History Wrestling / Glacier

* ArchEnemy: (in WCW): [[Wrestling/{{Kanyon}} Mortis (Kanyon)]], [[Wrestling/AdamBomb Wrath (Bryan "The Nightstalker"/"Adam Bomb" Clarke)]], manager [[Wrestling/JamesMitchell James Vandenberg (James "The Sinister Minister" Mitchell)]], [[Wrestling/ChrisAdams "Gentleman" Chris Adams]], Perry Saturn; (in Wrestling/{{CHIKARA}}): The [=UnStable=], particularly Vin Gerard.

* AwesomeYetImpractical: His incredible entrance cost nearly half a million dollars to put together, including $35,000 on the faux-armor he wore to the ring alone.

* DullSurprise: Seen this way by a lot of the audience at the time.

* ArchEnemy: (in WCW): [[Wrestling/{{Kanyon}} Mortis (Kanyon)]], [[Wrestling/AdamBomb Wrath (Bryan "The Nightstalker"/"Adam Bomb" Clarke)]], manager James Vandenberg (James "The Sinister Minister" Mitchell), [[Wrestling/ChrisAdams "Gentleman" Chris Adams]], Perry Saturn; (in Wrestling/{{CHIKARA}}): The [=UnStable=], particularly Vin Gerard.

* BewareTheQuietOnes: Rarely spoke, potentially due to the fact that his [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4b-IeV-z0lg heavy Southern accent]] would clash with his gimmick.
* BigYes: Received one when Wrestling/{{CHIKARA}}'s Director of Fun Leonard F. [=Chikarason=] drew his name to be Los Ice Creams' teammate at ''[=CHIKARA=] King of Trios 2008'', Night 2, March 1, 2008, for the match against Los Luchadores de [=Mexico=] ([[Wrestling/{{Hunico}} Incognito]], El [=Pantera=] and Lince Dorado.)

* ScrewedByTheNetwork[=/=]WhatCouldHaveBeen: The first [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UjzznUuVJyU Blood Runs Cold vignette]] aired on the May 4, 1996 episode of ''WCW Saturday Night.'' Wrestling/ScottHall (not named as such yet) debuted on the May 27, 1996 ''Wrestling/WCWMondayNitro''. Glacier was originally hyped to debut in July. Wrestling/HulkHogan's [[FaceHeelTurn heel turn]] at ''WCW Bash at the Beach'', July 7, 1996, and the launch of the [[Wrestling/NewWorldOrder NWO]] put everything else, including Glacier, on the back burner. Glacier debuted in August, making his Nitro debut against [[Wrestling/BigBossman Big Bubba]] of the Wrestling/DungeonOfDoom, who disparaged Glacier in a prematch promo, saying "Karate Man, [[Film/TheKarateKid wax on, wax off!"]]. Because Glacier's debut was delayed, the debuts of his nemeses Mortis, James Vandenberg and Wrath were delayed too, this time, until ''Uncensored'' in ''March of 1997''. This meant that he was out there for months with no angle or storyline, and, thus, no reason for the fans to care about him. Glacier's matches, particularly his elaborate and expensive entrance, with lights and fake snow falling, and his tendency to at times miss his finisher, hurt his chances to get over.

** DudeWheresMyRespect: His attempt at a heel run in 1998, [[SmallNameBigEgo based on his perception that people didn't respect him and his hard work and his odd claim of having "invented" the Superkick]], didn't really get over either.

** Similarly, there was the angle where Glacier, via evil ForeignWrestlingHeel manager Sonny Onoo, "sold" his gimmick/costume to a confused Kaz Hayashi, which was also abandoned and forgotten.

'''Raymond M. Lloyd''' (b. 1964) is an American martial artist, actor and [[ProfessionalWrestling professional wrestler]] from Brunswick, GA best known for his time in Wrestling/{{WCW}} as '''Glacier''' from 1996-1998. His [[TheGimmick gimmick]] was based on the character Sub-Zero from the ''Franchise/MortalKombat'' series of video games as part of an angle called Blood Runs Cold. The angle is considered to be a flop, and has even been labeled a [[BLAM/ProfessionalWrestling Big-Lipped Alligator Moment]]. He started his in-ring career as "Ray Lloyd" in the late 1980s and was a TV {{Jobber}} for Wrestling/{{WCW}} against such opponents as the Great Muta and the Skyscrapers (Sid [=Vicious=] and Wrestling/DanSpivey). He also competed in the [[UsefulNotes/{{Japan}} Japanese]] [=shoot-style=] promotion [=UWFi=]. He has also competed for Wrestling/{{CHIKARA}}, Pro-Wrestling ZERO-ONE, Wrestling/DustyRhodes' Turnbuckle Championship Wrestling[[note]]where he was a 2x [[http://www.cagematch.net/?id=5&nr=857 TCW Heavyweight Champion]] and a 2x [[http://www.cagematch.net/?id=5&nr=858 TCW Tag Champion]], 1x w[=/=]Jorge [=Estrada=] and 1x w[=/=]Ron Studd, real name Ron [=Reis=], aka the [=Yeti=] of the Wrestling/DungeonOfDoom and Reese of [[Wrestling/{{Raven}} Raven's Flock]].[[/note]] and for several other independents, particularly in the Florida and Georgia areas. He is a 1x [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/nwa/world/nwa-t.html NWA World Tag Team Champion]] with Jason [=Sugarman=].

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: That prized helmet of Glacier's that Mortis, Wrath and Vandenburg stole? Forgotten about halfway through the angle.

** His attempt at a heel run in 1998, based on his perception that people didn't respect him and his hard work and his odd claim of having "invented" the Superkick, didn't really get over either.

* LesserStar: Ernest "The Cat" Miller and Wrestling/{{Kanyon}} both became bigger names than he did, at least for a time.

* PartsUnknown: "The Shorinji Temple in Fukuoka, Japan." While Fukuoka, Japan ''is'' a real place, there is no Shorinji Temple there.
