I’ve always respected Shane Douglas. The guy has a real passion/love for this business. If you listen to his stories, they never change. I wholeheartedly believe he’s telling the truth. The guy has always been criminally underrated.
He might be distorting some facts. But he’s not the only one who has said this weird shit happened
I have heard him repeat the 'do you agree with that diagnosis?'-conversation. He has never changed his story. I totally believe it.
Yeah he seems more credible than alot of guys on shoot ints.
One way to tell someone is telling the truth...Shane is always consistent in recalling these stories.
@@sendtodevnull1269 I give Douglas credit for mostly being honest on what happened to him in the business.
However, Shane seems like the type of guy who rebels when a booker tells him to job to a certain worker.
For instance, he didn't want to job to Mark Callous (Taker) with the hard punch.
This dude is always detail oriented and his story never changes - no hesitating either like Nash does in his shoots or Mr. “Ya knooooowww” Shawn Michaels does with every answer. Met Shane at Wrestlecon last month and the dude is as straight up as it gets.
But poor Mr Douglas will never be as good as Nash let alone Shawn I don't care what they do in their personal lives as long as they put on a show in the ring
L.J. Wolf Shane Douglas can work circles around Kevin Nash dude.
@@jessieb9384 he's not poor he has a PhD ldegree are u retarded
That's how you know someone is telling the truth.
I remember when I met and interview Shane before Wrestlepalooza in Marietta, GA when I was working for and independent tv station that carried ECW. During my visit Shane and everyone else was classy and treated me a nobody at the time with the utmost respect. Shane if you see this comment thank you very much sir.
In my opinion the Greatest ECW Champion of all time. Heel Shane Douglas in 1998 was Awesome. VERY underrated!
Absolutely...when he was World Television Champion feuding with Tazz...that time period was freakin awesome
The Bret Hart of ECW. He was the guy, along with Benoit, Jericho and the Luchas who kept ECW a serious wrestling company rather than just guys trying to kill each other with construction equipment and other foreign objects for a bunch of sadists. His work with Brian Pillman was excellent. It's just unfortunate that rivalry never went anywhere.
I doubt Shane is lying, the details are so precise and even for him to remember this after many years is crazy. Vince McMahon runs the WWE like a slave plantation.
MrDefeater Vince is a prick!
If you think Democrats are any different than you're a fucking moron...
Bryan Mack you want to blame republicans because a bunch of muscle heads want to be famous and Vince McMahon can make it happen?
That attitude is what makes the left losers
The date doesn’t match up for starters.
MrDefeater
wasn't sure at first, but I think he was agreeing with you. Vin the Mac is a hardcore repub!
Reminds me of what CM Punk said on the infamous podcast. Vince with his "I'll owe you one" time and time again, he just uses people without rewarding loyalty.
Loyalty breeds contempt in a narcissist .
@@georgeelmerdenbrough6906 truth!
Bret Hart also said the same thing.
The mark of a liar: story changes in one way or another each time they re-tell it. Clearly Shane Douglas is NOT a liar. He remembers everything and every detail and never has one detail missing or not the exact way he has told the story before. Love this guy, was lucky enough to meet him in NY at Wrestlecon a few years back. Awesome dude and not a BSer
More evidence that Shane Douglas is not lying is that he is not the first wrestler to complain that WWE pay in 1995 was basically poverty wages. King Mabel, Sean Waltman, Scott Hall, King Kong Bundy, and Kevin Nash for example also confirmed this in shoot interviews.
Completely believe him. He's told the story more than once and it has never changed.
What I don't get if he can't afford to work there why leave and go back to a company where your making less or nothing at all
Shane is very underrated wrestler of both of the 2 major companies WCW & WWF. His stories are always interesting
E C Dub
He was cool as shit in ecw
This was a great story. Shane always was entertaining.
WWE surely missed out on Shane, if y'all never saw his body of work just check on the ECW in the mid to late 90s. he was sensational and tailormade for the Attitude Era
Damn. I actually can relate to his injury and story after an attack on an Afghan mountainside. The fact that he could even stand to try to wrestle and try to take bumps is freaking crazy amazing. I’ve been down those types roads he described. You can feel every twig on the road. That right there tells me Shane Douglas is no joke and is hardcore. He’s freaking awesome to me now. Always loved his work even when i couldn’t stand the gimmicks he got stuck with.
I never knew why he left WWF so this was good to watch
He meant 1995 not 96. Great wrestler who didn’t get the right matches setup. Could have been a good opponent for Bret in Summer 95.
Yes this is 1995 but there is something wrong with his timeline. He said it was thanksgiving week and it was his last week but on December 17 1995 he worked the in your house ppv and was squashed by Ahmed johnson. So he's got it wrong
@@gerilynnlaporte9346 He didnt work the match, he appeared as a manager with Buddy Landel getting squashed by Ahmed but Lawler on commentary says, "We wont be seeing the Dean again"
Yeah I was gonna say, razor was in wcw by thanksgiving of 96.
@Lyles music i guess that’s possible but I doubt he would confuse the two like that. You could be right though
@@gerilynnlaporte9346 if you look at cagematch, his last match was in November 95. Razor was one of his last in the WWF.
I don’t get why so many people shoot on Shane. I’ve always loved the dude
A lot of people don't like the truth, simple as that
It seems if you were a nice guy in the business around the mid 90s, you were an easy target.
Because he was kind of a dick?
Shane Douglas does a great interview.
Shane is a stand up guy. Not too many people like him in the industry, certainly not in those days.
Even with the hostility between Hall and Shane at the time, Razor protected him in the ring and Shane acknowledges Scott did the right thing. This is why I love fake wrestling so much.
The more I hear shoot interviews from Shane the more I like him. I'm sorry I never really appreciated him when he wrestled, more my fault than his. Seems like a great guy which unfortunately are few and far between in the wrestling biz.
Lets be real here its hard to like someone being an asshole while at work.
The year before this happened, Troy Martin (Mr. Martin), was a teacher at my Middle School. I got a different teacher though, so I didn't get the stories and experiences first-hand like many of my classmates.
Still cool though, and back then, most people found the idea of a WWF/WCW Wrestler working as a school teacher during time off from a contract, to be a completely ridiculous and unbelievable idea. Mr. Martin, if you ever read this, maybe things would have worked out better for you, had you stayed at BHS one more year. I hope you are well!
George "The Animal" Steele was a Phy Ed teacher for over 30 years while wrestling every summer
Honky Tonk Man went back to being PE teacher in 1991 fresh off his WWF run. Some wrestlers are ok with being out of the spotlight and back in the real world.
Classic interview Shane Douglas is the man
I love how thorough he is with his storytelling
If his last match was around Thanksgiving of _1996,_ it wasn't Scott (Hall) he faced on RAW. He was in WCW at the time. Had to be 1995.
It was definitely November 1995 because Shane was already in ECW by March of 1996.
Shane should have gone back to WCW because he would gotten guaranteed money. Like them or not, WCW paid which is why everyone headed there in the mid-90's.
@TheAnarchistVenom I have no idea why the franchise character didn't appear straight away on WCW TV. I actually, I think I do understand, given how the inmates were running that Asylum.
Then again, the WWF should have given him something better than that ridiculous Dean Douglas character.
If you were watching at the time, he would definitely know that Shane Douglas was needed to shake things up pretty desperately.
Man, 1995 WWF was terrible.
@TheAnarchistVenom I think I agree w Shaw II. In my teen yrs, I would have agreed w your stance about staying. I often didnt view wrestlers who jumped the same. But at that time I didnt really have much of an idea about adulthood and the responsibilities. I LOVED ECW, but I cant fault fellas for leaving unstable financial situations for more financial stability. From a character standpoint, I do agree. Joining wcw all but set back Douglas' Franchise character. WCW wasnt gonna fully allow Flair and Douglas explore all the backstory that smarks and ecw fans would have been into.and Douglas wasnt in his athletic prime anymore.
@@jh6025 2109 WWEkids is worse.
@@NintendoPsycho I quit watching around WrestleMania 20. It was already getting to a point where you could predict everything. Is it even worse now? I tried to watch it, but it sounds like the audience's observing golf, and all Heat has been permanently stripped.
It also looks like The Opening match and mid car guys are being pushed as the main event. I'm wondering if that is how people saw Shawn Michaels and Bret Hart in the 90s? Some people maybe oh, but I still think those two had it, and today's Talent does not.
@@jh6025 They push indie darlings now.
Vince has admitted he was abused physically, emotionally and sexually as a child. What he will not admit is that he has become a abuser/victimizer today. It is never okay.
Chopped in Chicago Vince is a megalomaniac. Listen to the Jon Moxley interview with Jericho. Just dropped today.
@@POW1E19 I did! That interview has basically shook the world. Vince is a legit sociopaths that hangs and surrounds himself with other sociopaths and exploitive yes men. He is a Narcissist.
I don't believe him .
@@georgeelmerdenbrough6906 You obviously don't know fuck all about pro wrestling
@@stedarkside1529 pfft lol
Shane Douglas is so #underrated
I was one of the Agent's in the room, I witnessed this whole thing...Shane is telling the truth..
I highly doubt you were. Based on your account I'd say you were barely born at the time in question. Either that or you enjoy subbing to 14 year old girls
@@loveulong 14 year old girls? Don't get me mistaken with your personal life child....LMAO!
I bet
He's best as the franchise and no other character
Shane is a wrestler not a cartoon character, he couldn't get over WWE
1000th like and nice video, great quality too. Shane is awesome!!
As a person with an L4 & 5 herniated discs in my back, you were damn lucky to have that doctor there that night, and good for you!
Looking back, one of Vince McMahon's biggest blunders was in the treatment and handling of Troy Martin aka Dean Douglas during his return to WWF in 1995.
The WWF was at an all time low in 95 and desperately needed good heel characters/ wrestlers. Troy Martin was more than the ideal candidate, but Vince saw fit to mistreat him personally as well as professionally, thus preventing such a talented individual from ever working for Vince again.
Imagine if Mr. Martin had been given a better chance to shine in the WWF, to be able to use his talents to the best of his ability. How much of a success do you think he would have been had the management been supportive?
How do you think his role in onscreen role in WWF should have played out?
Most wrestlers hate when fans call them by their real name. Just call him Shane (or Dean) Douglas... that's what he presents himself as when he does anything connected to wrestling, so that's the name we should be using.
Yeah you sound like an asshole
Jonas Dygd respect
One Man Gang / Akeem shared a similar story where that stooge Vince made promises he never kept. Again, need to make a living. It says a lot about Vince.
If Vince acts like that, it's no wonder certain wrestlers walked all over him.
Shane was a great technician! The dean character that Vince gave him was lame though...
I love listening to Shane talk
Met him at a show near me a few years back. Super great guy. We talked for about 20 minutes. Very nice, and great to talk to
I'm deep in the guts of UA-cam right now and this stuff is gold
Yep the infamous baby blue outfit, i was listening to HTMan and he said your WWE career is over when u wear that, Dino Bravo and Rock Muraco and Rougeaus and so on
Yeah wasn't he Dean douglas?
Owen hart
Wow. So much respect for him.
Shane is amazing.
I used to not like Shane Douglas for some reason..probably his wwe character. Now that I've listened to man himself in these shoots....you can tell how down to earth no bullshit kind of guy. Shane has earned my respect to stand up against the boss and stand up for what's right.
Terry O, the franshise Shane Douglas was the hulk Hogan of ecw in 95,96,97,98
I wish Global Force Impact Wrestling (I call it that because of so many re-branding) would hire Shane Douglas, Tully Blanchard, and bring back Jeff Jarrett. Those three running GFIW along w/ Dutch Mantell would be incredible.
Global Force is gone from Impact,and Shane has too much personal heat with Impact to ever want to return there(ala WWE).
This is a great lesson for all areas of life. Never sacrifice your health for an employer. They will use you and throw you away.
I Like Him When He Was In Ecw Especially That 97 98 & Half Of 99 Run
I miss Shane, he was a great wrestler.
Jesus Christ, Shane crawling the length of a football field on his elbows and nobody tried to help him just tells you how gross WWF was.
Here's the thing,Shane could wrestle and had good talents,the trouble was to many numptys stood in his way,and were hell bent on holding him back,and getting in his way,he was great on the mic,sadly by the time he ended up in WCW around 2000,drugs and injuries had taken their toll on him,still got to say,over all a very good reliable wrestler,shame at what could of been,esp in WWF.great interview!
I’ve ruptured the disc in my back after a car crash and I’ve slipped it several times since, hands down the single worst pain I’ve ever been in. I can’t imagine wrestling with it.
DAMN!!! Vince is a BAD GUY!!! he thinks his talent are a bunch of Circus Animals. Vince might be the Boss but also thinks he is a Doctor.
Typical conservative.
Nintendo Psycho Don’t defend Vince. During that era he’d of sacrificed you and your family for ratings. Dude was an absolute demon. Bischoff was competitive but Vince was a demon.
Shane is telling the 1000% truth !!!! No one lies using the word "fulcrum" or the term "shit my kidneys"....
PLEASE do more interviews with 1960s to mid-70s WWWF wrestlers and/or people who wee there in that era or at least are very familiar with that era of the WWWF!
i love him!! 💖
That was an amazing story
Seem like very self respect guy who always stand up for his rights 👍🏼
Shane Douglas is my new favorite veteran wrestler
Shane was a sane man working for a mentally disturbed boss.
Shane came to the WWE at the wrong time,since he should have waited till the late 90s/early 00s(/2000s) to arrive in the WWE where he would have had a much better success and had Grade A class matches with Steve Austin,The Rock,and Kurt Angle.
Wow! ..speechless
Shane Douglas got rail roadid by McMahon. Vince was playing both sides of the Ring. Shane loves wrestling
Shane, is The Man!
Good for Shane he can walk have sex and have a normal life. It's scary that Vince's behavior is not atypical.
I'm glad to hear Shane's side of the story. I wasn't there but I am sure had Shane not been hurt he would've been more than happy to work Madison Square Garden.
After 20 years working around showbiz in wrestling and comedy, I can tell you he's not lying about stuff. He seems too angry and bitter to be just making stuff up. He might not be 100% accurate with his timeline but beef with people doesn't come from nowhere. As a talent there's a certain amount of dealing with bs (co workers, the boss, writers) required to stay employed in entertainment. Triple that of a normal paying job. I could tell you people stories that you wouldn't believe about lying, backstabbing and late/unfair pay. And I'm just a journeyman talent from Jersey who lived in Hollywood for a cup of coffee. The guy who trained me was a WWF star in the 80s. In his day there was no guaranteed money. You had to trust people weren't lying to you. Shane started in that era he didn't forget.
I saw Shane wrestling in Fresno as a kid at the local Selland Arena.
Kevin Kelly beat up Vince mcmahon?!? Holy shit that's hilarious
FakeSharkBate700 pretty sure he’s referencing Nailz who wrested as Kevin Kelly in AWA
Jim Ross beat Vince McMahon so badly that he gave himself palsy.
It is funnier if you picture it being the announcer tho :)
He is referring to Kevin Walcholz who wrestled as Nailz.
I've looked up and down for interviews with this story and each one this story has stayed the same along with the PCO and Kevin nash story.
Shane Douglas was CM Punk before CM Punk was CM Punk.
I really thought it would be “Ric Flair got me kicked out…” Shane’s one sided feud with Flair remains active
Shane Douglas says that his last week in the WWF was Thanksgiving 1996, but that is incorrect. His last appearance in the WWF was the "In Your House" PPV on December 17, 1995.
He was off by like 2 weeks. It was 24 yrs ago.....
@@jrwizz He's off by about a full year, but yeah it's been 24 years ago.....🙄
If shane thinks his last night in the wwf was a house show in the garden, how does he not remember his last night really being December 17,1995 live on ppv in your house from Hershey,pa?
Awesome story!
The dude ar 2:10 sitting in the back, and thinking the PA angrily waving him out of there was just waving hello is so funny.
Only Bret had the courage to punch Vince
Vince let him do it lets not make Bret out to be some kinda hero it was his own fault he was in the spot he was in Bret was hard to work with his last year he didn't want to do the job Vince was his boss you do what the boss says period Brets biggest mistake was being a mark for himself
Uh... Nailz
that promo was fucking awesome
I would love to see that promo, but I cant find it anywhere!
Me too
Vince is the classic sociopath. There's no emotion or caring in there. If it doesn't make him money, it's a waste of time.
Vince is a virgo that explains it all
@Metagalactic Llama Only thing is that I think Vince might be somewhat intelligent.
Any success business owner usually has that mind set . Why have someone work for you that won't help you make money ?
Its a buissnes so yeah if it don't make money it don't make sense
The Franchise! If only if Vince could of let him be the Franchise character in WWF then how things could of been.. But ECW wouldn't of been half as great without him.. Shane an PitBul, Shane an Taz were awesome.
I've never been a wrestler, but i've been in music and dealt with other types of promoters before and this sounds familiar. Promoters can sometimes become the become big monsters and think PR, money and their promotion or show is worth any cost at the expense of anyone employed. Not saying it's 100% true, but any kind of promoter can and have been able to become monstrous. In the past, I've had promoters turn on me because I was debating risking health, safty and my family's finances. I'm talking about smaller promoters too, so I can only imagine how millionaire and billionaire entertainment promoters are treating people as disposable or impractical concerns. They can be sociopathic and psychopathic at times when it comes to their company which is their baby.
Love when people stand up to Vince! He thinks he can intimidate so many people, not all!
That goof at 2:20...
2:19 is when you can tell that the director made hand motions telling that guy to get the fuck out of the shot
I seem to recall Shane Douglas and Shawn Michaels being a team in SWCW down in Texas,but I may be wrong,I was a kid then.
Actually, it was Paul Diamond that teamed with Shawn in SWCW.
@@DefLeppardVanHalen Actually you are wrong.
@@giovannisocci8793 I've checked Shane's stats on Cagematch and Wrestlingdata, and there's no info on Shane Douglas and Shawn Michaels as a team in Southwest Championship Wrestling. However, Shawn and Paul Diamond did team up as American Force in SWCW, which evolved into Texas All-Star Wrestling.
@@DefLeppardVanHalen As a kid I vividly remember watching Shane Doiglas and Michaels as a tag team,they were very popular...but I can t find any videos of them together,they used to wrestle down the street from where I used to live in San Antonio,the fights some times would spill out into the street...But now I am wondering if it ever happened...BUT I REMEMBER IT.
@@giovannisocci8793 Wow! That's awesome. Hey, man, I didn't mean to think that you're wrong. I was just going by the information that I found. I'm sorry that you lost the videos, that would've been both helpful and amazing to see. Hopefully, someone will find the data of their results as a team.
He should have slapped Vince in the goddamn face.
Zorphan Lord If he did. He would have got his ass kicked 👊
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣.... right
The Cooper Tech Kid What? Vince can’t fight.
@@kingeatking Nope fanboy. Nope.
Blake Martin and Douglas can!? I’d take an in shape Vince over Douglas any day of the week.
yeah i'm sure thats how the conversation went.
I still haven't forgiven Vince since he fkd up all the territories. Shane was a great showman in person when I saw him back in the day in the small EWC venues.
Very good guy
So who was that later in December at the IYH PPV?
I'm sure he meant Nov 95 was his last month he was long gone in 96.
If this is true Vince has got some serious issues maybe from all the roids.
Its very clear Vince has a lot of issues. He had a terrible childhood. That doesn't excuse his behavior today. The guy could afford top of the line mental health treatment. He doesn't even provide it for his wrestlers (that die constantly from mental health related stuff) but he is too much of a coward.
@@illinoiscannabisreviews1738 hmmm. Sounds a lot like his buddy, who occupies the white house.
Old news. Mcmahon's are assholes.
@@romeross1557 Exactly. Don't forget, Linda serves in his "cabinet" as well.
Although to be fair, Shane McMahon is the silver lining of the McMahons. Most people who’ve worked under/with him have described him as being a standup, caring and all round nice guy
Pay was pretty horrendous back then as the business was in a terrible drought.
Nailz (Kevin Kelly), not the Commentator Kevin Kelly, punched Vincent McMahon. Nailz was in a feud with the Big Boss Man (Bubba Rogers aka Ray Traylor), in the WWF/WWE.
This guy and Bret Hart have the best shoots because EVERYTHING they say is backed up.
Shane Douglas for the HOF!!
Sucks what happened to him, but aside from that Shane Douglass can really talk and give great stories.
Every wrestler of that era states you could take a nightly $200 draw (advance) to help out with expenses. If Shane couldnt make his mortgage, but worked 28 days a month....that's $5600 in draws for that month he could've taken. Was he not accepting those cause every other wrestler states they took em just to make sure they got paid something. As for the back issue, he has been on point on every single interview about what happenned & stayed consistent.
The French Fries Shane Douglas!
Glad to hear dustin rhodes was there to help
When he said Kevin Kelly knocked Vince on his ass 🤣 no Shane it was Kevin Wacholz Nailz 😂
He used to wrestle as Kevin Kelly. A lot of wrestlers refer to him by that name :)
