TNA: "The Franchise" Shane Douglas Returns

[TheShadowBrigade]

You notice a difference from the crown back then as opposed to the crown today? They actually made real noise as opposed to the piped in shit that they put in during production nowadays.

[asqwzxe]

i think he failed

[MRDXKLIQ101]

i loved this promo

[kimv020887]

Hey guys when Shane said "Trying to rape the legacy of the company that I, Chris Candido and Bam-Bam Bigelow made on this sooners," is Shane referring to the ill-fated ECW brand that Vince put out? REPLY BACK.

[DaveWazzify]

R.I.P. Candido. I miss The Naturals :( One of the best teams in TNA history IMO. Too bad Douglas is retired now... still, bring back Chase! He was always the favorite anyways! Lol

[TravisDrago]

I agree I want the Naturals back in TNA

[R8TEDME]

TNA needs to bring back the NATURALS!

[mattymoore17]

is the blonde head dolf ziggler

[jocam32]

wheres ur skateboard dynamic dude?

[jocam32]

so...u squandered that 4% in ring talent u had by being blinded by that 13% promo talent u had!!

[jeffery2343]

how did candido die?

[youngsterguy4]

@jeffery2343 A blood clot after surgery

[MRDXKLIQ101]

wresting aint the same without candido i think he belongs in the hall seriously look how good he was for his size wwe and wcw dropped the ball on him

[guils4000]

i wish stevens would return to TNA go for single belt now that andy retired

[SuperWarking]

RIP Mr. Candido and continue to preach Franchise!

[JanettySupportTour]

Dean Douglas looks fat now

[justinhayden]

shane douglas my favorite wrestler the last original nwa world champion and the best floor manager of all the times is there anything the franchise cant do hell no he can do everything but make a 100% black baby and no im not rascist my fiancee is mixed...

[Klidas]

[shinbanman]

Lol, like I've said 100 times before, Shane Douglas looks like a Mutant Pig Monster!

[czwisgreat]

good vid

[bertskank]

its a shame these guys didn't last...

[guy2008rules]

Are you gonna take that Vince?

IRISH JACKASS

[castlevamp]

irish jackass vinny mack got pwned! lol

[lonnieh74]

its a shame that tna didnt book shane douglas and the naturals right it was a waste of his time they could have been great team today and didnt the naturals go to the wwe?

[justinhayden]

they were trying for the ecw version of the triple threat but it didnt work and the original triple threat was shane as leader and the other two original triple threat members were bam bam biggalo and primetime brian lee...

[kimv020887]

@justinhayden The Triple Threat was composed of Douglas, Francine, Bam Bam, Brian lee, etc. You forgot Francine.

[fmthebaron]

Dean Douglas has always been nothing but a loud mouth loser who's "All Bluff and No Stuff".

[marth2o]

nuthin will b more extreme than ECW

[crepepariscafe]

CrepeParisCafe . c o m you can franchise with them for $1033 per year. Even existing restaurants can franchise with them. That is a pretty inexpensive way of owning your own business I think.

[guitarheroproman]

tna suck  wwe rock

[dublinfool25]

Why is shane douglas talkin like he ever did anything?? this guy was the shits everywhere he went.

[tnarocks454]

love it

[TheEdgeheadForever]

shut up fag

[pmh632]

u are coz u take camshows for me and wanna suck my fat cock

[TheEdgeheadForever]

nice comeback fag,cena fans don't watch tna anyways so leave.

[JUGGALOMETAL80]

@111naak111 hell yeah

[BigLee148]

@111naak111 what said Cena is a good Wrestler cause they need a reality on that

[darksayese]

john cena fuckin blows, the guy cant wrestle worth shit, and hes fuckin annoying

[darksayese]

@pmh632 ok there, shane douglas a nobady, man shane doaglas can tottally outwrestle john cena, man cena only knows a handfull of moves

[schram21891]

@pmh632 Proof you're an idiot: Shane Douglas is far from a nobody. WWE is not the only wrestling promotion in the world kid. He is pretty well known; maybe not to you however. Secondly, John Cena sucks. No matter if its because WWE makes him into a "super hero" for the kiddies, or a thug for the kiddie gangsters...he sucks. His most entertaining match was his debut match vs Kurt Angle. Thirdly, "not this nobody." is not a full sentence. I'm just trying to help Illiterate Cena fans.

[ECWfnfans]

@pmh632 .. Nobody .. .Wooow ,, you dont know wrestling for shit. Shane Douglas is a 100 time the wrestler cena will ever be.

[NotYourAverageJoe321]

@pmh632 i got a small dick, and no John cena is not the franchise. first off, if anyone should be the face of wwe right now, it should be orton because hes way more over than cena right now, not to mention a much better performer and wrestlers. and 2, you little jabroni, shane douglas has been the franchise since before cena even started wrestling. ALL HAIL SHANE DOUGLAS

[JUGGALOMETAL80]

@darksayese hell yeah

[JPSProductions]

The only reason he has the belt is because a tone of ill informed 9 year olds buy his Shirts, DVDs, and Toys. If not for his effect on merchandise sales he would be a second class jobber behind Funaki and the boogeyman.

[thechaz83]

get your hand out of Cenas front pocket you queer.

[BIGZENTERTAINMENT]

hes the champ becouse hes the only piece of shit wwe has

[RandoBoy1]

Overrated. He has no technical skill at all. WWE only use him because he sells Merchandise.

[nodqisme222]

who isn't a Cena fan? Everyone over 14

[luxors1919]

Umm being a champion doesn't make you a good wrestler, espically in the WWE. It all depends on what Vince wants and thinks is good for the business.

[hbk4eva1]

@luxors1919 while bein a champion doesnt make you a good wrestler, being a good wrestler makes you a champion.

[luxors1919]

@hbk4eva1 So that's why John Cena is WWE Champion? He is the worst wrestler in the WWE today!

[hbk4eva1]

@luxors1919 is it still cool to hate on cena for no reason? I thought that was more of a 2006 thing. Say what you will about Cena, but he has had some great matches and has worked for everything he has achieved.

[PivotMakeranimations]

are u 5 years old?

[samir14o]

this is shit

[chivoxtrereme]

john cena sucks

[alotfallend364]

lawl I must be god then.

[TDrocks100]

i bet you dont wrestle and john cena sucks so hard

[Ryldrin]

@pmh632 A year old comment or not, Douglas was the Franchise WAY before Cena was even known.

[Hasilpur1]

dean douglas is back!" oh no!" this guy has sucked in every promotion other than ecw. hes old and washed up now in 2009. might as well bring back buff bagwell lol.

[rockcentral28]

What happened to the Naturals?

[Megamannick1414]

thats funny because in 2009 Douglas returned in Slammervary week

[tnaajstyles1]

what wwe need

over the years wwe was the best intille tna comes now is a bettal between this tow(tna said) i'know that wwe has 25 years when he is on the tv butte tna much better becaus pepol like aj styles and sting... who keep it going i'was a fan 2 wwe butte after a wayl i'relais they war acting the only werstlers i'love in wwe are undertaker and 3h

[djaeonx]

What? Didn't Understand what u said? LEARN TO TYPE, IDIOT

[craignuste]

speak english please

[hardcorebuddy]

What???

[Takerslady]

The Naturals were great, why'd TNA turn them into jobbers and then fire them!?!?!?!?!

[thuggin83]

Well WWE didnt do em any better they both got squashed by tha Big Show and were never seen again!!!

[arsenedevos]

This isnt fighting, this is acting..

[ElectroX24]

Why are YouTube losers talking crap about TNA signing these older talents who always had a cult following by the way like Raven or Shane Douglas or maybe TAZZ cause they don't look as good as they used to. That's cause they are much older now idiots. What do you expect ?? I don't mind seeing familiar faces that I used to love watching on ECW or WCW or WWE because these people can seriously cut promos and are entertaining Let's give them a chance if they can still go in the wrestling ring

[17aldine]

BRING THE NATURAL BACK

[blondesoccer7]

raven and shane douglas r coming back 2 tna

[coldazice26]

question is why

[CesarManiaX]

I want to see Shane Douglas do a straight up shoot promo on iMPACT

[datasianboiennit]

shane douglas is comin bak in tna

[BloodTampon]

yeah and it looks like raven and stevie richards are being allies again too

[chriskoob]

maybe they can do an angle where raven molests sandman's now 17 year old son, new jack could do a run in on team 3-D and shane can start up a brand new triple threat with daniels, aj and samoa joe and we could just rehash ecw all over again

[theimp1995MAI]

raven molests sandmans son..... thats fucked up kid

[Pcfan11]

Who can actually disagree to this?

[flannaban]

the guy on the right looked like CM Punk

[g15h]

The Best Talent to ever come out of ECW

The Franchise Shane Douglas

[chriskoob]

now you just pissed off all the RVD fans for that one

[Ben10Marvelfan]

Hes coming back this week!

[GunsNRevolvers2]

The Franchise is coming back to TNA this week!!

[cobainsprodigy]

i cant wait, i love his promos!

he deserves to still be involved in wrestling.

[DennisHarcourt1]

the greatest ecw champion ever

[StoneColdBeer316]

great shot at Vince he fucked ECW to what it is now garbage

[Organasm]

Or the best weekly wrestling show on TV.

[TheMan750]

what happened to this tna and not the bullshit that i stoped watching

[Threatz2009]

wht ever happend to this team they kicked ass MMG wouldnt last a Year with them

[CrYtoTheSkY]

this 3 woesome guys should be in tna again, specialy chase stevens. just like with jeff hardy (chase are not good like him but its the same situation), I Always loved Jeff even before he was a big star,

and I said he can be one of the best just like today, and just like him cause got the skills to be great X champ/World champ one day.

[matthardygurl]

THey are wrestling but for the indy companys. NAd they are still the best that TNA had.

[Lurvy1963]

Sorry Mr Franchise Shane Douglas. But those guys were The Naturals, not The Triple Threat. You, the late Chris Candido and the late Bam Bam Bigalow were The Triple Threat. Speaking of The Naturals, whatever happened to those guys?

[HardcoreKatsu]

the naturals are the most kickass tag team. They should come back and go against Beer Money.

[truckdriver402]

Who?

[DBZmegafan99]

I MISS THE NATURALS

[pxe]

I remember this, TNA was a pretty cool all around product then and we had this realistic, easy-to-relate to storyline... Now it's just Russorific WCW 2.0. :(

[HardcoreKatsu]

lmao at Russorific, WCW lol yeah i liked the edge of the storyline.. It was great... This is how it should be right now..

[mario6sic6]

whos the irish jackass?

[brethartfan]

I think he mean's Vince McMahon.

[jww112093]

He is talking about Paul Heyman.

[FoCuS138]

paul heyman's jewish

[HardcoreKatsu]

paul Hayman is Jewish.. not Irish..

[willierk0]

Dude, its possible to be both. i guess he didn't say Jew because Jews were producing this stuff.....lol

[godzilla0083]

He's talking about Vince McMahon.

[ECWNET]

Judaism is a religion, not a race...

[jww112093]

It is Vince, He destroyed E.C.W

[23vicious]

paul heyman build ecw but it was also he who brought it down..dont get me wrong i always loved ecw...but it wasnt vince who took it down

[HardcoreKatsu]

lmao what other jackass would he be talking about.. This is how TNA should be right now with this kind of edge.

[BruiserDrop]

He talking about the Irish Jackass Vince McMahon who killed the company Shane build on his back.

[WikkidGuy21]

I dont know about overrated. Shane could of been one of the greatest but ECW was to small to get to that level, WCW was closing shop when he was there so he had nowhere to go there. and WWF (at the time) gave him one of the worst gimmicks ever and Shawn Michaels (along with his kliq) did not like him at all. so he was no really given any chance to get over except in ECW. Shane could of def. been one of the greats

[Grave8392]

first ever ecw champion acording to wwe

[DeGenerationY1989]

Jimmy Snuka was the first ECW Heavyweight Champion (when ECW was in the NWA and it was called Eastern Championship Wrestling) but Shane Douglas had 4 ECW Heavyweight championship reigns for nearly 900 days combined... so, "The Franchise" Shane Douglas is the greatest wrestler in ECW's history.

[Grave8392]

i wouldn't say best ecw wrester b/c there are the mager five in my mind shane douglas sabu rvd raven and the sandman

[Sweetguy9009]

It's funny to me that Shane Douglas is telling Paul Heyman, Dixie Carter, Jim Cornette, Vince McMahon, Jeff Jarrett, or anyone who has or had any talent or political stroke in this business that he should have been right up there with Shawn Michaels, Ray Stevens, and Ric Flair as the best workers in this business and many big events did he sell out? How many arenas/stadiums did he sell out? I don't know Shane the person, but Shane the wrestler overrated.

[willwazere]

lol rape the legacy, classy line lmao

[thuggin83]

He has a house out in Parrish,FL and he came to my Wal-Mart and NO BODY knew who he was eXcept me and another guy who knows wrestling I got his autograph on a cardboard boX and he ended up actually losin his glasses at tha store and came back to look for em and he was very polite..VERY BIG but very polite.I wouldnt mind seein him come back but I doubt he will

[Bloodsport1]

He used pills.

[stxrattbastard]

Troy "Shane Douglas" Martin is an 8th Grade History teacher outside of Pittsburg, PA.

[JJerkins07]

Where is Shane Douglas now? We need the Franchise back!

[BundeyHardy]

im miss so much to the naturals, specialy to chase, the naturals its one of the best tag team in the history of tna and tna should bring them back!

assholes like davari with job in tna and the naturals not? fuck you dixie!

[xLikeGrant123]

Let's take the WWE to war with the final ECW One Night Stand from the Hammerstein Ballroom in 2009. Your main event The Franchise Shane Douglas vs The former Game but now a political whore Triple H.

[Vulture629]

It would be awesome to see Shane Douglas on TNA now with all the Main event mafia BS.

[dannybammy]

It would be awesome for shane to join MEM

WATCH him take over and kick kurt angle out of MEM

[ONDERON101]

the franchise will always be a legend

[NBFLASH]

The man, then voice, THE FRANCHISE! No matter what he's doing he's always ready to represent the extreme for those that gave their lives for that very thing!!!

[SnoiltheRipper]

THATS MY TEACHER! TROY MARTIN!

[timmay1627]

Shane got fat!!!

always awsome on the mic though!!

[Turp28]

The naturals were a great tag team and TNA just like alot of thier original talent they fucked these guys up.

[nyy4288]

the reason I can't watch tna is the announcers are so fucking annoying

[f00kbush]

why??

[DomTuccio]

Douglas is the man when they take him off the leash. Thing is, he cant be his real character since its on national television.

[FoCuS138]

hehehe vince is an irish jackass

[ajcolor]

I love the Franhise. I thought it was so funny when Shane made that comment and the tv signal went bad.

[daxnikof]

they just jobbed to big show didnt they

[lilvin69]

i think

[coilerbobby]

yup, it was them

[jami3r00]

its a shame he sweared on candido and his father to take them to the top, yet TNA released them and gave up on them.

[deathwolf171]

Actually they asked for their TNA release believe it or not

[BruiserDrop]

From what I hear The Naturals did evrything they could in TNA and then bit the hand that fed them when they found out WWE was interested.So TNA released them(not before booking them for a couple more PAYED dates).WWE wanted to use them to screw with the TNA fans they way they do with all TNA guys.Problem is I Believe Andy Douglas posted online that the Naturals would be heading to WWE.Vince McMahon didn't like that for some reason.Long stupid story.They just need to come back to TNA.

[b7i7l7l7y7]

Yeah the whole story is that TNA didn't buy their plane tickets to an event and they got pissed.

[jami3r00]

you are a NOOB

[Monkgangsta]

no man that's Andy Douglas and Chase Stevens.. the naturals. They were in TNA but now I think the wrestle for WWE since the fought the bigshow on Smackdown

[hiandhappy]

there in the wwe??!!!?? well wtf why is the wwe not doing anything with them they were like the greatest if not the 2ed greatest tag team in TNA history.they could be wwe tag champs easy.

[mcjeff1234]

clever guy,he used to teach my cousin at high school,great teacher

[phenomjsr]

does somebody has a tribute to shane douglas

[Novakane487]

WOW! Shane Douglas affiliated with the NWA after what he did back in 94? It's ironic that he would end up there after he pretty much pissed on the whole history of NWA when he won the belt and pissed on it which launched ECW. I guess the bridges weren't completely burnt.

[heyyy456]

now there is one, just put his name in and it will show up.

[HardcoreKatsu]

haha thats what I was saying... I think he only did it cause it was TNA/NWA.. If that makes Sence... Hell even now people can watch NWA shows on tv, if you have Dish Network... Or you have high speed Internet and watch it on there new NWA site..

[Josekillsy0u]

ha ha he works at target now

[MRDXKLIQ101]

i want to see the franchise one more time on tna tv

[k0kan3]

damn i miss douglas wrestling full time

[heyyy456]

the reason why he stopped full time because he was a believer of letting the younger wrestlers have their time in the spotlight, now he`s in his 40s.

[jmantnafan]

well...that guy is an irish jackass and that company they built isnt a real company wwe(worst wrestling ever) Vince Mchmahons ecw= extremely crappy wrestling

[trdcleveland858]

Both Have Problums And There Both There Names Are Vince, WWE Has Vince McMahon & TNA Has Vince Russo. McMahon Is A Piece Of Crap I,d Never Work For, I Might Die If I Did, Ask Owen,Eddie & Benoit. Russo Might Ruin What Career Is Left In Front Of Me. Book Me In A Bad Gimmick Or Bad Storyline Instead Of Letting Me Be Myself. No, I,ll Stick To Watching Old Stuff.

[somebody2185]

Maybe one of them could teach you where capital letters go.

[trdcleveland858]

I,ve Always Wrote Like This, Plus, Get This, I,ll Majoring In Journalism In College Soon. Is'nt That Cool???

[somebody2185]

Lol, good luck with that, I hope you work out your typing problems by then.

[trdcleveland858]

Thanks

[jmantnafan]

where the hell is shane douglas anyways? i want him to come back, thats why tna needs 2 hours

[the1936]

Cant wwe and tna be sepret wrestling promotions without one of them ending it all?

[Pcfan11]

Nah.

Like, one of the reasons WCW invented Monday Night Nitro wasnt just because of Bischoff's desire to compete, their old program, good as it may have been, was floundering in slightly advertised indy-land while WWF was destroying happy days ratings with Ho Kogan and The ultimate waaaaaaaaaaaaarior battling it out.
