11 Ups & 5 Downs From Impact Wrestling (May 12)

7. Stirring The Pot

Believe it or not, a segment (technically two) involving Johnny Swinger is on the Ups. 2020 just got even wilder.

'The Swingman' was chatting away to Chris Bey backstage, where 'The Ultimate Finesser' let Swinger know that Willie Mack firmly believed he was the star of The Mack'n'Pack Connection, a team that Mack was firmly against even being a thing. Swinger couldn't believe his ears, and so challenged 'Chocolate Thunder' (or, as he called him, the Shawn Michaels of the team) to an X Division Championship match next week.

Everything about this was enjoyable to watch. Willie Mack is still against The Mack'n'Pack Connection being a thing, Johnny Swinger still sort of believes the team exists even though he formed another alliance with Glenn Gilbertti, and Chris Bey apparently just wants to stir the pot between the two. There's no reason for it really, but it still brought joy to the eyes.

Now, as long as Johnny Swinger doesn't end up winning the championship next week, he may be in line for his second Up in as many weeks.
