Thoughts on him?
I was reading recent Lance Storm blogs and he thinks he sucked. I've always thought he was a good wrestler and was wondering what everyone else thought of him, definitely one of my favorites from late 80s/early 90s WWF.

Lance is a very bitter man. Tito has been way more successful in professional wrestling than Lance Storm was. Dude was in Strike Force...what more do you need?

His feud with Greg Valentine in my mind was his only high point on his own; alternatively, Strike Force.
I always feel he was the original Marty Jannetty, as he was jobbed out whilst Rick Martel shifted up the card.

He had a solid match with HBK at one wrestlemania. He had good ring skills all right, even though his persona is just a tad boring.
The flying burrito was a beautiful thing.

Lance Storm sucks, he doesn't have any right to say that about Tito, Tito Santana was a great wrestler, loved him, and I would always remember his signature flying forearm smash which was my favorite move  |

When I first got into wrestling I loved Strike Force. After they split Tito Santana was a guy who when you watched Superstars or Wrestling Challenge always delivered a solid match. He was one of my favorites as a kid and I think a big part of it was because he was on TV so much and he was really good.

I remember reading somewhere that Tito claimed it was Vince had to choose between him & Bret to take the title off Flair in 1992 and become the smaller post steroid WWF champion. Keep dreaming Chico!

I'm a Tito Santana fan. He was good in the ring and was a top face in the Rock n Wrestling Hogan era (definitely bigger than Jannetty ever was). I liked him in Strikeforce, too.

he always put on a good match and could be relied upon to put a rising star over.
maybe not the all time greatest but certainly didn't suck!

Storm doesn't need to talk about people sucking. He has all the personality of a #2 pencil.
Tito will be remembered fondly. I think he was a 2 time tag champ (Putski & Martel?) as well as a 2 time IC champ. You don't get to those heights back in the 70's and 80's without having a damned good connection with your fan base.
I hate to say it, but now days, a guy has two good months and they throw the US or IC strap on him!
So to conclude, Tito's peek was way greater than Storm's peek, and Storm should STFU.

Tito Santana got clean victories over the likes of Greg Valentine and Randy Savage, I think that is enough to put an end to this conversation.

You put Tito from 1984 in a ring with Bryan Danielson, and then put a Lance Storm from 1997 against Bryan Danielson; we'll see who has the more entertaining match, because I am actually pretty sure Santana vs Danielson will be better.
