With only a few exceptions, there are no wrestlers as tightly connected to TNA as James Storm. Storm actually wrestled on the very first TNA show in 2002, then soon started teaming with Chris Harris. As "America's Most Wanted," the pair would become the top tandem of TNA's early years.

After six NWA World Tag Team Titles, the pair split, but Storm wouldn't be on his own for long. He joined forces with former Team Canada member Bobby Roode as "Beer Money," and once again, Storm was atop the company's tag team division. The pair split after five more tag team titles, but Storm managed to rack up a brief reign as TNA Heavyweight Champion.

In 2015, the wrestling world was shocked when Storm left TNA and turned up in NXT. He only competed in a couple of matches, though, then ended up returning to TNA when they gave him a better offer than WWE. Storm turns 40 on June 1, 2017, and it wouldn't be surprising if he were part of TNA for as long as the company exists.
