| QUOTE |
Lance Storm has won titles everywhere he has gone from Japan to SMW to ECW to WCW to WWE. He retired from the ring last June with no reason to ever return. Now Storm has the itch and it is all because of one athlete. He has found his love for the sport of pro wrestling again and it is because of ROH World Champion Bryan Danielson.
Storm and Danielson came face-to-face at "Steel Cage Warfare" on December 3rd. Storm told Danielson that if he were ever to come out of retirement it would be to wrestle someone like him. Since that time the itch began to grow in Storm and he felt the need to return to the ring to compete against Danielson.
Storm has signed one of Bryan Danielson's open contracts for a World Title shot. It will be Lance Storm vs. Bryan Danielson for the ROH World Title on April 1st in Chicago (ROHwrestling.com, 215-781-2500, Ticketmaster outlets for tickets and info). Of course, Danielson must still be champion on April 1st. Even if Danielson loses the belt, it will still be Danielson vs. Storm on 4/1 in Chicago.
"After a 10 month absence, I will be returning to active competition April 1st to challenge the current ROH World Champion Bryan Danielson," Storm said. "I now have 10 weeks to get myself in the best shape of my life. I have never been more focused or set in a direction as I am right now. My only hope is that he is still the Champion come April 1st as a World Title run is the only thing that has eluded me in my career." |
This should rock. Discuss.

It should be decent. It's nothing that'll get my boxers in a bunch though.

My boxers are currently bunched.
This is one of the first ROH shows to ever get me excited.

I was considering trying to Road trip to this anyway, now I may have to seriously try to pull it off.

This is yawn inducing for me. Storm hasn't been in a good match since Summerslam 2001. Danielson's reign has been pretty mired in boring title defenses or defenses like the Hero one where it's impossible to care because you know the challenger isn't winning.

It can be decent, but that's it. People will probably love it for the technical work etc, but it'll probably have little to no character work at all. Which will make it boring.

Ring-rust is a bitch, plus the fact Storm was never that good to begin with doesn't really seem like that big of an attraction. Oh, and he gives the worst chair shots. :D

Storm was the man in WCW. I mean seriously, between Lance Storm and the Natural Born Thrillers, there was some good stuff on WCW tv in 2000.
I would very much like to see his match against Danielson. Knowing Storm, he will make sure he's in top ring shape for the match. When Vince McMahon bought WCW in 2001, Storm was one of the few who actually put effort into keeping himself in top ring shape for whenever he would be needed again. Based on the first couple of performances by WCW stars on WWF tv that year, he was one of the few who did.

My friends aren't too pumped to see this, they've never heard of Danielson and remember Storm as that "boring" guy. It's gonna take some convincing (or hopefully some awesome matches) to get them to go to this instead of the WM Fanfest...
