Vince Russo reveals scrapped JCW angle involving WCW’s Glacier
Vince Russo discussed a scrapped storyline for Juggalo Championship Wrestling during a recent interview.
Speaking on the Two Man Power Trip podcast, Russo described a storyline idea involving Mecha Wolf and former WCW wrestler Glacier. Russo said the angle would have featured an unidentified wrestler in riot gear abducting Wolf, with “ICE” written on the back of their gear. Russo said the planned twist was that “ICE” would ultimately be revealed as a reference to Glacier, not immigration enforcement.
“So, bro, I wanted to do an angle where (Mecha Wolf is) wrestling and somebody comes out in full riot gear and on the back: ‘ICE.’ And he’s trying to get Mecha Wolf.“
“And I wanted, when ICE got revealed, I wanted it to be Glacier.”
“Would that not have stuck it up everybody’s a–? They’d be ripping me to shreds and he’s ICE because he’s Glacier, you freaking idiots.”
“But the problem is, bro, I it would never be able to go that far without people being up in arms. 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.”
Russo’s full appearance on the podcast is available below. The video is cued to his comments regarding the scrapped angle.
