This time we look at Mortis, the character played by Chris Kanyon in WCW. On TV the Mortis character was given little backstory; a very brief promo on WCW Saturday Night allowed Vandenberg to talk about how Mortis was discovered but nothing else was really explored. The WCW Magazine expanded on the Mortis origin story quite a lot by talking about Vandenberg's previous job, the places where Mortis visited to become the performer he was, why he looked the way he did, and it even hinted as to why Mortis had issues with Glacier. This video looks at the magazine article while pondering over why the Mortis story wasn't expanded upon on TV. 00:00 - Introduction 02:16 - How Vandenberg Found Mortis 06:19 - Mortis Travels Southeast Asia 08:08 - The Glacier Rivalry 10:16 - Glacier's Prized Helmet 14:05 - Why Mortis Has The Advantage 19:16 - The Mystery of Glacier & Mortis' Relationship 21:38 - Final Thoughts / Credits
