10 Wrestlers Who Were Supposed To Get Other Wrestlers Over (But Got Over Themselves)

10. The Hurricane (Lance Storm)

Lance Storm was a promising WCW incomer during the second half of 2001. The former United States Champ had a worthwhile IC Title cracker with Edge at SummerSlam and looked destined to become another midcard success story for the federation. The only problem was that Lance didn't have much charisma.

The Hurricane had bags of the stuff.

That pair formed a superhero-esque tag late in the year, and it was blatantly designed to help give Storm some purpose following his loss to Edge. The WWF didn't account for one thing: Hurricane got over as feck almost immediately - fans couldn't get enough of his hokey antics and geeky references to comic book culture.

It didn't take long before Lance was left eating Hurri-dust. His so-called support act partner went on to become a stalwart of the Cruiserweight scene for years, and even helped others like Molly Holly and Rosey prolong their careers.
