moments.

Mattel WWE Elite 26 Road Dogg Jesse James!

The Road Dogg Jesse James blows the roof off of any arena he enters, beckoning the WWE Universe to the ‘Dogg House’ and rhyming his way through a self-introduction to one of the greatest Tag Teams in the history of wrestling. His Mattel WWE figure includes a hat, a D-Generate Road Dogg t-shirt and a classic style D-Generation X t-shirt. With a spot on likeness, pants that bear the D-Generation X style logos that only Road Dogg can pull off, this figure comes ring ready for both classic collections and modern day collections.

Mattel WWE Elite 27 Bad Ass Billy Gunn!Mattel WWE Elite 27 Bad Ass Billy Gunn!

Also entering the Mattel WWE world is the ‘Bad Ass’ Billy Gunn, also affectionately known as ‘Mr. Ass.’ WWE’s resident ass man gets his first figure treatment in over 7 years, throwing back to his original style during the ‘Attitude Era’ but presenting a modern sentiment with interchangable headbands and two separate D-Generation X t-shirts. His trunks bear plenty of lips symbols and his knee pads are marked with ‘BA,’ which can only stand for ‘Bad Ass!’ The green color and white boots are a style choice Billy Gunn has made famous, making mothers everywhere turn their heads as he pulled his shorts down just enough to be inappropriate when entering the ring. His figure will not have this feature, but he is still just as much of a degenerate.

Mattel WWE New Age Outlaws Package Deal!

The New Age Outlaws have finally been immortalized in Mattel WWE plastic, but at what cost? The once happy-go-lucky rebels still maintain their wild personalities but carry out the biddings of the controlling, condescending and downright oppressive COO, their fellow D-Generation X member, Triple H. Could their WWE Tag Team Championship opportunity (they did win fair and square, at least) have come from strings being pulled by their friend in the highest possible place? No one knows except the members of D-Generation X themselves, but seeing how quickly the New Age Outlaws can jump to the defense of their old friend smells a little fishy.
