Former WWE wrestler and producer Lance Storm has started having nightmares about Raw on Netflix. No, seriously. During a recent edition of Wrestling Observer Live, the respected veteran revealed that he recently had a bad dream that actually started off innocently enough. In fact, he was quite excited.

Lance told listeners/viewers that he was backstage at Raw as part of the active roster and got word that he'd be wrestling Shawn Michaels that night. Excited, he asked producers and Vince what the plan was for the match. That's when they produced an iPad which was infested with pesky pop-up ads.

Nobody could close the pop-ups fast enough to clue Storm in on the match layout, which led to him getting more and more frustrated. "I figure I'm gonna miss my match with Shawn Michaels because of all these bloody ads". Then, just as he was about to blow up about the whole thing, Lance woke up instead and realised that he'd been dreaming.

"I woke up furious and realised that this is the anger I get from watching Raw with ads. That it’s now into my brain and I’m having bad dreams based on my life in wrestling being ruined by ads".

That, dear readers, is tremendous.

TKO/WWE has been criticised for the live viewing experience on Netflix since jumping to the premium subscription service. Things are so infuriating that even wrestling legends are starting to have actual nightmares about the number of ad breaks they're forced to sit through when tuning in.
