10 Underrated WWE Superstars Who Shouldn’t Have Been Released

8. Lance Storm

Wrestlers trained by Stu Hart have historically experienced a lot of success. Outside of Hart€™s extended family, Brian Pillman, Chris Jericho, and Jushin Liger, all received training in the infamous Hart Dungeon at one point, and all of those men experienced success in professional wrestling. Another wrestler who went through the dungeon but was incredibly underrated in WWE was Lance Storm. A truly skilled technician, Storm was a no-nonsense wrestler whose gimmick was, well, being serious and humorless all the time. He was also part of the €˜Un-Americans€™ which certainly helped build heat in the United States, especially in segments that involved attempting to desecrate the American flag. Through multiple tag team title reigns, his stock in WWE was slowly rising. Then, in 2003, Storm became involved in a program with €˜Stone Cold€™ Steve Austin, who would encourage fans to chant €˜Boring€™ during Storm€™s matches, and even snored while holding the microphone. While this might€™ve been a simple comedy sketch, it could also have been a message to Storm from the WWE€™s top brass to improve on his charisma. Either way, that really slowed his rise. Eventually, Storm retired from active wrestling and became a trainer, opening the Storm Wrestling Academy in Calgary. That has proven to be a more successful career path for him, as he has trained many bigger WWE stars, including Mickie James and Dolph Ziggler. It would seem that being a trainer is more worthwhile for him than wrestling for WWE.
