10 Moments Wrestlers NEVER Recovered From
10. Lance Storm Is “Boring”
Steve Austin had the power to veto this woeful creative.
He didn't. So, on the 16 June 2003 edition of Raw, then-GM 'Stone Cold' literally brought out a pillow and snored during Lance Storm's match vs. Garrison Cade. This was all part of a campaign to encourage fans to view Storm as painfully snooze-worthy, and nobody's quite sure why it was booked at all.
Lance might not have been The Rock verbally, but he was a rock solid technician between the ropes. Surely leaning on his strengths rather than any weaknesses would've been the way to go, but no - WWE campaigned to have fans change the channel from their own show whenever Storm was on air.
Unsurprisingly, this failed to do anything for Lance or authority figure Austin. It was a complete waste of TV time. Storm didn't get the chance to put things right either, because he retired as a WWE full-timer in 2004. Let's hope he hurled abuse at creative on the way out.
