[edit] Career

Chris Ford began his career being trained by Mike Sharpe while still in High School. He wrestled for many years on the independant scene under the ring name Devon Storm, a name which Ford came up with many years earlier while dreaming to be a pro wrestler. He had many notable feuds on the indys including having several matches with Sabu. After years working on the indys and a short stint with ECW, Storm signed a developmental deal with WCW.

Storm went to World Championship Wrestling where they sent him to the infamous Power Plant. After being trained in the WCW Power Plant as Dangerous Devon Storm, he was put in a stable with David Flair and Daffney Unger. He was given the name "Crowbar". In WCW he held the WCW World Tag Team titles and the Hardcore Championship. He also had memorable feud with Terry Funk that culminated at the last WCW Starcade pay per view.

After WCW, he spent some time in the now defunct World Wrestling All-Stars where he and Sabu picked up their feud.

He has wrestled a fair amount of dark matches for WWE on both WWE Velocity and WWE Sunday Night HEAT.

In 2003, he joined Total Nonstop Action Wrestling and was part of Father James Mitchell's stable, The New Church. He was let go from TNA as they were still a small company at that time and could not afford to fly him down to Nashville every week.

Chris Ford now has a full time job as a physical therapist(a job he has had since the late 90's). He still works some indy shows on the weekends, but doesn't as much anymore so he can spend more time with his family.

[edit] Trivia

Devon Storm was at the JFK rec-center in Newark, New Jersey on September 29, 2006. He lost a match against a surprising appearance by Sean Waltman.

Storm stutters when he speaks in his normal voice, but when he cuts a promo in character the stutter disappears.
