All systems are gathered.

Ladies and gentlemen, Chris Van Blea.

Ah, yes, my friends, welcome back to another one here on Insight.

I'm CVV, Chris Van Vleet.

So good to see you here.

And thank you for making us one of the top wrestling podcasts in the world by coming back

each and every episode. And if by chance, this is your first episode, first of all, thank you,

welcome. I hope you enjoy this enough to want to go back through the back catalog and listen to

some other conversations that we've had. Interviews with people like The Undertaker, Cody Rhodes, Lita, L.A. Knight, yeah, Tony Kahn,

Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Rock, and about, I think, 500 others. This is episode number

509 here. And it's with Lance Storm. I say it at the start of this interview, but this is someone I've

wanted to talk to probably longer than anybody else in the wrestling industry. And that's because

Lance and I both went to the same college. Not at the same time, but we both went to Wilford

Laurier University in Waterloo, Ontario. That's where I studied communication studies.

It's, I guess, partly the reason that I'm doing what I'm doing now. But it was good to be able to talk

to Lance about that thing that we had in common that I feel like it's so rare. I don't know any other, like,

certainly not wrestlers, that went to Lurier.

So it was cool to be able to talk to him about that and for that to be like the common grounds that we have here.

He also has just such a unique perspective because he was in ECW, WCW and WWE all within like a two year stretch.

So he saw it all from the good to the bad to everything in between.

And of course, yes, we talk about his catchphrase,

if I could be serious for a minute and how it wasn't even really a catchphrase.
