This is a pretty neat pairing of Storm and Helms. It may be a play on words as he's Storm and he's Hurricane, but the talent between them and the straight man-comedic duo trope is pretty cool for the short time they were together.

 

[Hoss]

Storm and Hurricane is a wild fucking team. But I think Big Show and Tajiri team up on this show too so they might not even be the strangest combo.

The logo's not meant to be in the circle You'll see it when you look a full post.

That tag match was also much better than I expected, it's like everyone was just "on" that night.

 

[Chris]

Ah okay good lol

 

[Hoss]

Kind of curious that they got Helms in as part of the Alliance but didn't keep his WCW gimmick throughout the Invasion

 

[Chris]

I rarely do that anymore I couldn't remember if posts just had the circle too

 

[Chris]

The Hurricane character just kept growing, they couldn't help it I think EC

 

[Ricky Smarks]

They did for a good chunk of it but Helms pitched it after Austin mocked his green lantern tattoo during a segment.

 

[Ricky Smarks]

WWE also didn't want him too use his Sugar Shane name for reasons

 

[O-Blaze]

This time last year, I would have said "Fuck the Hurricane." but now that I ain't blocked. I'm happy to see the guy!

 

[Ricky Smarks]

I'm actually kinda bugged Storm and Hurricane didn't team longer than the Invasion.

 

[Chris]

This avi looks sexy as hell next to a real post, thanks Smark

 

[Ricky Smarks]

You're welcome. I like it myself.

 

[Ricky Smarks]

I'd call them Tropical Storm.
