“Isn’t Just About Getting Paid” – After Mickie James, Former WWE Superstar Takes an Attempt at Teaching Indie Wrestlers About Professionalism

There is endless professional advice for people out there. The rare the profession gets, the less the advice. Such is the case for pro wrestlers. Considering how only a few people consider going through with it as a profession, there are not many professional tips offered. Since WWE instills a lot of experience in its wrestlers, they can further spread the knowledge elsewhere.

Mickie James was recently caught teaching a lesson online to all the independent wrestlers. She had commented on this under a tweet that expected them to behave professionally, and then after her comment was posted, another former WWE joined her side to add to the story.

Ex-WWE stars haven’t forgotten their mannerisms

Both James and Lance Storm left WWE at different times. However, following whatever trend was set at the time, both joined ‘Impact Wrestling’ eventually. Since the two are acquainted prior to Impact, the discipline can be linked back to their WWE days. Being the leading sports entertainment company, WWE definitely has provided its stars with good training.

Once the event completes successfully, it is a humble practice to thank your hosts. Adding to this, Mickie James commented about how one should also leave the locker room cleaner than they found it. 

She also mentioned that this is a practice that not just indie, but all wrestlers, should preach. Further on, adding to the knowledge bank, Lance Storm commented under her tweet as well. “Being a ‘pro’ isn’t just about getting paid, act professionally,” wrote the 53-year-old. He clearly mentioned his expectations from all pro wrestlers. Fans even know for a fact that someone like The Undertaker can benefit from Storm’s advice.

What is the former WWE star doing now?

Lance Storm is best known for his time in WWE and WCW. He joined WCW in his younger days. Once WWE took over the company, Storm was one of the first WCW stars to invade a WWE match during the Invasion angle. Although the wrestler eventually retired from the ring in 2016, he did not leave the sport.

Storm has been working as a wrestling coach as well as an offstage producer. Although there were reasons for him not coaching or producing, he was back on track from 2022 onward. Currently, he is working as a coach and producer with Impact Wrestling.
