To this the crowd responded with a 'Storm Sucks' chant. What a great night."

A "heel" is a bad guy professional wrestler.
A "house show" is an untelevised event.
The "apron" means the ring apron - up on the edge of the ring, but outside the ropes.
Getting cheered when you're "working heel" is somewhat counterproductive, but the local fans really, really liked Lance Storm - and so they were undermining his attempts to be the cowardly, weaselly, cheating bad guy. It being untelevised, he's allowed to do things like *admit* he knows it's just an act, and the crowd obliged him.
This is why it is a funny story.
