5 WWE Superstars who disliked their own gimmick

#3 Shane Douglas/Dean Douglas

Shane Douglas and WWE wasn't a good combination

Shane Douglas became one of ECW’s biggest stars when he developed an arrogant bad-guy gimmick in 1994 and nicknamed himself “The Franchise”.

His success throughout the year caught the attention of WWE, where he previously worked as a mid-carder in 1990-1991, and he rejoined the company in 1995 with a new name – Dean Douglas – and a new teacher gimmick.

Douglas felt the character was doomed before it even debuted on television and said his second run in WWE was “the worst six months of my entire 38 years in the business”.
