Doug Furnas

Doug Furnas (born December 11, 1959) is a former American professional wrestler and powerlifter. Furnas briefly worked for World Championship Wrestling in the early '90s. Furnas was a longtime mainstay of All Japan Pro Wrestling with tag team partner Philip Lafond. It was there, that they had some of the best tag team matches of the 1990s, including one match on May 25, 1992 with Kenta Kobashi and Tsuyoshi Kikuchi which received five stars in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter. The duo joined ECW in late 1996 where they had a series of high profile matches against Sabu and Rob Van Dam. A few months later, both men made their WWF debuts on November 17, 1996 at the Survivor Series pay-per-view. After not getting over despite their wrestling talent, they returned to ECW in late 1997, and won the ECW World Tag Team Title on December 5 from the F.B.I.. Their reign would not last long, however, as they went on to lose the belts to Chris Candido and Lance Storm the very next day.
