My Take
At 203 cm, Lance Hoyt, better known as Lance Archer, is a genuine giant, and what impresses me is how mobile he stays at that size. A former football player out of Austin, Texas, he built a real reputation in Japan, winning the IWGP United States title twice. I have a soft spot for foreign wrestlers who go all in on the Japanese circuit rather than treating it as a sideshow, and Archer has clearly earned the respect of those crowds. His acting work hints at a versatility that makes him more than a one-note monster.
