Shane Douglas 3rd Full Shoot Interview 2 Hours+ | WSI #68🎤

[@dxdave33]

Always love to hear Shane and his stories! Thank you for another great interview, James.

[@rrrod411]

Shane is always a good story teller.

[@CannedHam2479]

Shane=Underrated AF!!

[@machohogan]

Shane looking really trim. His face looks chiselled and not in a bad way. Looks extremely healthy and young.

[@machohogan]

I like Shane. Feel much more in line with real people like Shane than guys like Flair. I imagine whenever you meet Shane he’s a nice guy.

[@bjmine9634]

Shane is a great guy. Im lucky enough to live near him and run into him all the time.

[@louio]

He seems like the common man

[@bradjohnston8687]

& you can talk to him about the Real Problems going on in the world.

[@ensoniqreducer]

I’ve enjoyed these interviews with Shane, and he seems like a sharp, genuine guy. As a public school teacher (specifically a special education teacher, like Shane was), though, I can understand why Shane’s son’s school wouldn’t allow him to shadow/attend school for a day. Just the logistics alone of having to be open and available during instruction to all parents/guardians (we’re talking a group of potentially thousands of people) might be a bit unreasonable, to say the least, so the school likely wasn’t trying to hide anything. The vast majority of us are not attempting to indoctrinate your kids with a liberal agenda, folks: we’re simply trying to help them to become successful, independent people, and it’s a lot of work. 😊

[@DavidBarton777]

But Most schools are liberal indoctrination camps

[@lancewalton8705]

I'm interested in anything Shane talks about. Always very informative

[@davidkotansky5904]

I'd love to hear Shane talk about anything under the sun. His mind is so complex and he's always been a great talker and conversationalist.

[@lonniemeade9877]

I don’t have a question for Shane … But if you talk to him again and I’m sure he doesn’t remember but I’ll never forget it .. I drove 31/2hrs to Chillicothe OHIO he was performing and doing a meet and great but the weather was absolutely horrible his flight was delayed so he didn’t make the meet and greet.. He had an amazing street fight match with Bobby Fulton btw the only reason I went to this and bought vip meet and greet tickets was for one reason and one reason only and that was to meet Shane .. He’s absolutely one of my all time favorite Wrestlers .. And it’s so cool to respect and appreciate someone and you end up finding out this person is genuinely a great man.. He was in this long hard fought bloody match it was the main event.. So when this match was over the show was over .. I go up to this man I’m assuming he’s Shane’s security I tell him my story I drove 3 1/2 hrs to meet him I totally understand why he didn’t make the meet and greet but is there anyway I can get a photo with him.. He says I’ll go ask him .. This man didn’t owe me shit I’m sure the last thing he wanted to do was to come out of that dressing room but I tell you what he immediately comes out offers me a handshake takes like 4 or 5 photos and just absolutely treated me with so much respect.. I’m sure he hasn’t given two thoughts of that evening.. But I hope this truly gets back to him in someway.. It absolutely meant the world to me and other than marrying my wife and my 2 beautiful daughters being born it’s one of the greatest moments of my life !! And it’s just awesome to meet someone I mean I know people that have met someone famous that they loved and they were assholes but Shane was absolutely the opposite.. Brother I know it was just a few minutes of your time but it made a lifetime memory for myself! And I sincerely thank you sir!! Not just for that moment but all the sacrifices you’ve made in your life to entertain us fans and I sincerely mean that .. Im not just being a MARK but you literally became my favorite wrestler I was 13yrs old and you come out half of the dynamic dudes .. I followed your career from then on and even when you was getting paid for us to hate you lol I freaking loved it!! Even when you had in my opinion some of the best damn heat in the business when you led the Triple Threat btw one of the most underrated factions of all time I was still a huge fan and I was throwing up the 3 brother .. I truly hope this story gets back to him to how much it truly meant to me to take those few minutes of his time but gave me a memory of a lifetime … Once again Shane thank you brother for all the sacrifices you made throughout your life to let me escape reality on a weekly basis to forget about the every day stress and struggles in life that we all go through ,when you was on tv i didn’t have a struggle, stress or a worry in the world because I was so damn entertained!!

[@LoDDEMOCIDE]

Shane Douglas is always a good interview to watch.

[@johnsawh1867]

Nice to hear Shane praising Ricky Steamboat

[@jamesb1988]

Please get Shane back for a non-wrestling discussion! Would LOVE to hear more from The Franchise.

[@littlebobbymma5992]

I don’t like wrestling at all but damn I could listen to this guy talk all day.

[@lawrencestimpson6669]

Troy is a class act

[@DavidMccallister65]

I'd love to hear Shane speak on the Constitution and American politics

[@RealAlLePage]

Really enjoy listening to Shane on not only wrestling, but his perspectives on changes in our country and education system

[@Jerry-ye4ze]

Shane is awesome most real wrestler of 90's

[@christhornycroft3686]

Troy Martin is the most screwed over wrestler I’ve ever seen next to Owen Hart. Owen should have been champion in 1998 against DX and Shane Douglas should have been the Franchise in WWF as Owen’s buddy. They would have been fire heels. I have a ton of respect for both guys as a Canadian who values real wrestling.

[@CannedHam2479]

Owen shouldve had a World Title Run in 94 as well, at least as a transitional champ

[@johnkolko5199]

He brings a lot of it on himself. He always think he knows better and rubs people the wrong way and does not know when to keep his mouth shut, Problem is he is probably a little too smart for the business. I am a big Shane fan and he did get screwed over by The Kliq.

[@tobyclark6534]

Wrestle Palooza 97 from Douglas might be the greatest promo of all time, in my opinion.

[@gooblygoo]

Ric flair fears The Franchise!

[@txmetalhead82xk]

Loved those posters.

[@MikeyMike-uu3fe]

Shane looks good..good and healthy 👊👊Respects

[@CMPUNK___146]

Genuine great human being

[@andrewmachado6988]

I’d be interested in hearing Shane talk about non wrestling related stuff.

[@matthiasbocksch4180]

what a cool man

[@Daoloth]

Third Time Was Charm for Shane for sure. I really liked to hear him talking about Ricky Steamboat who he mentions in his famous ECW Title declaration after winning NWA heh. I don't know if Sid is thin skinned but that would explain why his leg snapped. I Scream when I see things like that happen from Hayabusa moonsault to Mike Awesome having rough landing on one on him too. There some black wrestler who like broke neck doing a flip but can't recall name. Raven doing the 3D to Conquisitor or how spell. Flair was not really watching matches is what started major divide it seems over everything else. Great Story about Doink among other things didn't recall. Especially Triple Threat. The Pay Story heh. Rubber Wood hehe.

[@mulldrifterz6469]

I find it highly unlikely that Ric was going 'yes, sir' to Shane. 🤣

[@cannoncohen8155]

Much respect for Mr Shane Douglas It's a shame that your not in some kind of role in today's mainstream wrestling. Tony Khan.... Best of luck Shane Douglas.

[@rowds]

I know what goes on in Conrad's head 🤔💭🍔🍕🍦🍪🍔

[@christophergupton8831]

That’s funny well said..😂👍

[@Pones420]

I'd love to hear shanes thoughts on life outside of wrestling

[@tonykennedy8592]

I work with a guy like Flair. He is so glib. He asks you really pointed personal questions and you think he really cares, then you hear him talk shit about people he is equally as glib with and you know he does the same behind your back. Or he will ask you a random question and hou realise he hasn't been listening to a word you've said. Or if he has a problem with you he'd get a manager to address it, rather than just ask. Granted he isn't likely to whip the Ahmed Johnson out and woooo,but the other similarities are their.

[@josephleahy3285]

I mean I like hearing all types of topics I say bring it on

[@trelard]

YES, more off topic stuff with Shane.

[@billyrouse4813]

Al Perez probably didn't get further up the card because he quit during the Black Scorpion storyline. He was supposed to lose to Sting and quit WCW rather than job to Sting.

[@Beaver_Cleavage420]

Damn honestly...Shane would been a badass Doink

[@candidofan]

I'm interested in hearing Shane talk about whatever.

[@milosmods]

Now I saw those promos for he was talkin about send everybody and he'll shoot did anybody actually try to ever shoot on him in a match that's my question

[@monsterzero760]

Thank you Shane for another great interview. Just a quick question that maybe someone can answer. Francine had mentioned during a interview that Paul Haymen still owes her and other former ECW talent money to them. Just wanted to know if this is still true today and with Paul Haymen being so successful in WWE if he made any attempt to pay said money back to the ECW talent that worked for him back in the day.

[@milosmods]

You know and that's what things like this are is Hector there Sherry they should be the sharing of information and ideas Course I'd love to hear his views on other things as as well and if they wanted to do another interview on stuff like that I certainly would watch

[@velvetpilot2008]

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say you both are starting a podcast. And if you were smart, you'd call it something like School of Franchise or Franchise University. It would be cool to see cause I could listen to Shane talk all day!

[@machohogan]

I paid to sit with Conrad and Bruce in a balcony on their UK tour. Bruce was great. Conrad barely spoke, seemed very different to the guy who you hear on his podcasts.

[@MortonT1958]

Conrad was probably thinking about what he was going to eat next.

[@edwinbarrera2]

@@MortonT1958 😂😂 can totally see that!

[@jamesb1988]

Hey now, Conrad's on the seafood diet now. He sees food, then he eats it.

[@canadiens5]

Considering Shane Douglas is one of the best straight outters out there, I'd like to hear his thoughts on the various conspiracy theories on 9/11.

[@BiscoWho]

What do you mean, "conspiracy theories"? Are you referring to the 9/11 commission's laughable conspiracy theory, or are you just referring to NIST's HILARIOUS pancake conspiracy theory? I mean, I think we've heard those conspiracy theories for far too long. But, it might be interesting to hear him talk about what really happened. Seeing that we now know that the JFK assassination was 100% for sure the coup d'etat that we thought it was, it's interesting to think about how things would've played out had it not happened. Obviously, 9/11 never happens if that coup never happens. That's just one example. I'd enjoy hearing Shane's in-depth thoughts on how things would've played out, had the coup not happened, from then til now.

[@robertflannery6368]

Shane bud I heard plea for flair to find peace.... from first hand knowledge.....he buried a kid. There is no peace. Always just ain't right. Just sayn. This is a bumpy ride.

[@Blackadam01]

Yes I’d listen to non-wrestling stuff!

[@lk3842]

You should it do like the Dutch show, just talk about everything

[@ttwarrior1]

is this new?

[@jamesb1988]

Beginning of last year.

[@brandi33]

Would you like to hear my Top 5 Wrestlers Ever? In no particular order.... Hulk Hogan, Bret Hart, Rick Rude, Stone Cold Steve Austin & 'The Franchise' Shane Douglas.

[@travelreview5962]

I feel like you should've given him 15 minutes on outside topics that you're interested in just to see how exactly it played out. Can't let him talk politics extensively for sure lol, but if you find the right avenue it could be another source of content.

[@DavidMartinez-pg3zq]

The schools can't allow parents to be on campus even for "shadowing" purposes. It's too much of a risk to the other minors on campus. Shane may be well intentioned but that is not the case for others.

[@brenthatcher5748]

I liked The Franchise alot in ECW but when he talks about his beef with Flair it seems like a work to me. And I'm not a huge Naitch fan bit he keeps going cuz he needs the money and when you have lived his life would you rather die in the hospital or in the ring?

[@anthonygentile8968]

Arthur Brown did it first

[@JohnnyZ716]

I'd absolutely love to hear all of Shane's crackpot conspiracy theories. I find them highly entertaining, but if he does them, can you ask him to wear a tinfoil hat while he's talking about them. Make a gimmick out of it, ya know.

[@anthonypearce4504]

I'd love to hear from Shane on politics, would be interesting.

[@jasonpepe7617]

It always sounds like Shane is going to burp or has bad acid reflux.

[@jamesb1988]

And John Laurinaitis sounds like he's been eating cigarettes, what's your point?

[@jasonpepe7617]

@@jamesb1988 it was an observation / opinion. Now it’s your turn - why question a simple observation / question? Do you feel offended? What was your point?

[@txmetalhead82xk]

It’s due to aging. Acid reflux is the worst. It can damage your esophagus and vocal cords.

[@MFD00MTR33]

Just cause you use an F-bimb you're imitating the Franchise? Sorry, don't buy it. I'll give him Hunter biting his style but not Austin. There's a bit of Sandman with the beer i guess but Steve did it differently and i think it was more as an excuse to get paid to drink beer rather than biting Sandman.

[@joeblitz6412]

Shane Douglas is the only one who speaks about this so called great rivalry with Ric Flair non of the fans nobody but Shane
