Is Shane Douglas a WWE Hall of Famer?

Is Shane Douglas a WWE Hall of Famer? On Bruce Prichard's Something to Wrestle podcast, he addressed potential WWE Hall of Famers. One of the names brought up was Shane Douglas. Prichard had this to say:

“Probably not… Shane’s definitely had a Hall of Fame career though.”

Which I agree with. So why not induct Shane into the Hall of Fame? I'm assuming it's because of some of his comments and actions outside of the ring. If WWE could put political things aside, Shane Douglas would be a great addition to the Hall. I mean, Koko B Ware is in there!

There's no denying that Shane Douglas has had a storied career in the world of professional wrestling. From his early days as a member of The Triple Threat in ECW to his runs in WCW and WWE, Douglas has left an indelible mark on the industry and solidified his place as one of the greatest wrestlers of all time.

Which is why it's about time that Douglas be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame.

Douglas' list of accomplishments is impressive to say the least. He's a four-time ECW World Heavyweight Champion, a two-time WCW United States Champion, and a two-time WWF Intercontinental Champion. He's also held numerous other titles throughout his career, including the NWA World Heavyweight Championship and the WCW World Tag Team Championship.

But it's not just Douglas' in-ring accomplishments that make him a worthy Hall of Fame inductee. He's also a pioneer of the hardcore wrestling style, helping to popularize the use of tables, ladders, and chairs in matches. He's also been a mentor to many young wrestlers, helping to shape the careers of the next generation of superstars.

In short, Shane Douglas is more than deserving of a spot in the WWE Hall of Fame. Here's hoping that he gets the recognition he deserves and takes his place among the greatest wrestlers in history. If you're younger and unfamiliar with his work, check it out!

Book This Episode 1: The Summer of Punk Rebooked Prelude

Let’s go back to 2011, specifically June of 2011. CM Punk’s contract is expiring soon and he’s getting ready to have the biggest run of his career. On June 27th, 2011 CM Punk would cut a promo that would have the wrestling world buzzing for years to come. In his promo, Punk said that his contract expired next month and that he, the Number One Contender, would be leaving WWE with the WWE Championship. He’d also go onto take shots at not only his opponent the following month, John Cena but other icons in the history of WWE. Whether employed by the company or not. He’d also tease defending his WWE Championship in Ring of Honor and New Japan Pro Wrestling. Essentially he’d be a travelling World Champion, ala the territory days. Well, CM Punk did win the WWE Championship the next month from John Cena at Money in the Bank. However, what would happen after would disappoint wrestling fans more than anything else that’s happened in years. How t...

If John Cena Beats Cody Rhodes he Technically Becomes an 18-Time World Champion

John Cena won the Elimination Chamber on Saturday night and secured an Undisputed WWE Championship match against Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania this April. What followed was a shocking heel turn that fans have wanted for years. That’s not what I’m talking about here. We’re talking about how John Cena will technically become an 18-time World Champion if he beats Cody Rhodes. That would put him two ahead of Ric Flair. Ever since Roman Reigns beat Brock Lesnar to unify the WWE Championship and the Universal Championship. From that point on, WWE recognized Roman as having two Championship reigns. With the Universal Championship and with the WWE Championship. Same with Cody Rhodes when he beat Reigns for the Undisputed Championship at last year’s WresteMania. If you look at WWE’s website it shows two concurrent reigns for Cody. If Cena beats Cody it’s always possible that WWE in the future recognizes this as one World Title reign instead of two. There’s a few of Flair’s reign...

Bobby Lashley Issues Warning to Jon Moxley

Bobby Lashley debuted in All Elite Wrestling on October 30th last year, rejoining his former WWE stablemates MVP and Shelton Benjamin, forming The Hurt Syndicate. Lashley and The Hurt Syndicate are one of the hottest acts in AEW right now with Lashley and Benjamin winning the World Tag Team Titles last month. It’s inevitable that Bobby Lashley will get a World Championship shot at some point. He’s very over right now and a legit main event talent. Lashley gave a warning to AEW World Champion Jon Moxley when speaking to the Sporting Tribune . Lashley said it’s only a matter of time till they face off but he’s focused on his tag team right now. Lashley said that when Jon Moxley sees him in the locker room, he stays clear of him. Despite being cheered like a babyface, Bobby Lashley is a heel and Jon Moxley is also a heel so I don’t see them facing off soon. But I like the idea of a Moxley/Lashley match whether it’s for the Title or not. Saying that, I’d also be a fan of Bo...
