At "CHIKARA Young Lions Cup VI Night III" on June 15, 2008, Mike Quackenbush revealed that Shane Storm had been the one to pass the counter to Quackenbush's finishing move the CHIKARA Special to UltraMantis Black to Chris Hero (Chris Spradlin) at "CHIKARA The Sordid Perils of Everyday Existence" on November 17, 2007. Storm did this in exchange for Hydra of UMB's the Order of the Neo-Solar Temple essentially throwing their match the same night which ended Storm's losing streak. Storm was left with no choice but to turn rudo (heel/bad guy), which he did, forming the UnStable with Vin Gerard (who, as Equinox, had lost the Hair vs. Mask match to Hero at "CHIKARA The Sordid Perils of Everyday Existence" because of Storm's betrayal of the tecnicos [faces/good guys]) at "CHIKARA Style & Substance" on September 7, where he debuted his new name and gimmick of STIGMA, which he would keep until 2012, though he would continue using it in 2013 in Wrestling Is Fun! and in 2014 in Grand Slam Wrestling.
