Q&A: Lance Archer Wants to Show American Audiences What the ‘Murderhawk Monster’ Can Do

Lance Archer meets Cody Rhodes this Saturday at AEW’s Double or Nothing pay-per-view.

Debuting for AEW in March, the 6'6" Archer feels like an overnight success. But the reality is that there is a tremendous amount of depth to his 20-year career.

Archer, whose real name is Lance Hoyt, graduated with a degree in English from Texas State University. He broke into the wrestling business in 2000, starting in the Texas indie scene and landing his first big break in TNA. He had a brief run with WWE, but spent the majority of the last decade wrestling in Japan.
