What he lacks in charisma he's more than made up for in technical skill IMO I'd just like to say, that Storm does not lack charisma. You can have tonnes of charisma without looking like the Rock, or John Cena. Watch Storm's WCW run. That guy could hook a crowd and make them hate him in seconds. His WWE run, ya he didn't show much charisma but when given the chance he was pretty damn good

And to those talking about his spell checking...that's just nitpicking to the highest degree. Seriously. It's not nitpicking. It's freaking lazy! He makes a good 5-10 spelling mistakes per blog. That's unacceptable. The guy probably types his blog on MS word for goodness sakes. I dunno. If I was in Lance Storm's position, where I am a respected wrestler and a known blogger, I would take the extra 10 seconds to spell check. When you are someone in his position, it just looks bad that he spelt illustrated,satellite, disturbing, explanations, etc wrong. With all his spelling mistakes, which could easily be corrected via spell-check, he comes across as being un-educated.

Haha, explanation on a pole match. I'd fly to Florida and buy nose bleed seats to Mania for this match.

It's not like he's writing for an important newspaper or anything when he writes them. When he writes for the Calgery Sun or for FSN here in the UK, he'd take the time to check his spelling because he's being payed to write for them and people are paying to read it. He also doesn't have editors watching his every sentence to check everything he writes. I just don't think it's a legitimate reason to shun someone's opinion because they can't spell a few words other people find difficult right. He might even be too busy to check his spelling considering the schedule he has with the school he runs. If he was writing like Doych as other Wrestlers do in their blogs *coughashleymartyjannettyroadkillcough* then I'd see what you mean.

Even if you're jobbing in the WWE, you're still more successful than most people who never make it out of the backyard. So true. An indy wrestler is competing against literally thousands just so they can have a contract to the WWE. Being on the E alone means you have done something that indy wrestlers haven't done. I just find it funny how a people with no knowledge of wrestling other than speculating about it in forums would tell someone like Lance Storm he hasn't accomplished much. Its asinine.

I don't understand people sometimes. He puts his opinions on because well, people want to hear them, because the opinions of a legit professional wrestler may matter more to some people then some of the glorified smart marks that write their opinions.

Spelling has nothing to do with how knowledgeable a person is on a topic. When I take my car to a mechanic and he doesn't speak in very good English, it doesn't make me doubt that he can fix my car. Lance Storm is very educated in the wrestling business, so whether or not he spells his opinions right or writes with proper grammar it doesn't mean he is any less right or wrong.

Spelling doesn't matter, World Titles don't matter, not being the biggest guy in the company DOESN'T MATTER. Lance is a very professional human being and frankly, if he makes a few spelling mistakes oh well. He IS human after all. Lance actually takes time out of his very busy schedule to keep in contact with all of his fans (unlike Disco Inferno who is the dumbest guy to be respected in this business). Lance runs a school, has a wife and kids, writes for Fight Network and other sites/papers, does guest commentary on a lot of wrestling radio shows, and yet still finds time to reply to every single email the man gets.
As far as not being charismatic, that is a bunch of sh*t. Back in ECW he could make people love him and hate him at the drop of the hat along with PJ.

" - My proposed explinations are as follows: 1. We were kind of hoping you'd have forgot about all that other stuff by now. 2. I'm Vince McMahon, I don't have to explain myself to you! 3. We've hired Vince Russo back, where do you think we got the idea for this Pole Match? 4. We are sorry but our Wellness Policy does not apply to the Creative Team."
Best _________ on a pole match EVER!

people are going to find the dumbest reason possible to completely discredit lance storm. he's done more with his career than any of you have done in the wrestling business.
and to the guy talking about how he'd take him more seriously if he spell checked...
It's "spelled" not "spelt"

What if he was giving a speech about fixing cars to hundreds of other mechanics? Would his speaking ability matter then?

Why is Lance Storm, an actual wrestler who's been in the wrestling business, not allowed to complain about wrestling but we are? Because a bunch of kids on the internet have credible opinions because they know what the words, "workrate", "shoot" and "kayfabe" mean. /sarcasm

Smarks like to think that only their opinion matters and even if you're a former wrestler, you have no right judging things because you don't watch WWE 24/7 and visit PWI 60 times an hour. You can thank that idiot Meltzer for all of those smarks by the way.

Apparently cause he didn't do much while wrestling, but you aren't allowed to use that cause it's considered a stupid point. ....yet Disco Inferno is fair game cause he's Disco Inferno and we don't like him. In Storm's defense, he wasn't involved in booking a product that sped up the demise of a nine figure wrestling federation.

But in his anti-defense(offense? ), he was involved in booking a product that ended up hurting and eventually bringing down a cult fed using that brand of logic.

It's not Storm's fault that Heyman was atrocious with the bottom line.
