Short Bio
Lance Storm got his wrestling training at the now legendary Stu Hart Pro-Wrestling camp in 1990. Lance made his professional debut later that year in a match against Chris Jericho the result was a draw. After some very successful years in the indies where Lance and his then tag partner Chris Jericho, as the team Sudden Impact, won numerous titles including the CRMW and the North American Tag Team Champions.
In 1994, Sudden Impact moved to Jim Cornette's Smokey Mountain Wrestling where their name was changed to the Thrill Seekers. After a year in Smokey Mountain Wrestling the Thrill Seekers decided to call it a day and split up as a tag team. Storm then decided to move his career away from the North American wrestling scene and began to wrestle around Europe and Japan, where he was involved in some classic matches.
In early 1997 Lance Storm signed with ECW and at the end of that year he won his first ECW title, the ECW tag titles with his then partner Chris Candido in a three way dance against Doug Furnas/Phil LaFon and Balls Mahoney/Axl Rotten. In mid 1998 Dawn Marie debuted as Lance Storm's valet and later that year he won his 2nd ECW tag title when he joined forces with Justin Credible to form the Impact Players. The team went on to loose the titles, only to win them for a 2nd time as a team, Lance's third in all.
In 2000, Storm announced that he was leaving ECW for WCW where he signed a three-year contract. Storm took WCW by storm (no pun intended) when he debuted in WCW and after no time at all he won the vacant U.S. Title. Some after he beat Big Vito for the Hardcore belt and Chavo Guerrero for the Cruiserweight title. After these feats 'Team Canada' was formed and they were well over as heels before loosing all three of the titles.
In 2001 the WWF bought WCW and picked up the best WCW talent, Storm was one of the wrestlers picked up first. On May 28, 2001 Lance Storm made history when he was the first WCW wrestler to invade WWF TV when he interrupted Monday Night Raw by super kicking Perry Saturn.
Lance Storm provides high flying moves with strong technical skills that deliver an exciting blend that make him one of the more entertaining wrestlers in the North American business today, one to watch for the future.
