Professional wrestling career

Early career (1993–1995)

After training in Toronto, Ontario, Dorgan started wrestling on the independent circuit in 1993 as "Johnny Paradise".

Following the closure of WCW, Swinger moved to Border City Wrestling. He made his debut on March 7, 2001 at an event in Oldcastle, Ontario, Canada and teamed with Otis Apollo to win the BCW Tag-Team Championship from Dyson Price and Geza Kalman Jr. [13] They would lose the belts three months later to Nova and Tommy Dreamer.

World Wrestling Entertainment (2005–2006)

Dorgan signed a developmental deal with World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) in 2005 and began training at Ohio Valley Wrestling (OVW) in May 2005. He made his WWE debut on the July 31, 2005 episode of Sunday Night Heat as "Johnny Parisi" winning his debut match for the company. He was a main stay on Heat.

He came back in December 2005, but was sent back to DSW. He worked two more Heat matches for WWE in February 2006, losing competitively to Chavo Guerrero and Kane. He was released on June 29, 2006.

Return to the independent circuit (2006–2019)

After being released from the WWE he went back to wrestling on the independent circuit mainly wrestling for Great Championship Wrestling (GCW). He has great title success there winning the GCW Heavyweight title on 2 occasions and the GCW Tag Titles twice, once with Glenn Gilberti and once with Bull Buchanan. Raven came to GCW to help Swinger with his feud against Michaels Inc. in December 2006. After winning the GCW title from Chris Stevens, Swinger turned on Raven and joined Michaels Inc. In January 2007, Swinger began challenging TNA wrestlers to try to come to challenge him in GCW. In response to this, TNA Director of Authority, Jim Cornette came to a GCW show to confront Swinger. Swinger and Bull Buchanan were defeated by Raven and David Young on January 31. Afterwards, David Young challenged Swinger for the GCW title. He later lost the title to Scotty Beach in a steel cage match via submission. On September 15, he defeated Scotty Beach for the GCW title once again. On September 29 he faced Bull Buchanan in a losing effort within a steel cage at the fourth-annual Fred Ward Memorial Show.

He returned to WWE to face Ron Simmons in a match on WWE Heat , and on October 14, 2007, appeared for TNA's flagship pay-per-view, Bound for Glory, competing in a dark match with Joey Matthews against The Motor City Machineguns. Swinger recaptured the GCW Heavyweight Championship from Bull Buchanan on December 15, 2007, in a triple threat match that also included another TNA veteran, Sonny Siaki. Swinger spent most of 2008 fighting off challenges of various contenders for the GCW Championship, including Scotty 2 Hotty, Disco Inferno, and Bull Buchanan.

On July 29, 2010, it was confirmed that Swinger would take part in TNA's ECW reunion show Hardcore Justice on August 8. [16] At the event Swinger, Simon Diamond and Kid Kash were defeated by Little Guido, Tony Luke and Tracy Smothers of The Full Blooded Italians in a six-man tag team match. [17]

In 2011, Johnny Swinger continued success for Peachstate Wrestling Alliance in Georgia, feuding with Bill the Butcher, Ultimate Dragon, and others. Swinger continues to be one of the most popular babyfaces in the organization, despite spending the majority of his career as a heel. He is also currently training pro wrestlers and hopefuls with Rick Steiner at Hard Knocks Gym in Kennesaw, Georgia.

In 2017, Johnny Swinger started to co-host The Raven Effect podcast on Podcast One with fellow pro wrestler Raven; however after a couple of weeks, he was replaced by comedian and former WCW employee Buttsby Berkeley, and backyard wrestler Joseph Feeney due to poor ratings. [18]

Return to Impact Wrestling / TNA (2019–present)

In 2019, Swinger re-signed with TNA, now known as Impact Wrestling. He debuted on the September 27, 2019 episode of Impact Wrestling. After a brief feud with Petey Williams establishing himself as a villainous character with the gimmick of an out-of-touch 80's wrestler, Swinger would proceed to get beaten by Ken Shamrock. After this match with Shamrock, Swinger would briefly reunite with former tag team partner Glenn Gilbertti. From there, Swinger would force himself into a temporary tag team informally known as the Mack and Pack Connection with Willie Mack on the February 19, 2020 episode of Impact. After Mack won the X Division Championship, Chris Bey would inform Swinger of Mack's disdain for Swinger, leading to a match between the two, which was won by Mack. After losing the contest Swinger engaged in post-match beatdown. Swinger started to manage and team with Bey.

On the July 28 episode of Impact! , Swinger joined a bunch of wrestlers in the reality show Wrestle House. [19] The following week, he lost against Alisha Edwards and Susie in a mixed gender handicap match. [20] [21] During Night 2 of Emergence, Swinger lost to Crazzy Steve in a Blindfold match, and had to dress like him the next week. [22] On the September 1 episode of Impact!, he and the rest of the Wrestle House cast returned to the Impact Zone during Knockouts Champion Deonna Purrazzo's Black Tie Affair. [23] In November, Swinger was accused by Tommy Dreamer for shooting John E. Bravo and was found with a gun in his fanny pack. He was taken to Wrestler's Court to defend himself and it was revealed that Larry D (as his alter-ego "Lawrence D") shot Bravo for taking Rosemary away from him. [24] [25]

In early 2021, Swinger established "Swinger's Palace", an underground casino in the Impact Zone, which was used as a location for feuds to play out, having John E. Bravo (whom he consistently called Dino) as his pit boss and Hernandez as his bouncer. The casino was shut down by Scott D'Amore on the September 30, 2021 episode of Impact! after Swinger nonchalantly admitted that he didn't have a license from the Tennessee Gaming Commission. [26] In October, Swinger entered a tournament to determine the inaugural Impact Digital Media Champion, where he was defeated by eventual tournament winner Jordynne Grace in the first round. [27] At Bound for Glory, he participated in the Call Your Shot Gauntlet match, where the winner could choose any championship match of their choice, but was eliminated by The Demon. [28] On the November 25 episode of Impact!, Swinger joined a bunch of wrestlers in the reality show Wrestle House 2, where he was brought in to be cheered up, per Bravo's request. He lost to Downtown Daddy Brown (Willie Mack's throwback gimmick) in a grudge match but was able to beat Larry D in his "Lawrence D" alter-ego, winning the affection of Swingerella 1 and her hand in marriage. During the wedding, it was revealed that Bravo slept with Swingerella 1 to not be a virgin and escape the deal he made with Rosemary. [29]

In 2022, with Impact resuming full time touring and no longer having a set location for Swinger's Palace, Swinger switched his focus to being a mentor for Zicky Dice, training him as part of his "Swinger's Dungeon" wrestling school.

Dorgan is the nephew of wrestler Tony Parisi, who died from an aneurysm on August 19, 2000, at the age of 59.
