#4 Lance Storm
With the reputation of being one of the greatest technical wrestlers on the planet, Lance Storm found initial success during his run with Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW). Storm immediately made a name for himself by working technically sound matches, while the other performers worked a more hardcore style. During ECW’s final days, Storm jumped ships to WCW, becoming one of the top talents in the company. Storm won the United States title, the Cruiserweight title, and the Hardcore championship simultaneously, becoming the only wrestler to do so in WCW history!
After WWE bought WCW, Storm was the first performer to “invade” WWE, thus kick starting the Invasion angle. Storm then won the WWE Intercontinental title, but was quickly pushed under the rug, as Vince McMahon chose to make the Invasion angle about the WWE superstars rather than the WCW and ECW talent. Storm was never able to regain his lost popularity, as he retired from the WWE and started performing on the independent scene.
It was a shame that Storm was never given his due recognition, as he could’ve been the next best wrestler emerging from Canada in the WWE after the retirement of Bret Hart.
