A few years ago, World Wrestling Entertainment went through a phase of favouring clean-cut wrestlers who didn't have long hair or a beard. That has since changed, which is why guys like Bray Wyatt have made such a splash. With his unique look, Wyatt stands out. That's something James Storm could do, because he is what he is, a Cowboy-style redneck. Far from a slight, the man has said this on many occasions himself. There's a real honesty to his wrestling character, because fans can see that it's genuine and far from put on for the benefit of the cameras. For Storm, the chance to showcase himself in the biggest company around would likely be a true thrill. He's very family-driven, so unlikely to make mistakes that would paint the promotion in a bad light. Drinking beer regularly on television - a Storm hallmark - may not appeal to WWE's corporate sponsors. That could easily be rectified, because it's not all that the man has to offer. It'd be advisable for Storm to continue wearing his Cowboy and trucker-style gear, because that's part of what makes him so instantly recognisable. If WWE were interested, that look would have to come with the package, it'd be silly to change it.
