Storm was always the star of AMW. Harris going to WWE by himself was like when WCW brought in Marty Jannetty. Harris was the one seen as the potential future star for years before the team broke up. When Storm was injured in early 2004 Harris got a short run at the main event level and did well. He was put back with Storm because they had their new TV deal so they defaulted all their titles (World -Jarrett, Tag-AMW, X-AJ). Its a mystery what happened with Harris. Its likely he was on performance enhancers but why he wouldnt do some situps as Lance Storm says makes no sense. Maybe he had some illness or injury. But I have never heard anything. I think the pressure got to him, honestly. That's the only thing I can think of that'd just cause some many asinine decisions.

Watching TNA at the time I was convinced Chris Harris was gonna be a massive star. I didn't see much in Storm as an individual until the heel turn. Storm was a much less developed performer than he would become. In retrospect the potential was there but Harris really stood out as the bigger potential break out for at least the first two years.
Then that fell flat, and once they turned heel Storm really started to standout.

The choice of singlet really didn't help. A more flashy design or whatever wouldn't have necessarily concealed things physique wise, but combine that with the gear he went with and it was just a low rent looking presentation all the way round.
