I remember him from late 96 furnas and lafon were cool to watch, apparently he died from a battle against parkinsons disease, cut his career short in 2000.
RIP Doug Furnas

Real shame, one of the many cases of a very talented worked not making it because they don't have a gimmick. A great worker and gone too soon

That is so crazy. Swear, no more than 4 days ago my Brother bought the Survivor Series Anthology volume 2 and we saw 96, both of us said how talented their team was. Irony I suppose. RIP.

They were never big in the states, but were very successful in Japan. He and Krofat (Lafon) were a great team, and had unbelievable matches over there. Guy was a world class power lifter too. Guy was a heck of a wrestler/athlete.

I was a huge fan of CanAm Express and always thought they should have done better in WWE.
He will be missed I'm sure.

I had alot of respect for Furnas & Lafon's in ring style.They brought that international talent to the tag team division back in 96.Thankful to have been able to witness some great matches from Furnas,Sad to hear he has passed away.
