No....No...No We're just deciding what cutesy name WE the IWC will give them Like BlackGold. Or SuckaDust or Gold T Ohhhhhhh, ok. First we'll call them "pretty damn entertaining". Then as time goes by they'll be "ok now, this is getting fucking stupid". Eventually, before it's all said and done, we'll know them as "are they trying to destory Lance and Dustin's careers forever". Honestly, I can't think of any good name to call them, at least not any combination of their names or anything. I like Seriously Charismatic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Army Eye Report post Posted July 27, 2003 RAW writer Brian Gewirtz is pushing the Lance Storm “boring” gimmick to set up for a comedy tag team in the future. The plan is to have Storm team up with a semi-main-eventer and do skits of the superstar trying to teach Storm how to be charismatic, but he just won’t getting it. Exactly what they did with Al Snow and Steve Blackman. It did kind of get Blackman over too, IIRC. Not that Storm needs it, he can get over as a heel just fine if he's given the chance, but whatever, management has made up their mind that he is boring.

Guest vincecima Report post Posted July 27, 2003 The entire FBI has been sent over to OVW because there is simply no place for them in WWE right now, according to management. Hmm, lets see. As a stable, they are tough opponents for midcard faces and can be sacrificed to a rising face to give him some rub. Also they can hang with top guys using their mob and heel tactics. Nunzio can be the shooter/techincal cruiser that does his best to ground some of the other flyers. Stamboli and Palumbo are a tough bruiser tag team right under TWGTT that the challenging face team beats to gain credibility. That took all of one minute, and people who get paid to sit in a room can't do it, sad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Insane Bump Machine Report post Posted July 27, 2003 The entire FBI has been sent over to OVW because there is simply no place for them in WWE right now, according to management. If they'd cut the McMahon TV time every week in half (they could cut it completely, but let's keep an ounce of realism) they would have plenty of time and a place for a good midcard heel stable like the FBI. It's not like Smackdown is stacked with credible heel tag teams or good cruiserweight heels. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Insane Bump Machine Report post Posted July 27, 2003 This is also a prime example of WWE not planning anything through. They produced all those FBI vignettes, gave them matching outfits and everything. And now it's obvious that the only thing they had really planned for them was the feud against Taker and Jones (who they'll meet again in OVW now), where they'd of course be squashed. Because since then they have done jack shit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not that Storm needs it, he can get over as a heel just fine if he's given the chance, but whatever, management has made up their mind that he is boring. If teaming with Al Snow gets Blackman over, they should team Lance with him instead of someone higher up on the card. Plus, it's not like Al is doing anything right now. As a bonus, we don't have to struggle to come up with a witty name. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you: SNOWSTORM! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Deviant Report post Posted July 27, 2003 Snow Storm was one of the names that Snow proposed that he and Blackman use. Remember the yellow raincoat and kiddy umbrella? List of guys that would work well with Lance Storm: Al Snow, Chris Jericho(just because there is no god, and he's not going anywhere anyway), Goldust, RVD and Hurricane(despite the stupid Rosey thing)... and for the truly sick, how about Rico? Speaking of which, with Hurricane/Rosey and this proposed Lance Storm team, isn't that the same gimmick twice on the one show? That's a bit too stupid even for Raw, right? And no, you don't need to point out which writing team it is... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cherry Blossom Viscount 0 Report post Posted July 27, 2003 Sigh, the FBI was just getting over too..... It was always hilarious to see Palumbo wrestle with that stupid cigar in his mouth, and the fact that he never smoked it was even better. Oh well. Oh, here's a golden oldie quote.... "Why does Booker T always get the shit tag team partners." -Posted the first night heel Booker and heel Goldust teamed up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest FeArHaVoC Report post Posted July 27, 2003 Best thing they could do at this point is turn Storm face. WWE fans are trained to have their heels be goofy or badass' and Storm doesn't fit either. Storm could finally get over as a side kick to Goldust, Hurricane or RVD. Goldust/Storm sounds the best to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Lil Naitch Report post Posted July 27, 2003 I like the idea of Storm/Goldy. That has money written all over it. But when the hell did they say the freakin' EASTER BUNNY would be in the APA Brawl for All? On behalf of the Jews everywhere, I say that Chanukah Harry Runs in and costs him the win.
