Suicide

What’s particularly interesting about the Suicide character is that he was played by a number of different wrestlers. T.J. Perkins, an American professional wrestler presently signed to New Japan Pro-Wrestling and Impact Wrestling, was the most well-known wearer of the Suicide mask during its heyday. He won the WWE Cruiserweight Classic tournament, and as a result, he became the company’s inaugural Cruiserweight Champion. Perkins also went by the ring name Manik, which is a variation on the Suicide moniker. On the independent circuit, he took on the role of Puma, a figure who wears a mask and is known as Puma.

Glacier

Glacier was one of the wrestlers who competed in the 1990s, although he never showed his face during any of his bouts during that time. After he retired, he came out and revealed his identity. Along with his professional wrestling career, Raymond Lloyd was also a mixed martial artist and actor. He passed away in 2012. His Glacier persona is reminiscent of the Sub-Zero character from the Mortal Kombat video game series. A fictitious profile describes the word Glacier as symbolizing the strength of nature’s elements.
