Yesterday on his Twitter page, former WWE, WCW and ECW Superstar Lance Storm<\/strong> announced that he was spending the week at the WWE Performance Center<\/strong> in Orlando, Florida as a Guest Trainer. Apart from their own highly decorated coaching and training staff – including head trainers Matt Bloom<\/strong> and Sara Del Rey<\/strong>, as well as Norman Smiley, Shawn Michaels, Serena Deeb, Steve Corino, Robbie Brookside<\/strong> and others – the WWE Performance Center has routinely brought in guest trainers for special seminars, including the likes of CHIKARA<\/strong>‘s Mike Quackenbush<\/strong>, former Ring of Honor<\/strong> manager Truth Martini<\/strong>, former 4x IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champion Minoru Tanaka<\/strong>, former ECW World Champion Jerry Lynn<\/strong>, and most recently, The Outsiders<\/strong> (Scott Hall & Kevin Nash<\/strong>).<\/p>\n

Lance Storm is a graduate of the Hart Brothers Wrestling Camp<\/strong> in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, where he got his start with fellow WWE alumn Chris Jericho<\/strong> in 1990. He spent his early days with West Four Wrestling Alliance (WFWA)<\/strong> in Winnipeg, the Hart’s Stampede Wrestling<\/strong>, and Canadian Rocky Mountain Wrestling (CRMW)<\/strong>, as well as excursions to Japan with Wrestling Association “R” (WAR)<\/strong> and Otto Wanz<\/strong>‘s Catch Wrestling Association (CWA)<\/strong> based out of Austria, before returning to North America with Smokey Mountain Wrestling (SMW)<\/strong>. His early years saw him paired with Chris Jericho in the tag team, The Thrillseekers<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

In 1997, he joined Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW)<\/strong>, where he became a 3x ECW World Tag Team Champion, once with Chris Candido<\/strong>, and more famously as part of the Impact Players<\/strong> with Justin Credible<\/strong>. In 2000, Storm moved on to World Championship Wrestling (WCW)<\/strong>, where he formed a Team Canada (prior to Impact Wrestling’s version), that included fellow Canadian PCO<\/strong>, as well as “converted” Americans like “Hacksaw” Jim Duggan, Mike Awesome<\/strong> and Elix Skipper<\/strong>. During his time with WCW, Lance Storm won (and renamed) the WCW Cruiserweight Championship (renamed to the WCW 100kg Championship in honor of Canada using the metric system), WCW Hardcore Champion (renamed the\u00a0Saskatchewan\u00a0Hardcore International\u00a0Title – or S.H.I.T.), and was a 3x WCW United States (renamed Canadian) Champion.<\/p>\n

Following the demise of WCW, the WCW Invasion angle debuted with the first attack launched by Lance Storm on May 28, 2001, when he made a surprise run-in during a match between WWF Superstars Steve Blackman<\/strong> and Perry Saturn<\/strong> on Monday Night Raw<\/strong><\/em>, officially launching the WCW Invasion of WWE, in his home of Calgary, Alberta.<\/p>\n
