Lance Storm (real name Lance Timothy Evers, born April 3, 1969) is a professional wrestler hailing from Calgary, (DramaticPause), Alberta, Canada, trained by Black Dragon, Ed Langley and Stu Hart, best known for his time in Wrestling/{{ECW}}, Wrestling/{{WCW}}, and Wrestling/{{WWE}}. He started training alongside fellow Canadian wrestler Wrestling/ChrisJericho, with whom he would team with and occasionally feud with off and on around the world, including the [=WAR=] and Wrestling/{{FMW}} promotions in Japan and several independent promotions in Canada. After a brief tenure in Wrestling/JimCornette's [[Wrestling/{{SMW}} Smoky Mountain Wrestling]], they went their separate ways (though both ended up in the same promotions, it was never at the same time till 2001).

* ShoutOut

* StillGotIt

* SignatureMove: Leg lariat, Star kick(drop sault), super kick, sidekick, cradle pile driver, spiked pile driver(deep impact), Suplex dropped into a power slam (power-plex, Wrestling/{{Goldberg}} would make it famous as the Jackhammer)

* {{Irony}}: For all his patriotism, Lance Storm often uses [[Wrestling/{{Sting}} the Scorpion Death lock]] instead of [[Wrestling/BretHart the Sharpshooter]].(It's the same move, only applying pressure to different parts of the leg)

* BookEnds: His first and last match of his full-time career were both against Wrestling/ChrisJericho.

Lance later started working for Wrestling/{{WWE}} when they purchased WCW in 2001, being the second WCW wrestler to win a WWE Title.[[note]]The first was Storm's former Team Canada ally Wrestling/MikeAwesome, who defeated Wrestling/JeffHardy for the [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/wwe/wwf-hc.html WWE Hardcore Title]] on the July 12 (taped July 10) ''[=SmackDown!=]''[[/note]] He was fairly successful in WWE, winning the [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/wwe/ic.html WWE Intercontinental Heavyweight Title]] and forming a successful ForeignWrestlingHeel Tag Team with Wrestling/{{Christian}}, who won the [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/wwe/wwe-world-t.html WWE World Tag Team Championship]] from Wrestling/{{Edge}} and Wrestling/HulkHogan, of all people. He also had a similar run with Wrestling/WilliamRegal as his partner. Eventually he retired from full time in-ring action to become a trainer, first for the WWE's developmental program before creating his own school, the Storm Wrestling Academy, in Calgary, (DramaticPause) Alberta, Canada. He's also served as the Pure Wrestling Association's booker.

* UncoolUndies: He found himself on the end of a PantsPullingPrank from Wrestling/{{Edge}}, revealing a pair of Franchise/PowerRangers underoos, which got huge laughs from the crowd, as well as a zoom-in from the camera.

* IHaveTheHighGround: The finisher of Sudden Impact/Thrillseekers, which was both Lance Storm and Chris Jericho doing a missile dropkick ''off of the same turnbuckle.''

* FlatCharacter: At one point during his WWE run. After Stone Cold Steve Austin came out onto the stage during one of his matches and chanted "Booorrrinnngg" before taking out a pillow, laying down and snoring into the microphone, he resolved to become more charismatic.

* FunWithAcronyms: '''S'''askatchewan '''H'''ardcore '''I'''nternational '''T'''itle, very much a literal case of GettingCrapPastTheRadar.

** After retiring, when he came back to wrestle Wrestling/BryanDanielson (considered by many to be probably the best wrestler in the world) and showed he could keep up with him for 30 minutes straight and nearly beat him, he received a huge chant of this from the Wrestling/RingOfHonor fans (along with chants of [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments "Thank You Lance!" and "Please Come Back!"]]).

* BreakupBreakout: The Marty Jannetty to Wrestling/ChrisJericho, although very successful compared to most Jannettys and more successful than Jericho in WCW. Arguably the Wrestling/ShawnMichaels to Justin Credible, whose main event ECW run is overshadowed by Lance's upper midcard WCW run.

** (in Wrestling/{{WCW}}): Team Canada, with Elix Skipper, Jacques Rougeau, Carl Pierre Ouelette, Major Gunns, [[Wrestling/HacksawJimDuggan "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan]][[note]]After a [[FaceHeelTurn heel turn]][[/note]], Wrestling/MikeAwesome and Kid Romeo.
