The Franchise Shane Douglas being escorted out of Wells Fargo Center in Philly at WWE Raw 3/19

Pre-story: Shane Douglas attended WWE Raw 3/19 in Philly wearing a Lucha mask and sitting hard shot camera side right in the middle. During the Kane / Big Show match up, Shane became very hot wearing a long sleeve shirt and mask and had to "get out of that shirt and mask" dying of heat. He wore the mask to conceal his identity so he would not disturb the show, but became irate of Vince McMahon's product that he got up, turned his back on the product and proceeded to walk out of the building on his own. While he was walking out several small E-C-W chants ensued, before security converged on Shane to take him into custody. Video of this is online here on youtube and is already at 65,000 views in 24 hours! This was no invasion angle, as it was not planned to be that at all, but just a guy looking to take in some wrestling action, and just getting infuriated with what he was watching.

Extreme Reunion officials were contacted earlier today 3/20 that a fan happened to take his camera and put it into video mode to catch up with Shane Douglas as he was being detained by security at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia at WWE Raw 3/19 taping. The fan ran from the opposite side of the building to not only grab this great candid video, but also got to meet "The Franchise" one on one outside after being thrown out for associating with the Franchise.

Shane Douglas and the Extreme Reunion officials were busy all day Monday 3/19 shooting videos throughout South Philly and Northeast Philadelphia. In South Philly Shane stopped by his old stomping grounds the ECW Arena, and as he was getting ready to leave, the new owners of the building invited Shane in to use the building for whatever. Interesting. Shane also stopped down on Jewelers row to visit longtime friend and former ECW owner Tod Gordon. Later in the evening he was seen in a confrontation with Pitbull Gary Wolf in South Philly. More videos to come.

All these things on 3/19 was to raise awareness and publicity for the 4/28 Extreme Reunion event in Philadelphia. Tickets on sale at www.extremereunion.net

Yes McMahon and Dixie Carter have "fucked it up enough" as Douglas says. Yet in reality how "fucked up" are watching the same match over and over at these reunion shows? Nothing against the workers of the old ECW, but c'mon guys. How many time can you hear "Holy Shit! Holy Shit!" and "You Fucked Up" and still get the satisfaction out of it? Called me ignorant, but ECW is and has been dead since 2001. Give it up already. This is the state of pro wresting, it's sad, but true.

"Fuck you Shane"

"Refund"

Heard Extreme Reunion was a disaster.

"This was no invasion angle, as it was not planned to be that at all, but just a guy looking to take in some wrestling action, and just getting infuriated with what he was watching."

Yeah, cause I'm sure everyone else wasn't infuriated when Shane and his friends put up that awful reunion show on April 28th. I'm sure that show far surpassed the WWE product.

oops I meant he held titles in the wwf not the main one itself and you're right he was never the WCW champion but he was a 4 time ecw champ

[switchbuckle5th]

I'm pretty positive he was never a WWE Champion, and if he was he never did a damn thing of note. I'm also not certain he was a WCW champion, but that one seems like a more likely possibility.

yea ecw was cheap....but the product was awesome...i watched it all the time back in the day

[Travis Silvers]

the franchise.....was awesome back n ecw...

[Victor Marinaccio]

Here's a little note that guys like Shane Douglas should remember. When the original ECW went bankrupt the WWE was one of their creditors to the tune of $500,000.

[iDigCr4zyChicks]

He's a former WWE,WCW and ECW champion not a "little nobody indy"

[Centauros214 .]
