Don’t expect to see the career of Shane Douglas celebrated with an induction into the WWE Hall of Fame.
The Hall of Fame was founded in 1993 with Andre the Giant being the only inductee that year.
On his Something to Wrestle podcast, Bruce Prichard fielded names suggested by fans, with one listener suggesting Douglas.
“Probably not… Shane’s definitely had a Hall of Fame career though.”
Prichard noted that Douglas’ heat with many in the business, as well as his infamously throwing the NWA Worlds Championship to the ground, would likely block an induction.
When another fan suggested former WWF Superstar Nailz, Prichard was quick to shoot the idea of an induction down.
“That may be one of those ‘nevers.’ I don’t know that Nailz had a Hall of Fame career really anywhere. I don’t think he was in the business long enough to do that.”
Nailz was fired from the WWF in 1992 after attacking then-CEO Vince McMahon in his office over a financial dispute.
While he later testified against McMahon, claiming that his former boss had ordered him to take steroids, Nailz outbursts during the trial damaged the credibility of his claims.
