10 Things WWE Wants You To Forget About Toni Storm

10. They Didn’t Make Her A Star

It's not the entire story though.

Truthfully, Toni Storm was well on her way to becoming a major force without WWE. Vinnie Mac may take that as a slap across the chops, but it's fact. She was on the rise before signing with the company, and was turning heads wherever she went on the variety-rich pro wrestling map.

Ask Progress Wrestling fans what they thought of Storm's work, or maybe consider revisiting her embarrassment of riches as part of the Stardom roster. Oh yes, Toni was making waves in those promotions, and also in others like Germany's wXw too.

WWE will not want people to think about that. They'd much rather folks believed that Storm needed them to endear herself towards wrestling fans. OK, so it's also true that WWE's platform is bigger than anyone else's, but that doesn't mean Toni wouldn't have thrived without inking a deal on McMahon-printed paper.
