10 WWE Stables You Totally Don't Remember
4. The Un-Americans
Canada vs. America has been one of wrestling’s most leaned-on storylines over the years. Every major North American promotion has ran the angle to varying degrees of success, with Bret Hart leading the charge in WWE, Lance Storm in WCW, and, ahem, Scott D’Amore in TNA.
The quality of these stories has frequently veered between “great” and “terrible” (usually the latter), and The Un-Americans are rarely ever mentioned. Formed in June 2002, Lance Storm took to claiming that WWE had been discriminating against Canadian wrestlers for years, and soon recruited has tag team partner Christian and Test to his cause.
Each member suffered a loss due to refereeing incompetence in the lead-up to their formation, hence the “discrimination” angle, and they regularly carried upside down American flags to the ring. The Un-Americans made several attempts to publicly burn the American flag throughout August and September, but were always stopped and beaten-up by wrestlers like Bradshaw and Kane.
Time saw the stable bolster their ranks with William Regal, but the four-man group didn’t last long. They split into two groups of two after a series of tag losses, and while Regal and Storm’s anti-American sentiments remained intact, Christian and Test’s soon faded away.
