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.

That's good news. As much as this thread may rip on him, it is done only out of respect for one of the best all-round workers of the last 15 years.

I, for one, wish Shane nothing but the best....

I still can't get over the idea that Fuji works as a ticket taker at a movie theater.

I shook hands with him in said movie theater. I managed to not mark out until I got into the screen room.

Out of curiosity, where is this movie theater that he works at?

["Playboy" Don Douglas]

Knoxville, TN. I've heard that he's just an employee, that he's the manager, that he owns the place, and that he works there just to have something to do.

So who knows.

I don't blame him. Give him our best the next time you talk to him, and tell him we're pulling for him.

And to see if he can swing me a little discount if I'm ever in the Pittsburgh area.

I once heard he was walking across the Golden Gate Bridge, thinking of ending it all, when suddenly, it burst into flames.

I can't believe that was ignored by everyone else. I lol'ed personally.

On a more serious note, me and my friends are gonna swing by that Target when we go to Philly for ROH on 11/2.....

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.

wow
I was a Franchise mark and I am trying to totally digest this incident.
