The moment he threw the NWA Championship belt in the trash, two true legends were born: Shane, and ECW!
Thanks, Shane!
The Franchise of ECW Shane Douglas was awesome great heel in the 90s
I love listening to Shane,he keeps u interested in his road stories and the business
ECW became an Icon...you can say it
When I first discovered ECW. I was attracted to the excitement, Joey styles was a big reason, the promos were excellent, the matches were not that long, but seeing the flyboy Rocco rock, and Sabu, and sandman do their thing.... I got hooked on it pretty quick
Shane was NEVER mainstream ...
I love seeing Shane talk about the business. He was such a great nasty seeing him be as cool as he is, is refreshing. Probably fun for you too Hannibal?
In my opinion The Greatest ECW world champion in history. 1998 heel Shane was pure Gold.
I like Shane Douglas as a heel in ECW. Would have loved to see Degeneration X to the job to the Triple Threat.
Shane gives one hell of a dynamic shoot ! ( pardon the pun) 🙌🤟👏🤙🌉
“This’ll last a few months” 😊
Its a shame Shane didn't get bigger on the heels of his ecw run...i feel like he followed the money to his demise. Can't blame him when wcw was tossing money out of Turners bottomless pockets.
And when ecw was shaky and shady financially. I cant lie as a teen, I looked at the dudes who jumped differently. But I didnt conciously think about the fact that these dudes had families to look out for.
Shane was my favorite
around 5:05-5:10 i got mad but no matter what politics...they are all GREATS
Shane Douglas was a great heel because as much as you hated him as the heel you loved him. Just like in the Dark Knight trilogy you loved the villains the Joker and Bane even though they were the heels. ECW was the best wrestling promotion from 1996 to 1999.
ECW also used heavy metal to it's total advantage. Even their own theme music was great, it made you want to see more
Shame talks to you not down to you excellent storytelling
Without Shane there would be no Triple H..without the Triple Threat no Degeneration X
How do you figure that the 4 Horsemen were way before the triple threat it has been stated by many wrestling insiders the horsemen inspired dx and the nwo
@@TAG21-j9itriple h stole Shane's whole gimmick (The Game), (The Franchise), the backwards leather hat, the promo style and cadence, Triple H having Stephanie, Shane Having Francine, the Triple threat vs D-X
"...the evil plummer..." Lost my shit. That's so funny & so true. Stupid Vince and his lame-ass gimmicks. I love Shane because he calls all this shit out that is so obvious.
What were specifics of politics in WCW in 92 that drove Shane away
In WWEs current strategy, he could be a great PR man. Too bad they had a HUGE falling out.
E c w!!! E c w!!!! E c w !!!!!!
Flagstaff was full. At lease 200 at the shows there.
Or a 400lb. man playing a heavy metal guitar shaped like WWF logo.
EEEEE CEEEEE DUB
How many times do you hear fans chant ECW but i never hear WCW or WWF you might hear NWO but ECW is the only chant for the whole company i ever heard
We need an ECW today!
AEW is cool, but just not that Rocky Road flavor we need in today's vanilla and french vanilla pro wrestling.
Douglas was right bout Ric Flair when he said ' in the ring no one better but as a person total douchebag ' lol 😂 he wasn't wrong
Jim Thorpe drew 200+
I thought Shane was a strung out bam Margera lol
Dude coulda got so over with that gimmick in the wwf early attitude days
Threw away a legendary belt for ECW which is dead now,But guess what NWA is still running
You're funny...Shane was right on doing what he did. If you think the belt he threw down was the same belt held by Race , Funks, Rhodes and Flair, you're nuts. This was a belt that a few sleazy promoters were trying to resurrect and there was no way it would have lasted.
At the time, the nwa belt was worthless
if call drawing 500 people on their PPVs, and getting 50k YT views on their weekly program running, I guess it's running.
@@akamiguelsanchez9985 still is.
Shane/Troy didn't become a star in a major company because the guy who scored the boss's daughter stole his gimmick and buried him in the process. And by the time he got to WCW...well, we know what happened there. Total and complete mismanagement.
Wtf is wrong with his voice
Shane...and those gorgeous blue eyes☺️...Shane, the Dean Douglas gimmick may have been ridiculous, buttttt, You, in that baby-blue singlet, had a llllllot of females, and gays, like myself, MAKING SURE we bought our tickets when You were wrestling nearby, and when You weren't, we were making sure we were home to watch You on TV...and I have a pretty good feeling that many of those females easily talked their boyfriends into buying tickets for a show...and I have no doubt that when You were in the ring wrestling, those girls would "talk You up" to their boyfriends about your wrestling skills (not your looks, because they wanted them to like You, not feel jealous, lol) chatting with each other about your move and such...What I'm saying is YOU sold tickets to women, and gay males because You were Hotttttt, a hot jock...and the guys liked your wrestling style, demeanor, and cockiness...You sold tickets to a MASSIVE spectrum of the population... I've just always LOVED watching You in the ring, I'm 54 now, so I've watched You from the start 😉...They could of put You in a diaper and a bonnet, we'd of STILL paid to watch YOUR body wrestle....and now, watching this, I find out you're intelligent too, DAMN MAN, c'mon 🥰❤️💪🤓💯💥
