Vince Russo Reveals Rejected ICE Gimmick Involving Glacier
Vince Russo details a scrapped ICE gimmick involving former WCW star Glacier for Juggalo Championship Wrestling.
During his recent appearance on the Two Man Power Trip podcast, former WWE and WCW Head Writer Vince Russo revealed that he wanted to do an angle in JCW involving Mexican wrestler Mecha Wolf and former WCW star Glacier. He noted that the storyline would’ve featured an unidentified wrestler wearing a riot suit with the word “ICE” written on the back.
He would’ve tried to go after Mecha Wolf, and the angle would’ve featured a twist with Glacier revealed as “ICE.” His logic is that the unidentified person was “ICE” or just “ice,” because he is Glacier and is not an immigration officer.
“Bro, can I tell you something that I wanted to do with JCW?” Vince Russo began. “I wanted to do an angle. We have a very good wrestler there. He wrestles in Mexico a lot. You probably know him; his name is Mecha Wolf. So I wanted to do an angle where he’s wrestling, and somebody comes out with full riot gear, and on the back, ‘ICE.’
“And he’s trying to get Mecha Wolf. So, you know, bro, ‘Vince Russo’s gonna get buried. How could he do this?’ And when ICE got revealed, I wanted it to be Glacier. Would that not have stuck it up everybody’s a*s? They’d be ripping me to shreds. He’s ICE because he’s Glacier, you freaking idiots,” Vince Russo said.
Vince Russo explained why the angle wouldn’t have worked
Speaking further, Vince Russo explained that the angle would not have survived to see its conclusion because the fans would’ve been up in arms the very first week it was introduced.
When asked why the story didn’t come to fruition, Vince Russo said, “Because the problem is, bro, it would never be able to go that far without people being up in arms. You know what I’m saying? You would have to do this for a couple of weeks and then do the reveal. After the first week, people would be up in arms.
“But I just thought that would be hysterical because you know everybody would be so offended, and then when ICE winds up being Glacier, I thought that would be great,” Vince Russo said.
