My favourite Lance is his "gimmick" was that he was that jacked but not on roids. Its funny both because it was a sideways acknowledgement of endemic steroid abuse still and also Lance pretty clearly was roiding.

He wasn't.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

I hope Lance was juicing because it makes all his steroid ranting into a really funny running gag.

Shark Boy had already died before the match, which is probably why you failed to remember him.

Look that poo poo was on the right side of a fever dream. I couldn’t even begin to accurately explain half the stuff TNA has done over the years. There’s just too much madness to contain.

Finally looked up Kweewee on wikipedia, its so out of date it lists his current occupation as an exotico in Lucha Libre USA.

Some of the turns of phrase Dave uses are really, really unintentionally funny. When he was responding to some asking if Fox was angry Vince went with USA for NXT:

Dave: There’s some egg on their face. But it’s private egg.

I was dying.

I can't remember if it was WWE or WCW, but I remember a show where Lance was doing the "stand stoic while the Canadian national anthem played" bit and then he suddenly started corpsing because there was a kid running around with an "EAT ME" sign by the hard camera.

Anyway, Lance Storm rules.

His physique isn't abnormal, he didn't suffer injuries related to steroid use, his workouts are in keeping with someone who would have a tremendous physique and was known not to do any drugs by those around him.

He had a long-standing book deal on the table from a major publisher. But has since said he'd never write it as it would take him away from writing the Observer.

Personally got the impression certain key people will never talk (Pat Patterson types) and others have died (Ed Cohen types) in the interim. Also, the publishing industry is a lot different than 10 plus years ago. The Wrestling book market has definitely dried up compared to the late 90s-mid 00s boom.

I know it's a different era now, but straight up, as a subscriber, I'd be cool with Dave not doing the Observer for a month (because, let's be honest, as much as he writes on a weekly basis, he'd probably get the manuscript done then) so we could get a VKM book.

Somebody asked Lance how he stayed looking so serious when funny poo poo happened and he said he'd just think of how much more money Lex Luger made than him.

Also infuriating Bryan mistakes, where he completely confused what Lance told him, and gave the Jacques Rougeau story as PCO's story.

Admittedly the PCO story was hilarious for another reason. They never intended to get him a Visa and just wanted him for a week. They brought him in, gave him a championship just so he could lose it, and then he immediately disappeared.

I mean what I saw was people either saying "only because of WWE" or "but he's not a household name, how can he be a mega star".

No one is a mega star in WWE by that metric.
