Shane Douglas Shoots on Major Gunns, Sid Vicious, Tammy Sytch, Marc Mero, Madusa... | FIRING LINE

[@VeryStupid4547]

Shane's shoot interviews are always a pleasure to watch. He always comes across as really genuine with a balanced perspective and doesn't put himself over the way I've seen others do. His stories all sound believable. If they're not all 100% truth, they're pretty close.

[@brianchase351]

Agreed, such a positive sounding guy. Proud of him

[@Paurkchop]

Got to meet him at a HOH show in NY ; signed autographs and legitimately spent the time to talk to EVERY fan in the building ; not sign an autograph and brush them off .. man is a legend and appreciates the business

[@simplyhuman2213]

He’s a really good man. Sean Waltman too. Those two are open and good souls.

[@saburvd7874]

Shane is a great guy. He could shoot a promo with the best of the best. I saw him front row at Ag Haul when ECW came in either 97 or 98. I saw him doing an autograph signing several years ago and he is genuinely the nicest guy and down to earth.

[@mikesmith2718]

Love the shoots from the franchise . Always a great interview. Thanks for putting the mic in front of him for us .

[@ArcherSuh4721]

WSI is the anti-Hannibal! Just when I thought KZbin shoot interviews had gotten overcrowded and stale, WSI breathed new life into it. And it's good to see Jack Victory getting some light shined on him! I remember seeing him in ECW back in the day and while he wasn't exactly the biggest name in the promotion, he was always a welcome addition to whatever was going on. One of my favorite promos of all time was the "Chili Sauce" segment with him, Steve Corino, Dawn Marie and New Jack. It managed to go from a straight-forward promo to genuinely scary to absolutely hilarious without skipping a beat. Definitely worth watching! Also, Victory should get extra points for that match in ECW when Taz f*cked him up with a wheelchair. That was Goddamn BRUTAL!

Hannibal is such a toolbox 😂. I remember cornette ripping him to shreds in an interview. I think it was over cutting that ref. All the bad stuff corny was saying about him was true.

The Franchise was so damn underated, he was underutilized in wwe and wcw.

[@MrKevinEaddy]

Insanely underused Shane was a great showman

[@neilenglish8582]

Wasn't that due to his decision???

[@jonathanturbide2232]

Underused? Not at all. The guy was given TWICE the task of carrying ECW on his back and he left TWICE for other promotions (WWF in 95, WCW in 99) when ECW needed him the most. If he was "underused" (he wasn't) it's because of himself, he just wasn't reliable enough to be a top guy over several years.

[@maggskonerko7810]

@@jonathanturbide2232 U Sir are correct. I'm a fan of The Franchise and I never looked at it that way. Shane was a complete wrestler. He can wrestle and talk. ECW needed him more but WWF and WCW paid him more to leave ECW.

@@jonathanturbide2232 Paul Hayman left ecw, not Shane. If Paul actually paid what he promised Shane, Shane would have never left. Facts.

[@jonathanturbide2232]

@@JosephSAMUELJonesMommyTammTamm That's cool and I don't blame Shane for doing what's best for him and his family (and keep his house), but then don't call yourself The Franchise if you can't stay in one promotion for at least 3 years. He once "called out" Sting and Cena on his podcast because they once called themselves "Franchise", when they are both far more deserving of the name (Sting spent over 13 years with NWA/WCW without leaving, Cena has been with WWE for 20 years +) than a guy like him that constantly left promotions left and right over pay or booking or both. He's not worthy of that nickname.

Shane has the most compassionate view on Sunny's porn shoot that I have seen yet. And he is right. It is deeply sad when a man or woman humiliates themselves on film in porno because it is deeply personal and it will haunt her for the rest of her life.

eh, disagree. don't think the fans would give a hoot if he sounded like a real human being. they want to see something out of this world or "larger than life" as they say.

Madusa/Alundra Blaze to me will always be the reason the Montreal screwjob happened. Her throwing a WWF title belt in the trash on another companies show caused Vince McMahon to think all of his other champions would be capable of doing the same. Bret Hart has sworn up and down that he had no intention of doing anything like that. He just didn't want to lose to a guy that when the time came admitted he wouldn't have done the same. Shawn was allowed multiple times to get out of losing his title. He should've been forced to do the job on that night. Not Bret. Vince was afraid of history repeating itself and he wasn't about to be fooled twice. That is on the person that fooled him the first time.

I think, on that sad day, people are going to say similar things about Shane that they say about Bobby Eaton. The only person I've heard him not like is HBK and by the sound of it, that's overwhelmingly justified. I totally agree with the NWA/WCW back in the day and I think that was the downfall. I loved WCW because they were wrestling AND telling a story. Eventually, they all had to get characters and, once a boob job was a pre-requisite, I've never liked what wrestling has done with women.

Shane Dawn Marie is an actual nurse. I was in the hospital in Philadelphia and I thought someone was pulling a rib on me. Being someone who knew most of the crew from ECW from driving a lot of the wrestlers back to the hotel after the matches. I knew her and many on the roster. I also use to be the guy who use to bring a little guy in a wheelchair name Brian to the shows and many of the wrestlers knew Brian also. But like I said before I thought someone was pulling a rip on me. I was in the hospital after having a minor heart attack. I'm in the hospital bed. I get woken up for medication and who's my nurse but Dawn lol. That was back when she was just starting out as a nurse. I was friends with her Tommy hell Taz grew up in the same neighborhood as me in Brooklyn lol remember Taz as a little fat kid in the neighborhood lol. But I will say this Dawn looked just as hot in them scubs as she did at any of the shows lol. And believe me them naughty nurse fantasies ran thought my demented mind at the time. Even though it most likely would have killed me after just having a heart attack lol. There were a lot of fun time's at the arena the rides taking the wrestlers back to the Econo Lodge and at the hotel lol. Hell Shane I think you are one of the only wrestlers that I didn't drive back to the hotel back in the ECW days.

[@WSI]

Agree with the shoots sentiment, but I always thought mid-late 1990s Shane had the potential to be a serious money player in the WWF if he had just been the Franchise and had a lengthy programme with Shawn Michaels.

I’ll take the wrestling company over the SE industry anytime. The territory days with the colorful independent promoters were the best. The “boys” never broke kayfabe and lived their gimmick. Probably not doable today. Unique to the golden age and a bit beyond. Today it’s all about the entertainment and money. Enjoy it for the major production and storylines but it’s not the same. Today’s wrestlers are looking to crossover into film and television work and look at wrestling and the WWE as the first step to that goal. Cool, but it’s not the good ol’ rasslin of bygone year’s.
