I could listen to Shane for hours. Such an intelligent and articulate man. And still looking pretty good for his age.
Same.
Sounds like they were worried that he would lie down and collect a paycheck while he was hurt, so they told him he was being made a star to expedite his return. Now that he's back, they can do whatever they want because him being there gives them the opportunity to book him however they want. Classic heel move by a company
That would make some sense if the story is true. Obviously someone is going to be more likely to hurry back for a top level run than getting jobbed out. So this logic would make sense if his recounting of things happens to be true.
Ditto on Shane being a good dude. Office politics are frustrating...he had a good run and still has his health and sanity.
Not only was he a good dude, he was a dynamic dude.
Shane was so underrated he was great on the mic and great in the ring
He's a fantastic listen. Made a fan of me - having missed his wwf and wcw runs because the companies were struggling at the time.
Jim Herd knew only one thing, how to cook a pizza!
If that
Knows how to heat up a pizza.
He just knew how to yell at the guy cooking the pizza! He wouldn't even know where the on button is
Jim Herd is near-universally despised by everyone in the wrestling business who ever interacted with him, and with each mention or story told of him during these interviews, it's very apparent as to why that is.
One person who still likes him would be Eric Bischoff. Jim Herd hired Eric as a third string announcer. That's how he got started in WCW and the rest is history.
shane gives so many details and information about specific people, he's an incredible interview, it's so sad his very first shoot interview with rf video (the one where he is at the pool with francine in a bikini) had the worst audio, you heard bits and pieces but he went into the politics in the wwf and i wish i could have heard every word
It's the same story with WCW: horrible mismanagement that ultimately put them out of business.
Especially in the 90s at various points and in 2000.
Shane Douglas gives the most accurate description of the business that most people would have assuming they are normal. By normal, I mean would fit into normal society at the time. The wrestling business is really, really screwed up. At least, it used to be.
Video Hunter Used to be? I assure you, it still is!
@@msm1876 you know, on one hand, that's a good thing. That's part of the fun of working in the business. On the other hand, it's one of the trashiest experiences you will have, depending on who you work with or for.
I can tell you that the coolest person I met and the business was Sherri Martel. She was so incredibly down-to-earth and nice.
I enjoy Shane’s interviews
Hahahhahahahahaha "I got two masters you jackass, gimmie that." My favorite part
Outta all the shoots I've watched. Shane always comes across as the most genuine. Shane was one of the few "grown men" in a business of scumbags
Hannibal you do the best interviews and Shane is such an interesting well spoken guy.
I sometimes wonder how many people's careers were ruined, cut short, or otherwise derailed as a result of Jim Herd's short run. Not to mention the damage he did to WOW as a whole
Douglas a great interview. Charming and engaging.
Looks like keefer sutherland
Donald Sutherland, would play his Kayfabe, Dad for that "24" (Fox) tv series. Shane would make a great "Lost Boys," as an elder.
Why would missy hyatt be in a booking meeting?
To set in a chair form a far measuring guys dicks!...ahahahahahah!
Because she was married to one of the bookers at ythe time.
She was married to Eddie Gilbert at the time, I believe. He might have told her about Shane getting buried or gotten her in the meeting.
jewggerz exactly
No one I've listened to liked Jim Herd. I'm guessing this was the after Flair quit as booker (because of Herd) and they went to a committee with Hamilton, Ross, Sullivan, and a few others. Cornette quit the committee around then too.
Think of the franchise vs HBK could've been huge but maybe HBK was worried The Francise would get over more then him and there might be ECW chants over a WWF guy or boytoy.
Missy Hyatt was so hot back then
agreed
How did that midget Jason Hervey bag her?
This video sums up why the wrestling business is maybe the most fucked up industry there is. People bashed CM Punk for wanting to get out of the WWE for his health and being lied to or Bruiser Brody for being difficult with promoters. Truth is they were justified because the majority of promoters like Vince McMahon or the old time promoters in the NWA could give a shit about wrestlers or their families (see making the roster work this past Christmas). They would have no issue working you until you dropped dead and steal money from you while doing it.
Another hometown boy. We’ve made quite a few over the years in ‘rasslin’.
Did I miss something? He said he was happy to put Mark over but not with the heart punch?
That was Mark's finisher at the time, what was he angry about?
Mark was an up and coming monster heel, it would have been backwards to have him lose to a much smaller guy at that point
No agent from one to the next hardly ever knew what the fuck they were doing in WCW.
Did Pat offer him Jim Powers spot.........
I believe Shane. As much as I love JR, he spent most of his career as a backstage king maker and is a big part of the political bullshit that surrounded 90's WCW and WWE.
And in defense of Jody Hamilton and JR, they were working for Herd who had no idea what he was doing and were probably just as frustrated as Shane
Was Tom Zink a handsome man?
Douglas had a reputation for exaggerating injuries at that point. The phone calls were probably to keep at him while he was taking time off
The phone calls were dreams lol
I'm laughing because why would they bury sting and lex in 1990, sting was on the shelf from the injury. So Shane is full of shit.
Also when he came into wcw the 2nd time was 99 not 00 for the flair angle..he was in wcw in 99 with benoit, malenko and Saturn
2nd time was 91/92 when he was tag champs with Steamboat
Wasted talent
Every Shane shoot is the same .This guy is an ass ,that guy screwed me ,they held me back ,I will leave the business I don't care .And on and on and on. Yet , he'll work an Indy show for 200. In front of 50 people. In actuality,he was a good mid card talent whose over inflated opinion of himself hurt him.
I have been watching 2000 wcw recently it wasn't great at all. David flair vs shane wasnt believable at all
Bleaching his hair...trying to be like his hero Flair.
Brad Gaines he never wore robes, he never chopped anybody, he never went woo, he never stripped down to his underwear in the middle of the Ring, he never rode in a limousine, and he never flew a jet, the only thing similar is the bleach blonde hair, and even that's off because Ric Flair never had it shaped like that and Ric Flair never had a beard
Whoa...simmer down. It was a joke.
Brad Gaines lol.... I wasn't angry, the Ric Flair thing just kind of threw me off
ha...no worries bud. I just know how much he doesn't respect Flairs lifestyle. I'm a big mark for both guys.
@@theepworthepiscopalspike8698 All douglas had to due was to be 1000000000 times better and he would be half as good as Flair
