Yeah I can only imagine that either Lance has decided to just retire entirely from wrestling (seems unlikely to me, but who knows) or that one or another company has offered him a huge amount of money out of fear of him going somewhere else. I'd say WWE is more likely in that case.

He has said his kids are old enough now he can go on the road for a light schedule and received an offer he liked.

I should say this is almost certainly backstage. Part of the reason he wants to stop SWA is his body is hurting.

Oh in that case, I guess it could be AEW or could just as easily be a continuation of the work he's already been doing with Impact.

as long as Lance keeps doing shows with Bryan i'll be happy. I really love listening to Lance. He has very smart and interesting takes on the business without veering into "here's the way it is you stupid fuckin' marks" the way other veterans like al snow do

Lance Storm closing his school is a crazy to me because he loved being a teacher at his own place on his own terms.

If he gave that up for Impact...

I mean, if he can make good money as a backstage person then he’s a tremendous asset because I love how he talks about ideas and what’s right/wrong with wrestling. (He’s like Jim Cornette if Jim Cornette knew any way to talk other than yelling.) But....impact....

EDIT: Lance is naming all the people he trained, and holy cow I completely forgot about Sylvester Lefort.

Seems more likely that it's AEW or WWE. TNA wouldn't have been much of a time commitment that necessitated closing it

You'll hit your head and say: 'Boy, how stupid could I have been. A moron could've figured this out. I must be a real dimwit. A pathetic nimnal. A wretched idiotic excuse for a human being for not having figured these simple puzzles out in the first place...As usual, you've been a real pantload!
I think the thing that stuck out to me from the interview is that he said it was quite a bit harder on his body nowadays. He mentioned that even teaching something simple like a kick was something he'd need to do 50 times in a lesson, even if you only do it in a match once. In his words, he was a very hands-on teacher, and while he'd gotten a former student as an assistant coach, it sounded like the work he wanted to put in physically was getting too difficult at his age.

But if he's wanting a light enough schedule that he can still be home for his kids some of the time, it can't be any part of WWE. Main roster agent would basically be back on the road full time and NXT would likely mean relocating to Florida at least for the PC.

Plus Lance is smart enough to know that WWE does not keep promises. I doubt he’s entertained their offers.

The most boring possibility (and therefore the most Lance Storm outcome) is him being full-time with Impact, which I completely expect to be the case and don't know why it has to be secretive.

Craig enables the poo poo out of Brent every time I see them together. He feeds him booze and watches him embarrass himself and laughs. It felt kind of mean-spirited, to be honest.

I've run into Craig a few times at local shows and he's always vaguely annoying. He comes across as if he thinks he's really important because of the podcast but he never outright says it. It's odd.

He always leaves when Randy Myers comes out to do a match because Myers will kiss men in the audience on his way to the ring.

i'm a bit surprised vinny and bryan were as high on the show as they were. i thought absolutely nothing stood out aside from how bad the iiconics match was and how good the brock/rollins match was (despite being largely the same thing as four months ago).
