2. Glacier
The living and breathing version of Sub-Zero from Mortal Kombat. Again... the living and breathing version of Sub-Zero from Mortal Kombat. It should be impossible to not get that gimmick over and make it successful, but Ray Lloyd and WCW made it possible. For five whole months, WCW aired vignettes for Glacier's debut, showcasing martial arts skills and special effects that probably cost a nice chunk of change. Of course, that was par for the course here, as the effects that were needed for his ring entrance cost $500,000 and his entire costume cost another $35,000. That's a ridiculous amount of money spent on one wrestler, period, let alone one that had no history behind him. Oh, WCW. By the way, that costume and those effects lasted a month before they were scrapped, and he would go back on the shelf for a couple months before debuting new ones. Oh, WCW. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jB3C0fflMxQ The entire thing was never accepted by fans, who had already grown tired of him through his vignettes before he even made his debut. It didn't help that he was really bad in the ring, more focused on putting on martial arts exhibitions, throwing kicks and punches at the air, than at actually performing wrestling moves. His nonsensical feud with Mortis, Wrath, and James Vandenberg only made things worse for him. They took an impossible-to-screw-up gimmick and screwed it up. Say it, everyone... oh, WCW.
