Team Canada (professional wrestling)

Team Canada is a heel stable, most notable for their time in WCW and TNA. The team has been comprised of Canadian wrestlers or American wrestlers who believe in Canada's superiority to the United States.

World Championship Wrestling

Team Canada was first formed by Lance Storm in WCW. The first member he recruited was former CFL player "Primetime" Elix Skipper. The faction expanded to include Americans Major Gunns and Jim Duggan, who were formerly allied with Team Canada rivals the Misfits in Action. American Mike Awesome was a later addition to faction, after having feuded with the stable. Canadian wrestlers Jacques Rougeau, Bret Hart and Carl Oulette have all been loosely affiliated with the group.

Lance Storm won the United States Heavyweight Title, World Cruiserweight Title and WCW Hardcore Championship in rapid succession. He renamed the titles to the Canadian Heavyweight Championship, 100 Kilos and Under Championship, and Saskatchewan Hardcore International Title, respectively. Each one came complete with large Canadian stickers that covered the belts' faceplates.

Team Canada feuded with General Rection's stable, the MIA, for several months. In particular, Storm and Rection feuded with each other over Storm's "Canadian" Heavyweight Title, which Rection finally won from him and promptly renamed back to the U.S. Heavyweight Title.

World Wrestling Entertainment

In June 2002, Lance Storm would re-form Team Canada in World Wrestling Entertainment (then WWF), when Storm complained that the WWE had been discriminating against Canadians for years, using the Montreal Screwjob as an example. Christian, Test, Chris Jericho would all come to be affiliated with the group.

Later British born William Regal would join them and the team was renamed the "Un-Americans." On the September 30, 2002 edition of RAW every member of The Un-Americans lost in their tag team matches. The group would then separate later in the night and pair off into tag teams Storm/Regal and Christian/Test.

As Team Canada, Storm and Christian would capture the WWE Tag Team Titles.

Total Nonstop Action

In 2004, wrestling promoter and personality "Coach" Scott D'Amore brought together fellow Canadians to form his own incarnation of Team Canada in TNA. This incarnation of Team Canada has captured tag team titles twice, and member Petey Williams is a former X Division Champion.
