History YMMV / LanceStorm

* VindicatedByHistory: Lance was often derided as "boring" during his WWE Career, but his Ring Of Honor matches and his snarky attitude on Twitter has helped dispute this.

* HarsherInHindsight: Lance Storm used to be derided for visibly weak chair shots to the head. Now, after Chris Nowinski's concussion research, this would probably be looked at differently.

* HilariousInHindsight: Suggested on his website that WWE may use Seth Rollins' Money in the Bank cash in to have Reigns win the title without pinning Lesnar. Turns out he almost had the right idea.

* ShockingMoments: Given Storm's serious demeanor, who could have imagined that he would be as successful as he was in the disaster area that was [[Wrestling/VinceRusso Vince Russo]]-booked WCW 2000? He got to hold ''three'' titles at once, renamed them, and even turned wrestling's ultimate AllAmericanFace '''[[Wrestling/HacksawJimDuggan HACKSAW JIM DUGGAN]]''' into an anti-American heel!

* OlderThanTheyLook: As of 2012, he's 43. Most people guess several years younger than that.

* NeverLiveItDown: His planned Wrestlemania debut was pushed into the Sunday Night Heat pre-show in order to make time for a pillow-fight involving the catfighting girls from Miller Lite commercials.

* MemeticMutation: "Calgary, (DramaticPause), Alberta, Canada", of course.
** If I Can be serious for a moment...

* HolyShitQuotient: Given Storm's serious demeanor, who could have imagined that he would be as successful as he was in the disaster area that was [[Wrestling/VinceRusso Vince Russo]]-booked WCW 2000?

* EarWorm: His "Party All Night" theme song.

* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments: At an ECW show, Wrestling/PaulHeyman told Lance and [[Wrestling/TheDudleyBoys Spike Dudley]] that their match was just a filler with no storyline implications, so they could work out whatever finish they wanted. Storm insisted on losing to the much lower on the totem pole Dudley because the booked matches had too many heels going over, and Storm felt that an upset win by a popular {{Jobber}}-To-The-Stars would be a nice spot of light on a show otherwise full of DownerEndings.
