It makes you wonder, but if Lance Storm could talk better than he was allegedly allowed to, it makes me wonder if the ceiling could have been slightly higher on him. Maybe not as a full-time main event guy, but as an opponent in certain regions or someone who could have laid the foundations to be in that same sort of conversation with Chris Benoit and Chris Jericho as guys who should have been elevated at certain times.

You could argue Storm was better in the ring than both, and I've thought for years there was no reason why he couldn't have been seen on the same level as those two....
