Lance Storm - Was dubbed "boring" by his employers in WWE

Lance Storm, the talented Canadian was one of the few success stories in the latter days of WCW's existence.

Debuting in the company on June 19 2000, he quickly won the United States, Cruiserweight, and Hardcore Championships, becoming the first (and only) man to hold three titles simultaneously in the company.

From there, he engaged in a memorable World Championship feud with WCW Champion, Booker T.

Storm signed with then WWF the following year, following the buyout of WCW, but failed to gain traction in front of the WWF audience.

He won the Intercontinental Championship, and was portrayed as a serious threat in the ring, but the company gave him almost no mic time, and the personality he had demonstrated in WCW was nowhere to be seen.

Perplexingly, WWE decided to promote the fact that it had done a mediocre job of utilising Storm to his full potential in 2003, when he was featured in a rivalry with Raw General Manager Stone Cold Steve Austin who repeatedly dubbed him "boring" and would take a nap on the stage while Storm's matches were in progress.

Storm never recovered from that humiliation, and finally resigned from the company in mid 2005 to open his own wrestling school.
