Storm Speaks to ROH Stars, Marvel on ECW Champ
To Lance Storm, pro wrestling is an art form and the ring his canvas. No matter the promotion, he painted a number of masterpieces throughout his career, earning the respect of fans and peers with his unmitigated technical prowess.
After spending two decades perfecting his skills, the veteran passes his knowledge to wrestling students at his Storm Wrestling Academy in Calgary, Alberta, Canada and others.
When Ring of Honor makes its Toronto debut on Friday, July 25, Storm will speak with ROH stars, lending advice. He will also follow the group to Detroit the following night for its pay-per-view taping.
”I’m really excited about it,” Storm said. “It’s an amazing atmosphere. The crowd is its own different entity, and it’s so much more energetic than a lot of other promotions. It’s a lot of fun to be around, and the locker room is really cool, too. I’m looking forward to doing it again.”
The last time Storm was part of ROH he had a classic confrontation with Bryan Danielson. This time Storm, 39, is retired from active competition. So his ROH return will be a non-wrestling role. Storm confronts, helps aspiring talent
-What does a 400-pound WWE Superstar read on his down time? Anything he wants…especially when that anything comes from the House of Ideas.
“The World’s Strongest Man” Mark Henry stands tall as one of World Wrestling Entertainment’s fiercest, most destructive forces and—after recently taking the title during Night of Champions—the reigning ECW champion. But Henry is one giant soothed not by music, but by Marvel Comics.
“I’ve been reading comics since I was a young kid,” recalls Henry. “But I’ve been more serious as an adult because it’s the only thing that entertains me other than wrestling. It’s so interactive and you can take your mind to a place that is real to you.” Fightin’ Fanboys: WWE’s Mark Henry
