Shane Douglas Shoot Interview 2021

[@truckdriver402]

He lives in my hometown area. One of the most genuinely NICE people you'd ever want to meet. Extremely humble and very, very kind.

[@lancewalton8705]

I’ll never understand how someone hasn’t hired Shane as an advisor or a coach of some kind. Most underrated wrestling mind ever

[@toddrichardson8595]

Exactly, someone needs to tell AEW to hire him because he's not going to work for Vince again...

[@scotshuthats5268]

A very ,very, good conversation. Thanks to Both Gentlemen. Big Mark for ECW.

[@brianhall3300]

I absolutely enjoy any of Shane Douglas's interviews. He always comes off as one of the highly intelligent well spoken wrestlers. Also, just an honest, decent guy.

[@toddrichardson8595]

Well said

[@Robocoppat]

Simply the best interview I've seen so far on Hannibal. Great video. I always liked Shane.

[@DaWrestlingKnowledge]

As a kid I really liked Shane Douglas in his short WWF run from 1990-1991 in his orange trunks, I always thought he had a lot of potential even back then.

[@joshniner1481]

I just met Shane last night in Evansville Indiana what a great dude

[@mikesmith2718]

Shane is a great guy and I'm glad to keep seeing him do interviews for the fans and still working .

[@Santiago11200]

Shane is awesome 😎

[@Brando-Lee3725]

I feel you on the oxy thing . And Heroin . Once your in , your stuck . Thank God i been clean almost 3 years . I hope and pray the best for all in full blown addiction .

[@toddrichardson8595]

Same here, off Alcohol for almost 3 years... Addiction is Addiction.... Believe it or not, Alcohol grabs you once you cross the line just like the Drugs..... Congrats Man

[@steveolinger1915]

Thank you for this interview love Shane

[@bradgaines]

I was never a big Shane fan back in the day, but I love his interviews. Super smart dude.

[@toddrichardson8595]

SUPER SMART..... And Educated

[@gscrippler9499]

He's right. Today's product sucks I started watching wrestling in the late 70's stopped after the Monday night wars ended

[@LooseCan88]

Great stuff, Keep rocking Hannibal

[@cornettejason3398]

Love Shane. Should have been World champion for Vince at some point. He had it all as a heel (look, charisma, ring ability, promo, intelligence, etc). Was just packaged wrong in NY

[@Hotdiggity11]

Would have been huge during the New Generation era. His “Franchise” gimmick would have stood out during that time period. Probably would have had trouble being a top guy during the Attitude Era due to the competition in the company but still could have been an accomplished upper midcarder there too.

[@briansmith96]

I will always be a franchise fan !!!

[@joshx022]

Him and francine are the only reason I miss being allowed on twitter. They'd always chat me up and I'd send them pictures of the odeum in villa park IL where they had a couple ECW shows. Great folks...not afraid to take time out for fans at all. Much respect to the franchise and Francine.

[@90scarguy]

Ha, Troys my cousin. Cool seeing him on my timeline tonight.

[@ken7531077]

WWF should have bought Shane in as The Franchise back in the day. He would have been as big as Mr. Perfect.

[@dannysavagedraftguru]

Listen I got no problem with the franchise but their will only ever be one MR Perfect !!!!!

[@Robocoppat]

That would've been an awesome idea. Of course Vince couldn't have Shane outshine HBK. As long as HHH/ HBK or the cliq were there, no one really had a chance. Of that's just my opinion. Did perfect ever wrestle Shane! I can't remember.

[@ajjjay9583]

The click screwed him over, now hbk and hhh train people in nxt , I wonder if they teach how to form a gang and bury people lol

[@joshx022]

Actually a perfect vs franchise fueds was one of my dream matches that came to mind....in a stampede setting. Lol

[@geekspeakmadechic4003]

I think razor/diesel/shawn/pac/hhh prob had something to do with that not happening

[@ChrisMonte]

So great to hear about a wrestler overcoming drug addiction. Good on you Franchise.

[@WaterBanana17]

This is the BEST .. thank you Hannibal

[@ronaldturner3624]

Amazing show Hannibal. I love Shane and the triple threat. Shane is a legend ECW ECW ECW ECW ECW ECW ECW ECW ECW ECW ECW ECW ECW ECW ECW ECW ECW ECW ECW ECW ECW ECW ECW ECW ECW ECW ECW ECW

[@richlewis86]

Shane vs bret hart would have been a hell of a match

[@toddrichardson8595]

This dude turned down Medical School to focus on Wrestling. He has a Master's Degree in Political Science...... Very sharp dude and known as a Humble guy...

[@Brando-Lee3725]

I met The Wall/Malice at an indy show . We talked about his tatts as he had a Life of Agony tatt as i did too ! He seemed real cool .

[@g.r.a.h.a.m.]

Gutted I missed this!

[@Brando-Lee3725]

Sorry i feel like a dick commenting three times in a row , but i GOT to say THIS ! A fan of ECW since day 1 and without Shane to be that anchor i dont think it would be the same . GREAT heel ! Also i loved his baby face work in WCW with Steamboat and Dustin . Hell i even liked the Dynamic Dudes as a kid !!

[@timmc8444]

Always worth listening to shane

[@SharmutaCartel]

I’m seeing him tomorrow in Ohio!

[@WrestlingFeverBRD]

Thank you very VERY much, Gentlemen! (Markus)

[@davidrish3605]

Hey dev just got done watching the new Shane Douglas interview you did awesome one Shane is a pro in the wrestling business any chance of him being in the wwe hall of fame

[@christhornycroft3686]

Shane still seems like he has a lot to give, at least in terms of promos.

[@JohnDoe-ym5ly]

Shane has an incredible mind for the business now that he's not protecting his spot. Also, I loved TNA until Hogan/Bischoff came in. I'm terrified that wrestling could end up like roller derby bc Shane is right. PS New Jack/Shark Boy was actually the best tag team going at its time in TNA.

[@dmalak4509]

Yes TNA was a solid, profitable, and growing wrestling company until Hogan/Bischoff arrived.

[@90scarguy]

@@dmalak4509 I worked there, I can confirm that. They really fucked things up.

[@JohnDoe-ym5ly]

@@90scarguy They were there to "take it to next level, brother". And now its in the shitter. Also thats amazing you worked there, kudos. I really really preferred it to WWE from the time they were NWA affiliated up until Hogan/Bischoff.

[@mcgannahanskyjellyfetti6854]

*FUN FACT:* If you listen carefully in the background, you hear someone yelling out, _"Alright, Troy, your break is up, let's get those shopping carts back in the store and those bathroom toilets are not going to clean themselves..."_

[@WaterBanana17]

Please come back to Louisiana Franchise.. you were top notch in ECW house shows and PPV in New Orleans and for indy APW just a couple years ago

[@The495marauder]

Great tile setter

[@grimjes]

Franchiseeee

[@beardedfisherman8608]

LOVE YOUR SHOWS HANNIBAL AND MUCH RESPECTTO SHANE DOUGLAS I WATCHED HIM AND NEW JACK AT DANBURY CT HE JUMPED OF SCAFLING I HAD MY SON MIKE JR WITH ME

[@lucag.lisickza425]

the franchise

[@davidrish3605]

2nd question why do you think ecw didn’t have a hall of fame just wwe

[@EaterOfWorlds78]

Jerry Tuite had a heart attack in his hotel room in Japan and his toxicology reports were clean.

[@amoney315]

Always liked the franchise always thought he was a victim of his own success no company was going to use him the same way Paul E did in ecw and I think it hurt him when it came to the other wrestling companies but what a great gimmick...the franchise

[@randybradley4151]

Shane looking like Fred Jones.

[@karozhun_0895]

Cure for bed spins, sleep sitting up. Been there

[@cutekanjii]

He's totally right about the wrestlers today mainly look the same, same slimish muscular six pack, little beard, handsome with tattoos which I can't stand anyway as it seem everyone today has tattoos especially girls and they look bad enough on men never mind women! Anyway that's besides the point, the wrestlers in the old days were all so different and unique, I think that's one of the main reasons it was so popular. Just the visual of it, the distinct characters. Like macho man was so different from the undertaker who was so different from roddy piper and ultimate warrior was so different from jake the snake and the list goes on and on. All had distinct looks, voices, outfits and body types. Another thing is the entrance music seems to be so generic and boring, it all sounds similar and has no relevance to the character that's walking down the aisle. When LOD's "AAAAAHHH whata rush!" hit or the undertakers dong dong or the first few chords of Hulk hogan's music hit you knew exactly who was coming! But now if you don't watch it that often you struggle to recognise it. Vince mcmahon had one good idea in his life and been living off of it ever since! He made a success out of others creations but now all those creations are long retired and gone he can't come up with anything original on his own.

[@chrisbarrettFilmstudio]

I mean while Dark Side might have been Biased but Shane basically confirmed everything that they said on the Warrior episode. I still cant believe what he did to Pitbull Gary Wolfe

[@_sabathia_5929]

It’s true though. High spots = horror movies (violence) people become immune to it . Then there’s no surprise ••• used the horror movies analogy because a few jump scenes can make or break a good horror movie. (The build up is required)

[@rlaw1971]

hOW LONG HAS HE HAD THAT BLACK EYE???

[@sabuhellwert5420]

We love you in Philly still, I would like to know if someone can ask former ECW wrestlers from the mid 90s if they thought if bruiser Brody lived when he wind up there?

[@KayFabe87]

Brody would have likely done a few shots in ECW (for the right price) the same way Hansen, Funk, and Abdullah the Butcher among others did. Brody was always an independent contractor so he wouldn't have been under any kind of a long term exclusive contract with ECW. He also would not have taken kindly to any of his checks bouncing as happened towards the end of ECW and would not have stuck around the way many of the other ECW wrestlers did.

[@TroublesBig]

what happened to your 1991 run?

[@chadk890]

His father was sick at the time.

[@randyorton6980]

Why would wwf push him as dean douglas !!!!

[@neilsun2521]

Get to Florida -- there's no lockdown or mask bs there.

[@toddrichardson8595]

Amen, Fort Lauderdale here...

[@blackniall8509]

He smells his own farts doesn't he
