10 Best Rivalries In ECW History

8. Chris Candido vs. Lance Storm

Lance Storm and the late, great Chris Candido first crossed paths in Smoky Mountain Wrestling, where Storm beat Candido for the promotion’s TV Title. Clearly, neither man had forgotten, as when they met again in ECW, they couldn’t stand each other. 

The pair were at odds over a rumour that Sunny, Candido’s wife, had a thing for the world’s most serious man, which made things a little bit awkward considering that they were Tag Team Champions at the time. Despite their hatred for one another, per the word of Paul Heyman, neither man was allowed to cost the other the belts.

Cue several title defences where Candido and Storm would beat each other up as much as their opponents, but would somehow find a way to pick up the W. This was a very entertaining dynamic, helped by the fact that both men were excellent workers. After they dropped the straps, the former partners would have a series of matches that saw the introduction of Dawn Marie.
