Thoughts on this man? I think he was AMAZING. He was one of the best promo guys EVER. And he had some pretty great matches in ECW.

If he could have kept himself in check and not get pissed off over everything, he could have been huge.

I loved when he got pissed at everything. Shane Douglas pissed= godly promos.

When Shane Douglas was on, he was awesome. The only things that held him back were burned bridges (apparently wrestling's big shots didn't enjoy his promos as much as fans did) and injuries. He was a great wrestler, but he got hurt a LOT.
His ECW promos were absolute gold, though. One of my favorite promos ever was a Shane Douglas interview (with Candido and Bigelow as the Triple Threat) about "smart marks" which began as a storyline rant on Lance Storm wanting to join the Triple Threat, and ended up a semi-shoot against marks and wrestlers who behave like marks.

his attitude was perfect for being the man to be champ for the birth of the hardcore ecw. his work over the years kind've got rougher and rougher and he was never a primer performer but as elden said, his promos are one of a kind quite often

Shane Douglas is one of the best promo men in the history of wrestling! I can listen to him cut promos all day long and it wouldn't bore me. He's also a solid in ring competitor. The best ECW champion of all time!

In wrestling, you have to play politics to keep people happy. Douglas did not do this very well, and it hurt him in the long run. If he would've played ball better, he probably would have made enough to live comfortably after retirement. Just into his 40's, he's starting a whole new career in retail store management.

Yeh I think it was in a Kevin Nash shoot interview he criticised shane douglas - basically you can't become a big time player by just shouting and screaming F**k and sh*t on the mic over and over again.
