Recently, Ray Lloyd, who is best known for his time in WCW as Glacier, was spotted on AEW television breaking up a fight, which left fans wondering whether he was working as an extra on the night or was employed by the company. And now, having investigated this, Fightful Select has confirmed that the accomplished martial artist has been hired as both a coach and producer. 60-year-old Lloyd broke into the business in the late 80s via Southern Championship Wrestling before going on to work enhancement for the NWA prior to them becoming WCW. From there, he would sporadically wrestle on and off before a conversation with DDP in 1996 saw him introduced to Eric Bischoff, who signed him to a full-time contract. Subsequently, Lloyd would be given the Glacier gimmick, a character inspired by the video game Mortal Kombat, and went on a notable winning streak. However, despite his push at the time, fans still considered him a mid carder at best, and by 1999, he would be released. This marked the end of his career in the major leagues. Still, he remained connected to the entertainment industry with occasional acting roles and performances as a stuntman.

That’s the idea. There are certain stars in wrestling who get the fans on their side due to a mixture of talent and charisma. That mixture of talent can cause fans to get behind them almost every time and it can be a special moment when that kind of a star starts succeeding. That has not been the case in recent months, but we might be in for a change of pace.

Change Of Pace? Update On AEW’s Plans For Bryan Danielson

Dr. Britt Baker was one of AEW’s first breakout stars,  yet she hasn’t wrestled since September, with it known, she has been supporting Adam Cole post-surgery and dealing with her own injuries. However, it appears she won’t be on the sidelines for much longer, as Tony Khan has revealed during the pre-Forbidden Door media call that she is expected to be medically cleared to return to the rung “very soon.” 33-year-old Baker was AEW’s first female signing, and while always treated as a featured performer in the women’s division, her career skyrocketed following her Unsanctioned Lights Out match against Thunder Rosa in March 2021. She wasn’t victorious on the night, although the match set her apart, similar to how Steve Austin’s defeat to Bret Hart at WrestleMania 13 made him a star. Subsequently, fans would get behind her character even though she was a heel, although it now seems likely that when she does finally return to television, she will be presented as a big babyface.
