One thing that is very common in the world of professional wrestling is wrestlers give his or her finishing and signature moves a name that resonates with his or her gimmick. But it seems like Lance Storm is not a fan of that.
Recently, the former WWE Superstar sat down for an interview with Chris Van Vliet on his Insight podcast. During the interview, Lance Storm claimed that he thinks that naming moves based on their gimmicks is dumb.
“I just think it’s all dumb. I used to joke with Edge because I always used to laugh at Edge because he had the Edgecution, Educator and there was a brief period of time where he was trying to get over a sort of reverse sharpshooter. You start with the Sharpshooter but then you spin to your belly, but you stay facing [the opponent]. And he was like trying to come up with a name and I joked just call it the Edgelicious,” Lance Storm said.
Lance Storm also opens up about potentially facing Chris Jericho
For a long time, Storm has been claiming to want to wrestle The Ocho Chris Jericho in his final match. During the same interview with Vliet, opened up about the possibility of that match happening.
“You’re omitting the next sentence where he said he doesn’t want to put an expiry date on his career and actually pick an endpoint. But it’s funny because the building is still there. I went to a wrestling show there a few years ago. But I remember Jericho, he was at a concert in Edmonton. On the drive back, he pulled into Ponoka and went to the building and took a photo out front. And he sent me the photo and then I was going up to Edmonton a few months later or whatever I’m like, I’m gonna stop in too. I stopped with a buddy of mine.
“And I had the photo of the Jericho sent me and I tried to stand where I would stand if I was beside him and like stood with my arm out like this. I’m like someone’s gonna Photoshop these two together. And so I sent to him the photo of me standing in the same spot and then I had a bunch of people in the Observer message board do some Photoshop for me to get this put together.”
Do you think Jericho and Storm will have that wrestling match?
