Background Information:
Had qualified for the US Olympic Gymnastics team at age 18. Was set to compete until he broke his ankle during practice. Returned four years later as a coaching assistant but chose not to persue competing himself because he believed gymnastics was a "kid's sport" and that 22 was "too old" for competition. It was there that he met up with Tom Adler who was on hand observing the freestyle wrestling competitions. Adler introduced him to Dr. Thomas Knight, who had trained Adler a few years earlier. Together, Adler and Knight convinced Storm that he was perfectly suited for wrestling and began training him.
He had a memorable match in the AAWC as a rookie teaming with Adler against Arrogance. Storm took a hiatus from the sport, finding it difficult to get a foothold on his career. Returned a few years later to the UWA who, at the time, was highly interrested in unestablished talent. Quickly came at odds with the management of the UWA over the direction his career was taking, and the gimmicks they wanted him to persue. Began to realize that they saw him more as a highlight reel than a serious wrestler and began to vocalize his thoughts on it. He got over huge with the crowds who appreciated not only his willingness to put his body on the line, but his penchant for speaking his mind in what most viewed as "Shoot" interviews. "Shoot Storm Shoot" became the chant of the day, and opponents began to both fear him in the ring and hate him outside of it.
Moved up the ladder to be a contender to the UWA World Title. Was involved in perhaps one of the most memorable moments in UWA history when he put three wrestlers through three different tables simultaneously, securing his place as perhaps the most extreme athelete in wrestling.
Refused to curb the ocntent of his interviews at management's request, and chose to walk away from the federation instead. A move that ultimately ended his career as he effectively got blackballed by virtually every federation.
Returned to the UWA at May Maelstrom, attacking then UWA World Champion Carlos Canyita during an interview with Tom Adler. Adler, at Storm's request, made it known that Storm was back, but that he had no intentions of ever doing another mic spot again. That if professional wrestling couldn't deal with what he had to say, then he wouldn't say anything at all. To date, he has kept that promise.
Came to the UWA at Adler's request. Hasn't been as successful as he would like, but is patient and is enjoying the matches he's had thus far. Expected to be a break-out star for the future.
