YMMV / Lance Storm

Go To

  • Draco in Leather Pants: Primarily worked as a heel, but popular with the crowd due to his incredible skills.
  • Harsher in Hindsight: Lance Storm used to be derided for visibly weak chair shots to the head. Now, after Christopher Nowinski's concussion research, this would probably be looked at differently.
    • Later on, Lance actually put TNA to task for their dangerous use of headshots.
  • Heartwarming Moments: At an ECW show, Paul Heyman told Lance and 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 Downer Endings.
  • Hilarious in Hindsight: Suggested on his website that WWE may use Seth Rollins' Money in the Bank cash-in to have Roman Reigns win the title without pinning Brock Lesnar. Turns out he almost had the right idea.
  • Memetic Mutation:
    • "Calgary, (Dramatic Pause), Alberta, Canada".
    • If I can be serious for a minute...
  • Mis-blamed: The Rock 'n' Roll Express were none to happy to see the Heavenly Bodies using their finishing move in Smokey Mountain Wrestling, even though Jim Cornette told them to do it when Lance suggested to Jericho that they should not.
  • Never Live It Down: 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.
  • Shocking Moments: Given Storm's serious demeanor, who could have imagined that he would be as successful as he was in the disaster area that was Vince Russo-booked WCW 2000? He got to hold three titles at once, renamed them, and even turned wrestling's ultimate All-American Face "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan into an anti-American heel!
  • Vindicated by History: 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.
