Terrible. Storm has always been extremely overrated to me & annoying as hell. There's nothing original about him whatsoever. He took the beer drinking gimmick from Austin & Sandman, uses Sweet Chin Music as his finisher, & does the code breaker as a regular move. And he's looked like shit for the past 2 or 3 years.

I like him but he's really let himself go. I'd rather they kept Bad Influence.

Wonder how much of a pay cut he took? Anyway, good for TNA, potentially losing 3 former world champs along with 2 other cornerstones of your company in less than 6 months would not be pretty. Then again losing two former world champs and two cornerstones isn't exactly a ringing endorsement either.

TNA scooping people up before they jump to Jarrett's promotion. Can't blame them.
Not a fan though. Not a fan.

I figured Storm would re-sign with TNA because his options outside TNA were limited. WWE doesn't want him. None of your bigger indies would be trip over themselves looking for his services. New Japan might but they are going for certain types of gaijins for the roster and Storm doesn't fit the requirements. Wrestle-1 only got 1 spot for foreigners and Rob Terry got it. Double J's promotion is still in the pupa stage. So it was either re-sign with TNA or prepare to wrestle around the Mid South area gyms. I do wonder who are the other wrestlers who are taking a pay cut.

That's why he came back after the Aces and Eight beatdown because he took TNA's deal for less money. I wonder if this the reason why Sabin and Aries are being freezed out. I know that's the reason for Bad Influence's disappearance.

I think if Storm had chosen to leave TNA and spent like a year building up a good name on the indie's the WWE might've gotten interested in bringing him in.

Storm is like the most successful unsuccessful wrestler in history. He is an 'almost' guy his entire career, even as a former champion. Never a great wrestler, but still pretty good. He has peaked and it's all downhill from here.

Happy for him. Pity it's fashionable to hate him these days, he's a good pair of hands and helps elevate others

Storm lost a lot of career momentum in 2012 with the loss to Bobby Roode at lockdown.
Ever since, he has just , kinda been going through the motions. I thought they should have let him go last year really.
