SHANE DOUGLAS: Record Gap Between WCW Tag Team Title Reigns | The Big Bang May 6

Bankie Bruce writes about "the Franchise" Shane Douglas' two WCW World Tag Team Title reigns and the gap between them, as well as the evolution of him.

I've returned with a post on The Big Bang May 6 discussing how Shane Douglas has the longest gap between WCW World Tag Team Title reigns. Interesting look back.

Always thought it was interesting that Shane was part of the New Blood despite being long established and quite old at the time

It's likely because his hatred for Ric Flair made it impossible for him to be in the Millionaire's club.

Because Shane is a ginormous bitch.

Do you know what match this is? I see people mentioning the State Patrol in the replies

Don't know if you are still interested but here is the match.



I was a fan of The Lightning Express back in the 80s. I remember when they beat Sting and Rick Steiner for the UWF Tag Titles. They never really made it much higher than that. Armstrong was big in his father's territory and Horner had a good run in Smokey Mountain, but they couldn't get over the hump in a big promotion. Best was in UWF when Crockett's NWA started working with them before they bought them.

The same reason why guys like Scott Steiner and Jeff Jarrett were in the New Blood. They were heels, lol.

APRIL 10, 2000 - The Night The World Changed | The Big Bang May 6

Bankie Bruce writes about the April 10, 2000 Nitro, with the beginning of Eric Bischoff and Vince Russo's reign on top of a rebooted World Championship Wrestling.

A new post to The Big Bang May 6 on the 25th anniversary of The Night The World Changed, when Eric Bischoff and Vince Russo joined forces. The dawning of the New Blood.

 

[Jacob Fox]

This is years ago, but this may be one of the greatest thing I have ever seen. Conrad really just completely tells Eric Bischoff off for his stupid lies about Starrcade 97. Eric has changed his story on the finish to the Sting vs Hogan finish. If you tell the truth, you don't need a good memory.

Eric's story about the finish doesn't make sense. He blames Sting for "not having his head in the game." YET he still gives Sting the belt TWICE. Conrad Thompson really puts Eric in his place.

Everyone knows that Hogan used his creative control to fuck up the finish of what should have been a two minute match with Sting destroying Hogan.
