11 Ups & 3 Downs From Impact Wrestling (Feb 4)

Downs...

3. Get Away From Him

Willie Mack is a star. He should be on a big singles push while Rich Swann is out injured, which appeared to be the case for a short while. Now though, Johnny Swinger is doing everything in his power to get 'Chocolate Thunder' as his tag team partner.

Sigh.

Simply by having Mack involved in a story with 'The Swing Man' devalues his stock level ever so slightly. Nothing good ever comes from being around him, except for Wrestlers Court. Swinger apparently told The Desi Hit Squad about Impact's newest tag team alliance, Mack'n'Pack. Get it? Because one of them is Willie Mack, and other owns a fanny pack. Such fun.

No matter if this all comes to an end in a week or two, it's held Willie back immensely. He could've been in higher-profile situations, not stuck in the story with Johnny Swinger of all people.
