Lance Cade

Lance Cade is one of those wrestlers history files under "underrated." Trained by Shawn Michaels, sharpened in Japan, and built for tag-team chemistry, he was a 6-foot-5 worker who made his partners look great rather than chasing the spotlight. I have a soft spot for performers like that, the ones who keep the show running without demanding the marquee. His death at just 29 still feels like a story cut off mid-sentence. When I think of him I think less about title reigns and more about the quiet craft of a reliable hand, the kind of presence a locker room actually depends on.
