Still searching for his first victory on his road to fifty, Johnny Swinger has finally determined what has been preventing him from reaching the pinnacle of the wrestling industry.
During the June 8 episode of IMPACT Wrestling, Swinger told Gia Miller that every ham and egger worth their salt knows that he's the best professional wrestler of the golden era. He then relayed advice from his father (who affectionately referred to him as Swing Sonny), which was that when the going gets tough, you find someone else to pass the heat to. Swinger then pondered why he hasn't won a match, refusing to take responsibility. Instead, he blamed everyone from Vince Russo to Kip Winger, whom he called a "gimmick stealer."
After a whole lot of consideration from JJ Dillon, Swinger came to the realization that crooked referees who've been paid off by Gene Simmons and Bob Seger are to blame for his lack of success. As a result he has sent Zicky Dice to referee school so that he will finally have an official in his pocket.

Whether or not Zicky's new qualifications will pay dividens for Swinger remains to be seen.
