After listening to all of the shoots from this platform, Shane is not only one of greatest wrestlers ever, but he's like a friend that you look forward to hear from again. Thanks Franchise for being so personable...and if you do another 10 or more of these, we all will be grateful to see you back again!
Although I’ve thought you were an awesome wrestler since I first saw you as a kid going through Smokey WCW and WWF the last year or so listening to you on Podcast I realize what an awesome human being you are. Sadly that can’t be said for a lot of wrestlers. I always wanted to find a show to go to too meet you but it seemed some health issue always came up. I had tickets back in 99 to see you in Huntington Wv and I ended up in the hospital having emergency life saving kidney surgery the day before the show. It’s all been downhill since then lol
I've been super impressed with these Shane interviews. This guy is a real life genius! Can you imagine with his mind and experience if he was booking today? Maybe we'd have a product worth watching. Fantastic job with these chats, please keep it up!
Him and Dutch booking matches together. Corny has more wrestling knowledge than anyone in the industry but he’s to into the weird gimmick guys/matches or at least used to be. It’s been years since I’ve watched wrestling on a regular basis. I’m more into MMA now
Im from South Philly I was there the night Shane through down the NWA title Im on the dvd marking out. But Shane Douglas was and is one of the best heels Ive ever seen. Man his entrance withDeep Purple and him selling the kiss from Francine. Shane youre the man.
I went to a show in Stanford on Halloween, Shane dressed up like Dean Douglas and Candido dressed like Skip, and during the main event a chair flew by my head and at the end of the show I had blood on my shoes.
Why tf did we not have a record breaking tag title run with a main event tag team of Franchise and Jeff Jarrett circa 1999/2000 is what I wanna know - “The Main Event” as a team name too is gold
Kiss Really Fit ECW as they took the makeup from Japan which that FMW style Wrestling was popular there. I sold so many of those comics for like 40 bucks when was doing Comic Sports Shows in 90s. Really was wondering why he wasn't on the Candido episode. I liked his take on Sunny who would have been better off if never got into wrestling probably. I cried about the DRoz thing as I knew people who were at that SmackDown. They were talking about how since the roids that D Low can't do that move or pickup guys properly anymore. I don't think I even recall JYD in ECW other than his issues with New Jack. I like that shirt. I knew Phil Baroni the NYBA among others who went into MMA. Matt Serra even got his Tuxedo from place I did Modeling for friend owned. Sabu I always liked his intro song Haku Blues :). Great Stuff dude :).
As a huge fan of wrestling for 45 years and coming from Wheeling WV (45 minutes away from Pittsburgh) and a big fan of the black and gold sports teams it's really cool to hear that you're a fan of my favorite band also KISS, I've been a fan of your's since you were the leader of the greatest faction in ECW history the triple threat
ALSO: can you do a topic episode of the WWF New Generation era during Dean douglas time and how things were behind the scenes please! Even if it’s a 2+ part ep!
Perfect strangers was the comeback album for gillan after his brief stint with black sabbath. He recorded, toured born again and damn near lost his voice
I REALLY think you should call the show something short and that pops - “REVOLUTION” w franchise is great title for the show - or if you don’t like short titles “The Finisher” or “Dirty Finish” with Shane Douglas
Metallica didn't write whiskey in a jar. It's an old Irish drinking song hundreds of years old. It's amazing how many people don't know that. The Grateful Dead actually covered it first years earlier and their version is actually much better
Granted I’ve not heard the Grateful Dead version. But hearing other songs by them. Nothing they sang compares to anything Metallica wrote and/or sang. Metallica/Black Sabbath was groundbreaking music for that time.
The home Depot or Lowes bill must have been massive on the regular in ECW! I wonder if anyone has ever counted the number of broken tables during ecw's lifespan, when Paul E began his ECW! Till it's demise! I'd bet 1000 or more. Also chairs and ladders!
Well I don't like kiss or maiden, but I do like KoRn, Alice in chains, Deftones, tallah, slipknot, Linkin park that kinda stuff. Just my musical taste! I also play drums, guitar, bass, I tickle the ivory's a bit, I'll have you know!

Shane is such a joy to listen to, he's extremely articulate and well spoken.
Oh, and KiSS rules! "She'll only make you crrrrryyy, Strutter!"

Unfortunately, Mr. Douglas was right about us being in a phase of wrestler deaths. This was filmed before Mr. Funk and Mr. Rotunda. 😢
Shane's a great talker. I listened to James first "official" podcast with him and alledgely" his new series.
Im from South Philly I was there the night Shane through down the NWA title Im on the dvd marking out. But Shane Douglas was and is one of the best heels Ive ever seen. Man his entrance withDeep Purple and him selling the kiss from Francine. Shane youre the man.
So many of these. Not that I’m complaining. Love hear my favorite wrestler talk and tell stories.

Very well spoken.
Also one of the greatest names is pro wrestling history.
"The Franchise"

Jeff sucks? Lol
Shane Douglas, one hell of a tile setter

I'd rather watch Shane tell stories than watch wrestling today

Amazing interview. Shane has an amazing mind
I'd say Brian pillman was very underrated! That guy should have been on top...even post accident.
ALSO: can you do a topic episode of the WWF New Generation era during Dean douglas time and how things were behind the scenes please! Even if it’s a 2+ part ep!
For who the bells toll is nick gages music since 2000s
I could listen to Shane Douglas and his stories all day long. Should actually replace today's wrestling on TV.
You still got it!
Man in the Box was Dreamers entrance song.
JYD was in WCW in 90 in stings dudes with attitudes group.
Just dodon'forget to bring the snugages!
For Whom The Bell Tolls is a great choice of entrance song
Yes Nick Gage uses it and it's an awesome entrance if you've never seen it
“Why did ECW get banned from the Comfort Inn?” sounds like the setup to a joke
I would never go see KISS live now. If I wanted to hear a recording, I'd listen to one of their albums.
Gene is also sober. Ace is the f*ck up between those 2 😂
Perfect strangers was the comeback album for gillan after his brief stint with black sabbath. He recorded, toured born again and damn near lost his voice
I have always been told and witnessed that deaths comes in threes and finally the third person was announced, Droz! Funk, Wyatt and Droz
This must be a little old, Droz passed in June
I REALLY think you should call the show something short and that pops - “REVOLUTION” w franchise is great title for the show - or if you don’t like short titles “The Finisher” or “Dirty Finish” with Shane Douglas
Hard road out of hell or Man that you fear both by Manson would be good songs, along with any Metallica songs would be great walk out/hype music
I would love for you to interview Raven.
Metallica didn't write whiskey in a jar. It's an old Irish drinking song hundreds of years old. It's amazing how many people don't know that. The Grateful Dead actually covered it first years earlier and their version is actually much better

Metallica Seek and Destroy, now that's an entrance theme!......
Why does he keep referring to Iron Sheik as 'Kosmo" when his name is Khosrow
Kiss is the Steven segal of rock bands
Yes yes yes..that's absolutely lenny kravitz problem. No great bass
Shane is the shite!!
Does anyone know what Shane's condition is with the what seems to be extreme acid reflux?
1:11:37 for a later date
My entrance music was adidas by KoRn, then headup by the Deftones!
I’ve ran several scams in my younger years ( 39 years ago at least). Name I used was Shane Douglas.
I love Shane talking wrestling. I don't agree with his right wing political leanings but I respect his opinion.
Hell yeah....the Steelers are my team too, fun fact Eric bischoff's favorite team is the Steelers too

Lmfao, that sheik impression is boarder line racist, in a good way lol
D-lo killed him
