Lance Storm Declares His In-Ring Career Is Over

Former WWE Superstar Lance Storm recently discussed whether he would return to in-ring action. During an interview with Daily Star, the former Intercontinental Champion said he is done with wrestling and has no intention of returning.

Storm explained that his body has told him the time is over. He said he feels good for the most part and is in decent shape, though he still deals with aches and pains. He noted that any bump can be a person’s last, and he is not willing to take part in an “okay match.”

He added, “My body has told me that I’m done. Well, like, I feel good for the most part. I’ve got aches and pains, but you always hear and see injuries, and you know that any bump can be your last. And it’s like, I got out in pretty good shape.”

He continued, “I’m very happy with what I did, and I’m very happy with what I’m doing. And my standards for myself are so high that I’m not going to put a shirt on and go out and have an okay match. So that day is behind me.”

Storm Comments On Why A Last Match With Former WWE World Champion Didn’t Happen

Storm also recalled that he and Chris Jericho had a pact to be each other’s last opponent. The match never took place because Jericho remained an active wrestler while Storm retired.

Storm said, “No, the bugger lasted too long. He’s still going. I didn’t expect him to still be wrestling this long. No, that was always—again, I don’t want to say it was always the plan. It was something we always sort of joked, that, ‘Oh, we really should do our last one together.’ And then eventually we sort of made the vow. It’s like, ’Yeah, let’s do that. That would be great.’”

Storm added, “But I’m a little bit older than Chris, and Chris has lasted a little bit longer than I have because he’s—dude’s indestructible. He just, for whatever reason, has had so few injuries and just keeps holding together.”

Storm said, “But yeah, no, my wife and I have decided my in-ring action is done, and so that last match with Chris Jericho, I just can’t fathom because I wouldn’t want to do just old-guy Lance Storm hanging in there, not having a Lance Storm match. That’s just not my style. So the one with Matt Hardy a decade ago is going to go down in the books as my last one.”
