Vince Russo almost pulled the trigger on one of his most controversial ideas yet in JCW but even he decided it wasnt worth the fallout. Speaking on the Two Man Power Trip podcast on February 21, 2026, Russo revealed he once planned an angle involving an ICE figure targeting a wrestler only for the twist to involve former WCW star Glacier. Russo explained the idea centered around JCW talent Mecha Wolf, who frequently wrestles in Mexico. The concept was designed to spark immediate outrage before flipping the script. Russo acknowledged he knew exactly how the reaction would unfold with fans immediately criticizing him. The twist, according to Russo, would have come weeks later with the reveal that the ICE figure was actually Glacier playing on the name rather than referencing immigration authorities in a literal sense. However, Russo admitted the idea would never survive long enough to reach that punchline. He believed the backlash would escalate before the payoff could happen. In the end, Russo said the idea stayed on the drawing board even though he personally thought the twist wouldve been funny. While the angle never made it to television, Russos comments show hes still thinking in terms of shock value and controversial swerves even if todays climate makes those risks harder to execute. Do you think this angle wouldve worked with the Glacier twist, or would the backlash have been too big to overcome? Sound off in the comments.
