If this true, which I doubt, can you imagine the calls he could get from his old tag team partner Johnny"ace"Lariintis. Hi Shane hows work going. Its been tough in the WWE with the congress investigating us and all. Yeah but the new diva search girls are hot and all, so life anit all bad. Hows is it going there puting up next weeks ad signs. Hey Vince is on the other line I have to take this call, you remember Vince the guy you pissed off so bad he wont hire you for anything, latter buddy.

How sweet would it be if he won Employee of the Month. In the tradition of Floor Manager Bob Whittaker, in the tradition of CSR Emily Tilsburg, all the Cart Boys, Bill in Sporting Goods; I accept this 'Employee of the Month' plaque and glazed ham. Wait a second . . . wait a second . . . Old Irma the Greeter, the kids working the mini Pizza Hut . . . the fat man himself, Les behind the video game counter . . . and they can all KISS . . . MY . . . ASS! *throws plaque on the sales floor* ^ This made me laugh. Bob Whitaker just got where he was by stepping on everyone and helding people down. Damn that glass ceiling. |

I wonder if Shane yells at the Cart Attendants for not having any carts in the store. that would be epic.
*I work at a TARGET as well, I would find it an honor if Shane Douglas cut a promo on me.

Would he disapprove of his workers forming cliques?
I can just picture it when there's music playing over the p.a. sysytem. He'll interrupt the music for a store announcement by screaming "Cut the f'ing music! Attention customers, the store will be closing in 15 minutes. Please make your final selections."

Good for him for knowing it was time to move on. If he gets the urge to wrestle there are a few Indy Feds out that way.

Whenever he walks in or out of the store, they should play his entrance theme over the PA.

Do you think he'll try to form the Triple Threat with Tom Adleman in the backroom and Tony Wallulis in guest services?

At least he's the manager. That is true. He could be working as a fry cook at Red Robin or something. Still, I think it's a shame that a guy with that much talent could be working in a big box store. But then again, if being away from the environment of pro wrestling that might be fostering his addictions is going to help him, I'm all for it. Plus, they could have signings there every once in a while. And I like Target. As someone who used to work with addicts, I do agree with you. At least he realized that before it was too late. I cannot tell you how many guys came in who lost great jobs, homes and families because they got too deep in a negative lifestyle. Sometimes, it's a matter of swallowing your pride and starting over. At least he won't have to do it out of his car or a homeless shelter like some. |

Taken from the Franchise's own forums:
I've been a Shane Douglas fan forever and this past week could NOT believe my eyes!
I was shopping at Target in Monaca, PA and guess who my cashier was? Yep, none other than THE Shane Douglas! NO, it wasn't a look-a-like, his name tag said "Troy new Target member". I even asked at the service desk if it was him and the woman assured me it was.
So my question to this forum is why would a multi-million dollar athlete have to take a minimum wage job at a discount store? Rolling Eyes I'm not saying this as a slam, it's an honest question.
I kind of felt embarassed for him as he scanned my personal hygiene products and dog food. I hope he's doing well.

Good thing you didnt have any ECW DVD's or he may have tried to shoot you with the laser scanner. |

yes. this thread will have a special place in my heart forever.
I imagine that he still has the boots with the tassels under his khaki slacks.
Seeing old people come in wearing halos and he just stands there sweating because he wants to grab it and shake it.
He's giving a meeting in the morning and while writing on th edry erase board, he drags his nails across but it doesn't make the screeching noise.
And my final thought:
Human Resources Lady: "Hey troy"
(He turns around)
Human Resources Lady: "Meet the new hire, her name is Francine...Francine McCalister"
(Shane turns around with the quickness)
Shane: "Francine?!? Oh hi there, what school do you go to?"
Francine: "I just graduated high school"
Shane: "Oh really..."
Francine: "I was the head cheerleader so that's what I eventually wanna become at college."
Human Resource Lady: "Maybe you can be head cheerleader for the franchise....."
(Shane's eyes widen)
Human Resource Lady: "...Store in our market"
Shane: "Riiiiiiiiiiight"
Francine: Probably when i cheer up, I had to give up my pitbull today to my sister boyfriend Gary today. That's the 2nd pitbull I gave up. Ironically his name was...
Shane: "Let me guess. Pitbull #2?"
Francine: "How'd you know?"
Shane "Lucky guess..."
Shane thinks to himself: "And I thought yesterday was weird when that smelly old janitor "Funky" Terry bought Desporado form the value movie section."

The only thing this is missing is someone asking for a price check on Cocoa Pebbles. With Bam Bam Rubble on the front of the box. |

OK...I swear to god this is true. I was getting lunch today, and the place I was at has this deal where you can give them your business card and if yours is drawn at random, you get a discount on lunch for your coworkers. The winning business card was from Target....and I swear the name on it was "Troy Martin."  |

I know Troy (Shane) well, as a friend for 15+ years. I can confirm that he is doing fantastic, is clean, and is working a job in the Pittsburgh area as well as taking indy bookings starting in the fall. He still has a family to feed. He just wanted to clear his head from the wrestling business for a while and he probably will never dive back in full time. He justs wants to work local indy shows for IWC, PWX, etc.
