'''[[Lance Storm]]''' (real name Lance Evers) is a professional wrestler best known for his time in [[ECW]], [[WCW]], and [[World Wrestling Entertainment|WWE]]. He started training alongside fellow Canadian wrestler [[Chris Jericho]], with whom he would team with and occasionally feud with off an on around the world. After a brief tenure in [[Jim Cornette|Smokey Mountain Wrestling]] they went their separate ways (though both ended up in the same promotions, it was never at the same time till 2002).
 
Lance Storm found success in ECW tagging with Chris Candido and later forming the Impact Players with Justin Credible, with the beautiful Dawn Marie by their side. Eventually he left for WCW, where he is best known for holding the United States, Cruiserweight, and Hardcore Championships at once (though only for a week before vacating the latter two).
 
Lance later started working for the [[WWE]] when they purchased WCW in 2001, being the first WCW wrestler to win a WWE Title. He was fairly successful in the WWE, winning several mid-card titles and forming a successful [[Foreign Wrestling Heel]] Tag Team with [[Christian]], who won the Tag Team Championship from [[Edge]] and [[Hulk Hogan]], of all people. He also had a similar run with [[William Regal]] 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, Alberta, Canada. He is also a regular guest on [[The Wrestling Observer Newsletter|Figure Four Daily]] with Bryan Alvarez.
