'''[[Lance Storm (Wrestling)|Lance Storm]]''' (real name Lance Evers) is a professional wrestler best known for his time in [[ECW]], [[WCW]], and [[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).
Line 22:
* [[Do Not Call Me Paul]]: He really doesn't like fans using his real ''last'' name.
* [[Foreign Wrestling Heel]]: As part of the UnAmericans. "America Sucks," indeed.
* [[Fun Withwith Acronyms]]: Saskatchewan Hardcore Invitational Title.
* [[Gag Penis]]
* [[Gone Horribly Right]]: When [[Stone Cold Steve Austin]] called Lance boring, it just killed Lance's heat.
Line 28:
* [[Meaningful Rename]]: In WCW, renamed the United States Heavyweight Title to Canadian Heavyweight Title, the Hardcore Title to Saskatchewan Hardcore Invitational Title, and the Cruiserweight Title to The 100kg and Under Title.
* [[One of Us]]: As seen on his blog after his retirement, [[Lance Storm]] is a smark of the highest order.
* [[Shout -Out]]: The Impact Players name was a reference to Sudden Impact, the name for Jericho and Lance in Japan. Their victory pose was lifted directly from the [[Shawn Michaels]] / [[Kevin Nash|Diesel]] and [[D Generation X]] victory pose (Justin Credible was linked to [[The Kliq]]).
* [[Still Got It]]: After retiring, when he came back to wrestle [[Bryan Danielson]] (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 [[Ring of Honor]] fans (along with chants of [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|"Thank You Lance!" and "Please Come Back!"]]).
** Six years later, he made another appearance in [[Ring of Honor|ROH]] to face Mike Bennett, which was almost as well received. Lance might not wrestle very often anymore, but he make sure it's worth it when he does.
* [[The Stoic]]: Almost never smiles. This extends to his personal life too.
* [[Ten -Minute Retirement]]: Originally intended to retire following a match against Jericho at ECW One Night Stand. He's since wrestled a few matches since his supposed retirement, but these matches almost always involve other close friends of his such as [[The Wrestling Observer Newsletter|Bryan Alvarez]], [[Christian]], and ECW alumni. One notable exception was a match against [[Bryan Danielson]] at [[Ring of Honor]].
* [[Trademark Favorite Food]]: Cracker Barrel. He actually carries around a map showing every Cracker Barrel location when he travels to the U.S.
* [[Too Many Belts]]: Held three titles at once in WCW.
Line 38:
* [[Unrelated Brothers]]: According to Lance Storm, the Hardy Boys, The Steiner Brothers, The Usos and the Mcmahons are not really related. The only real siblings in professional wrestling are him and Victoria.
* [[Vitriolic Best Buds]]: With [[Chris Jericho]]. While he credits Jericho for keeping him in the business, he would also shoot down any of Chris's lame ideas for ring names, finishers, etc. with brutal honestly.
* [[Wearing a Flag Onon Your Head|Wearing A Flag On Your Tights]]: Before switching to the aforementioned [[Underwear of Power]], his tights were in red and white Canadian colors.
* [[X Meets Y]]: Style is a blend of [[Bret Hart]]-esque mat and submission wrestling and high flying similar to a young [[Shawn Michaels]]. He's even used both of their finishers (Sharpshooter and Superkick) at various points of his career.
