Tall Tales, presented by the Sellers Law Firm, LLC, goes glacial in July as it heads to the slammer with WCW superstar GLACIER & WCW/ECW/TNA superstar Johnny Swinger, LIVE in The Watchtower at Jailhouse Brewery in Hampton, Georgia July 25th, 2019.

Housed in the old city jail of Hampton, Ga., Jailhouse Brewing opened its doors in 2009 as the 4th production brewery in the state. Built in the early 1900’s, the old city jail operated until the mid-seventies. Today with 16 beers available on draft, a fun outdoor space, tours, and a listening room, Jailhouse Brewing produces over 2,500 barrels per year in just a 1,500 sq ft building where they stay true to their saying.. “We believe in the little man, small towns and big flavor.”

*Special Guest: “Glacier”
Making his pro wrestling debute in the late ’80s, Ray Lloyd, a Georgia native, received the most heavily hyped debut in sports-entertainment history when he emerged in pro wrestling’s WCW in 1996 as “Glacier” — a coldblooded kung-fu master from Japan’s Shorinji Temple.

“Glacier” brought the video game Mortal Kombat to life arriving with an entrance so elaborate that it featured lasers and fake snow, he went on to brawl with Goldberg, appear in video games and see his image plastered across toy cars and T-shirts.

With Ted Turner’s billions behind him, WCW went all out with the Glacier concept, hiring a special effects studio to create elaborate ring gear and an entrance rumored to have cost six figures to produce.

In addition to his appearances on WCW’s Monday Night Nitro, Thunder, movie rolls in “Blood Bath”, he has appeared in, Ray has also had roles in hit television shows like “Burn Notice” and “Meet the Browns” and oversees production for Maus Media Group, a Florida-based advertising and marketing agency.

*Johnny Swinger
Joe Dorgan, also know as “Johnny Swinger”, debuted as a professional wrestler in 1993 and soon began working for Vince McMahon on WWF’s RAW. He then signed with WCW and started appearing on WCW Saturday Night, WCW World Wide, Thunder, and WCW Monday NITRO during its highest rated period. Swinger also worked for ECW and TNA where he was a NWA World Tag Team Champion before returning to WWE and appearing on Sunday Night Heat as Johnny Parisi.
