Guest stinkypoohead Report post Posted June 12, 2003 ummm was that fat guy with the bleach blonde hair throwing raven into the rails on nwa-tna last night Shane Douglas...i only saw the pics of the show on the nwa website and saw a sign saying "time to franchise the nwa" or something..so im assuming so. but i thought Franchise was over at xpw as there champion. What happened to Sabu..? it must really piss Raven off with every chance he gets close to the title some old ECW guy pops up and fucks it up for him...

Guest it-lenny Report post Posted June 12, 2003 but i thought Franchise was over at xpw as there champion. XPW is on hiatus, Douglas needs to work, thus the reason you see him on NWA-TNA Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Slapnuts00 Report post Posted June 12, 2003 Sabu missed his flight one week and then disappeared the next. He pulled the same act his last stint. I don't know what the deal with Douglas is except that they originally wanted to bring him in to work 2 weeks ago but he injured his arm (is it better now?)

Guest it-lenny Report post Posted June 12, 2003 he injured his arm (is it better now?) Douglas seems to always have the arm-injury going.. Im not a franchise follower, but Im pretty sure the arm things a long-time work on his part. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Slapnuts00 Report post Posted June 12, 2003 oh well he worked the first 2 dates of the WWA tour, but broke his arm on the second and was unable to work the third (which was the PPV). So I doubt it's a work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest hebtheeagle Report post Posted June 13, 2003 BTW, Shane Douglas no longer works for XPW. He is not their champion anymore. As far as a Douglas-Raven feud...oh geez, that'll put asses in the seats! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
B. Brian Brunzell 0 Report post Posted June 13, 2003 Give Douglas a week or two and he'll fuck himself out of another job. Then we won't have to worry about him ever again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest hebtheeagle Report post Posted June 13, 2003 It's not that I don't like Douglas, I just don't think he's adds anything to the product. Have Ravne feud w/ Styles over the belt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest BoboBrazil Report post Posted June 13, 2003 Douglas did look in way better shape on TNA. He was so bloated looking in WCW. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Raven_Effect01 Report post Posted June 14, 2003 Why, if you dont mind me asking? It must be some silly "You look too much like me, now I'm going to kick your ass for it"-type thing. That would be as crazy as HHH shooting on Jericho for "looking like him." Yeah right, Hunter. Everyone can tell the difference. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest The Decadent Slacker Report post Posted June 15, 2003 i haven't really seen Douglas since like '98 & some fleeting WCW stuff, but as long as he can draw interest i don't care. i'd rather see him with West & Tenay, even though i get sick of him talking, since that's all he's especially good at anymore from what i've read. IMO he's nothing without Francine, but then since when has my opinion mattered? i hope they aren't counting on him as a huge draw though. if they want that, then i have 4 words for them: Ring of Honor Invasion Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest BoboBrazil Report post Posted June 15, 2003 Riiight. a ROH invasion would draw huge seeing as how they can only get 200-300 fans to a show and TNA already uses alot of the same talent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Adam 0 Report post Posted June 15, 2003 You are right, ROH isn't THAT huge, and although alot of people would know what it is, it wouldn't really improve the fanbase at all, whats the point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
