Breakup Breakout: Inverted - Glacier actually had the least success of the Blood Runs Cold crew, despite being the main character in it. Kanyon and Ernest Miller both became tenured and memorable upper midcard heels, plus Kanyon had some success in WWF during The Invasion. Wrath went on an undefeated streak of his own, and then formed KroniK with Brian Adams and won some tag titles. Glacier didn't do squat after Blood Runs Cold.
Screwed by the Network/What Could Have Been: The first Blood Runs Cold vignette aired on the May 4, 1996 episode of WCW Saturday Night.Scott Hall (not named as such yet) debuted on the May 27, 1996 WCW Monday Nitro. Glacier was originally hyped to debut in July. Hulk Hogan's heel turn at WCW Bash at the Beach, July 7, 1996, and the launch of the NWO put everything else, including Glacier, on the back burner. Glacier debuted in August, making his Nitro debut against Big Bubba of the Dungeon of Doom, who disparaged Glacier in a prematch promo, saying "Karate Man, 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.
The Glacier gimmick has been inducted into WrestleCrap.
