WRESTLER OF THE DAY: JOHNNY SWINGER


RIPPA

Recommended Posts

Some days you end up in the deep dark corners of the internet. Those are the days you stumble upon Johnny Swinger workout videos... that seem like a poorly disguised Reality Kings setup

 

 

But hey - recent Swinger vs. Scott Steiner

In the realm of mid-card Rick Rude clones, Swinger wasn't an entirely horrible worker.

I was happy when I had heard he got himself a regular finisher... until I saw it for the first time.. and heard what he named it.

There is little if any hurty impact in the shitty Swing Thing neckbreaker.

I have to believe that the snyde little devil horns gesture by Swinger that Sullivan catches out of the corner of his eye earned Swinger the fucking stiff shot that starts off the match and the head kick after Jackie throws Swinger back into the ring..

God I remember for like 10 minutes there in like 1997-1998 when RSPW was all excited about Swinger being THE NEW SHAWN MICHAELS!!!!

 

Poor little fella.  At least he could take an ass-beating.  I will give him that.

 

God how did I not remember he worked XWF?

I didn't mention this during the Jackie thread but damn was the "Kevin and Jackie beat up jobbers" a fun, fun time.  J. Swinger is a ECW run away from being remembered as a Gambler-type fun job guy.
