WWE: 10 Great Wrestlers Who Are Now Retired

8. Lance Storm

Lance Storm Lance Storm is technically semi retired. He will work usually One or Two matches a year in developing promotions, mostly out of love of wrestling. Lance is set for life, he doesn't need to be working any matches. But for example, when a promoter rings him up and offers him a bout in Ring of Honor in 2006 with Daniel Bryan, Lance will of course go along for the ride. He is however officially retired, having done so quietly in 2004. He then got a proper send off against best friend Chris Jericho at ECW One Night Stand in 2005, remarkable considering his first ever match was also against Jericho. Storm is one of the smoothest wrestlers ever. He seems almost effortless in the ring, administering submission holds in fluid motion and as skilled a mat wrestler as anyone. His top rope moves are exhilarating too. Perhaps the real testament to Storm's quality is that he never once had an injury or injured an opponent, this despite working in the hostile ECW. Storm is one of the few pro wrestlers who has never needed a surgery. Storm held titles in WCW, ECW and WWE but never really made the main events due to a lack of charisma, which Steve Austin infamously lampooned with "Boring" chants on Raw in 2003. Storm went on to work for WWE in development, and helped to train talents including Mickie James and Dolph Ziggler. He now works for himself, training wrestlers up in Canada in his Storm Wrestling Academy.
