Loss Posted December 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2011 "Your attention, class! Your attention!", followed by fingernails on a chalkboard. Dean Douglas explains the definition of knowledge. I'm not a huge Shane Douglas fan, but evil school teacher is a terrible gimmick for a guy who had gotten over in one environment as a star just by being a wrestler who ran his mouth too much. Shane's whining is often annoying, yes, but he did get screwed on this run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Evans Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 Wasn't Douglas a teacher in real life? Matt Striker did this gimmick better in ECW in 2006. I remember hating this when I was a kid. Especially the nails on chalkboard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El-P Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 Wasn't Douglas a teacher in real life? Yes, he did teach when he wasn't wrestling. He was thinking going back into teaching full-time after leaving WCW in 93. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smack2k Posted July 10, 2013 Report Share Posted July 10, 2013 Shane was fucked from the beginning.... I am not the biggest Shane fan (I like him, but dont think he's GREAT, although being from Pittsburgh gives him high marks) but this character idea SUCKED, whether he was a teacher or not... 1 year later and the Franchise Character could have been great for WWF in Summer '96...and no clique around (except Shawn and HHH (who was being punished anyway) to stop it.

Zenjo Posted April 13, 2014 Report Share Posted April 13, 2014 He got me once, but I was prepared with the mute button for the chalkboard scraping after that. I can remember some boring lecturers from my University days, but nobody was as dull as this Dean Douglas character. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteF3 Posted October 17, 2014 Report Share Posted October 17, 2014 I've pretty much hated Douglas so far in '95, but I already have the feeling that these vignettes are going to have me begging to go back to the Douglas/Cactus Jack friendship. I don't think an evil teacher is an IMPOSSIBLE gimmick to pull off, but with this delivery, in this setting, it's hopeless. CW Bergstorm and Melvin Penrod probably could have done this for cheaper.
