Several past ECW names have jumped at the chance to appear on the August 8 TNA “Hardcore Justice: The Last Stand” pay-per-view, but Lance Storm is not one of them. The wrestler publicly confirmed his rejection of TNA’s offer in a blog post this week.
“I was asked if I would be interested in taking part in the TNA: One Last Stand PPV,” summarized Storm. “I think it was big of them to extend me the offer, considering my general opinion of the TNA product, and want to I thank them for that, but I will not be taking part. ”
Storm pointed to his past criticism of TNA’s product, noting that it would be “hypocritical” to then appear on the promotion’s upcoming show.
He added, “I feel it would be hypocritical of me to work the show, considering my out outspoken views of the TNA product. I have a great deal of respect for the boys who will be working the show as well as the great workers on the TNA roster, but I have no desire to be a part of the TNA creative process. As for ECW, One Night Stand in 2005 was my farewell and am content in letting sleeping dogs lie.
